My wife came in to see me 15 minutes ago in tears after reading this story.

I’m a truck driver and the route I did today was done yesterday by a female driver from a local agency. The look of disappointment when I arrived at my three store drops today was rather obvious and I soon found out why, the lady yesterday was young and sexy.

Pah, women drivers :diablo:

Took our little man (17 months) to get his feet measured for his first ‘proper’ pair of shoes 😀
The assistant took a photo of him wearing his new shoes for the certificate they gave us but Jack wouldn’t stay still and it took about 5 minutes and plety of attempts before we got a good enough picture! :p

But he looks a pleased as punch in it.

I saw on the front cover of this months Airforces Monthly an article saying that there is serious thoughts to the FAA getting new F18’s instead of F35s due to cost and time issues.
Any chance of this happening realistically or just journalist fishing for a story?
