    You didn’t see my specific F35 CVs which the carrier variant

    You didn’t see my specific F35 CVs which the carrier variant.
    To my knowledge the F35 CV has hit snags/delays (usual government funding) and Rolls Royce along with their American partner are funding the progress development of the RR Lift Fan (originally used in the Harrier) for the F35 CV.

    By the time she floats/commissioned (2020), by the RN there will either be F35 CVs or equivalent drones, UAVs, UCAVs along with helicopters to be on board.

    BAE are in the F35 program in a big way but are likewise hamstrung without an engine for the F35 CV.

    You should come to ‘sunny’ Morningside

    It would appear, according to National statistics my small Market Town has the most takeaways than any other Town in England, I can tell you that the contents of a takeaway carton last the eater immediately to my driveway from the local Kebab shop. Today, I collected 9 of these cartons, flattened them, went up town, and put them all through the Kebab shops letterbox.

    You should come to ‘sunny’ Morningside. Every fast food outlet closes by 10.30 pm or 11 pm but oh no this Italian Chippie (very questionable fire in the mid 1980s – it was de chip fryer the Italian owner said – more like de insurance fryer):rolleyes:

    Anyway what does he do? Stays open until when ever he likes. No local soul patronises the place late at night but he stays open until the wee hours of the morning. Why you may ask? The night clubbers in the city and who are too drunk to get the night bus home, refused by taxis walk home to miles away passing this late night dive.

    End result, rubbish bin pushed in front of our gate (used as late night picnic table by revellers):mad:, chips and sauce all over our gate, all over the entrance path, all over the pavement and late at night we even have foxes and mice/rats scrabbling about. In the winter the chips freeze on the pavement and down I have gone twice on the oily ice.

    Council helpless as he simply ignores them. All the other shops keep their pavement clean but Oh no not this Italian (he claims ‘connections’), he is a law unto himself in an otherwise peaceful Morningside.

    He hurled half an hour of rank filth at me during the afternoon on the 31 Dec 2010. Why again you may ask? I was washing my drive/path within my boundary of all the grit, snow and rubbish in time for seeing the New Year in. Police dispatcher heard most of the one way/one sided abuse on the phone while I called them and her advice was that I should withdraw and lock my door (Why in damnation you may ask again? he wants to be an Italian Thug and sh.te, and I have to withdraw; but the young lady was thinking about my safety. Police did attend but seem fairly helpless against the Italian sh.te.)

    I wish some of the regulars would plough in to this as it is a REAL issue

    Hi Bazv
    I wish some of the regulars (in Gen Disc.) would plough in to this as it is a REAL issue.

    The lady who has raised the question is a great (real) person and former head of the famous Royal Institution.

    Youngster escaping from the internet, should be part of the school curriculum, university curriculum and work ethics.

    Instead we have school, university and work bending over backwards to provide the Internet for unlimited usage. Book,s newspapers, journals – “oh! they are part of the Ark, get shot of them.”;)

    End result – people not just kids who think that everything revolves around what’s on their computer screen.:mad:

    And then the UK moan about customer service – it’s often because it is delivered through the eyes of a person young or older whose only perspective of the problem/issue is the information shown on the screen (in contrast to engaging with the person, understanding their problem/needs and then resolving it to the best of their ability or moving it to someone who can resolve it.)

    Computers and screens are purely decision support in most cases,and it isn’t the end all and be all of everything in life.

    The aspect that’s at the crux of the pioneering part stems from the fact that no one has thought of printing a complete flyable structure yet

    I shall try but the priority is to get myself a real full time accounts related job

    Hi Lance
    I shall try but the priority is to get myself a real full time accounts related job before the next milk round. Now that I have graduated with a BA (Hons) Accounting and begin my professional accounting exams. That is of course like looking for a needle in a haystack with the economy as it presently is.

    I enjoy doing these aircraft related stats as I know they are quantifiable:) unlike the rubbish stats. used by politicians and the likes of the NHS on non quantifiable topics such as human illness, etc

    It will be a nice background task though.;)

    What am I actually reading just now …

    Switching between –
    Haynes Owner’s Workshop Manual – Aerospatiale/BAC Concorde 1969 onwards (all models)
    and
    Corporate Fraud: Prevention and Detection by Stephen Hill

    And no wise cracks like I got at my non graduate part time work –
    No I do not have a Concorde in the ‘shed’ (like to if I could)
    and
    Not studying how to defraud any business simply to be an even better financial auditer.

    Hi Jim – my parents were like your wife and yourself…

    Hi Jim – my parents were like your wife and yourself and woe be unto me if I was caught dog earing a book, doodling in one or worse still reading at the table while eating (got away with the latter, if mum and dad were out though):D

    There is a slogan which is on a Waterstone’s shopping bag taped to the end of my bookshelf which simply on a black background in gold letters says –
    “There’s no friend as loyal as a book”.

    Absolutely true, never has gone wrong for me.;)

    Touché – most MPs akin to Managers ie “b..lsh.tters”

    The entry visa period based health surcharge would simply be applied to one big policy run on behalf of a government investment in a private health insurance scheme which would pay out in the unlikely event of claims.

    The Health tourists would slow down if not stop.
