Calling someone’s position “crap”, so you’re a real intellectual heavyweight then eh?

As the advert says,”Calm down, dear.” (Or seek a sense of humour transplant.) Your way-over-the-top, silly toilet example was asking for a sideswipe, and, since most people are aware that the toilet and crap production are normally inextricably intertwined, so Kev35’s comment was a wry analogy to that fact, but obviously went clear over the top of your head (made me laugh, by the way, Kev.)

Every resource? How about beating confessions out of prisoners?

How about winding your neck in, and making sensible statements?

Ironically, a young man has just had his murder conviction quashed, because his mobile phone records (which weren’t accessed at the time) showed that he was nowhere near the location, so maybe it cuts both ways?

A German test pilot, Hans-Werner Lerche, reckoned that only the DB601-powered Luftwaffe fighters had a hope against the Tempest.

Humbrol Matt 73! 🙂

Matt Wine’s a new one to me.

Thr reference no was 309, but I’ve never seen a colour sample; it wasn’t the BS381C:283 Aircraft Grey Green so beloved of model paint makers.
The RAF Museum has vast numbers of Supermarine drawings, on microfilm, and, if they don’t have the actual drawings for the IX, they’ll have the same frame numbers for other Marks, which will give you a start. Go to the library, ask for the MAC list, and prepare to take all day; there are thousands to plough through.

Wondering if they’re selling hosepipes down south half price?

I had a catalogue, a few days ago, which was doing exactly that.

TV today is far superior to that of 1970s or 80s. Most of the comedy series are far better written and acted than most of those of 30 years ago.

Oh, please, if it doesn’t have incessant references to bodily functions, it isn’t funny (allegedly.) Four-letter words are a must, in drama, now, otherwise it isn’t “real.”

Look at sports telly; multi camera HD coverage of a far bigger variety of games, sports and competitions.

Plus screaming commentators, daft animations, and background music, because the producers believe that we all have the attention span of a gnat.

Yes, viewing figures are lower for pretty obvious reasons but if comparing like with like, was Opportunity Knocks really better than BGT?

Well at least we didn’t have a screaming audience, whipped into a frenzy by the organisers, drowning out the “artists” (although I have to admit that can have an advantage, at times.)

It’s rather like a small boy, who gets thoroughly smacked for misbehaving, so runs off, and, when he thinks he’s far enough away, turns round and sticks out his tongue.
