    I can’t bring Steve back, but I did copy his thought’s on what he would do if he only had a week to live :-

Would I be scared? No. We all get a finite time here, and I’d like to think I’ve lived as full a life as I could so far. No regrets at all.

    I like many others never met Steve, but if only more people had his qualities the world would be a better place.

    This was a good thread with great photos of Peruvian Mig-29s.

    Pathetic as they are, youngsters from India/Pakistan like to spoil a thread like this by signing up under false names for a few posts to supposedley give a bad name to their “enemy”!

    “Jani” joined the forum on 14 July setting up a profile of a 21 year old naval officer (who can’t spell!) and whose hobby is “i like watching naval and airforce weapons”!

    Of his 4 posts, the ones about the Swiss arms exports and the raptor copy were quite funny, but all are designed to flame:-

    Topic: Best Tank in the World
    pakistan made al khalid is not number 1 but it is king of all tanks fast mover and with a deadly weapons

    Topic: Swiss To Export of Military Equipment to India, Pakistan, South Korea and Iraq
    i dont think any knife do harm to pakistans brave military

    Topic: PAK FA news
    u people dont know that china is workin on a millinon dollar project which is known as jxx which is a copy of f 22 raptor these fighter will be enter i plaa in 2009 scheduled when they want to sell it they will sell it to pakistan to counter any plane in the worl with stealth even indian tejas, su 37 , or may be f35 cannot catch it

    Topic: Photos of mig 29 Peruvians
    these planes cannot compete with the like of lates f 16 block 52

    A couple of people have in return done the same thing on Indian threads, ruining the enjoyment of everyone. All we can do is to ignore them and hope the mods ban them.

    Is that a statement or a question and to whom do you refer? I know Peter Green was in the original line up and Lindsey Buckingham wasn’t……

    I quite liked the Lindsay Buckingham “era” – I must have played Rumours about a million times! 😮

    I am just waiting for the boring Eric C to appear Anna 😉 :rolleyes: 😉

    Ronald Isley of the Isley Brothers! He is 64 now!

    Tremendously under-rated but not by Jimi Hendrix who used to play in the band!

    Check out his playing in “That Lady”, “Summer Breeze”, “Voyage to Atlantis”, “Highways of my Life”

    Eric C is God!?! Say it ain’t so 😀

    Good post Tony, just one thing i’m whining about:

    Saddam invaded Iran on September 22nd, 1980. The final 54 hostages were released on January 20th, 1981 when Reagan was inaugurated and 8 billion US$ worth of Iranian assets, previously frozen after the revolution, were released again. There was an earlier group of hostages released in November 1979 though.

    You’r right about the dates! I’ve got the dates mixed up: Saddam invaded in 1980, 10 months after the hostages were taken in November 1979, but before they were released in January 1981.

    Still, the point was the US put pressure on Iran in many ways, including possibly encouraging Iraq to attack, after the hostages were taken.
