    Gentlemen,

    This is the place for discussion of non-aviation matters.

    If you want a debate about the Nimrod 4, take it to the Modern Military Aviation forum.

    Thanks

    Despite evidence to the contrary, I do have a life you know. 😎

    I don’t care anymore, I’m off for this Months bath and then bed.

    “Any more” and “this month’s bath”, surely?

    “Month” not taking a capital letter due to not being a proper noun, and “month’s” denoting the possessive rather than the plural “months”.

    Live by the sword, die by the sword…… :p

    After discussion with the Webmaster, it seems that we are stuck with the current format due to circumstances beyond his control.

    It might be that a sufficient number of emails from regular posters (and customers of Key Publishing) expressing frank and honest opinions of the new format could result in a reconsideration of the status quo by the Powers That Be.

    Hypothetically speaking, of course. 😉

    ….and YOUR memories not all that good,so please don’t pick holes in mine….

    Once again, you’re derailing a discussion by personalising matters for no good reason.

    Please stop doing it.

    Sorry, but no I can’t, if we were allowed to keep all our Pocket Books when we retired, then I would easily be able to, however they have to be handed in.
    There are however incidents which do stick in ones mind.

    I am sure if I asked you or anyone else “What were you doing” on such and such a date, as clever as one may think one is, I doubt very much you would be able, unless you kept a diary, be able to tell me.

    And as I am not a Trout, please don’t expect me to rise to your very dry fly:p

    Please don’t personalise things so often, mate. There’s no need for it.

    A simple “yes, “no” or”don’t know” would have sufficed.

    No-one’s going to call you a liar on my watch.

    A classic case of “you couldn’t make it up”.

    Except that they did, of course. 🙂
