Today, the things that ground my gears were mainly MH017-related.

Firstly, there were people posting very graphic images of the wreckage of 9M-MRD, complete with bodies.

Secondly, the conspiracy theorist muppets are already at it; some of those idiots making all kinds of ludicrous claims, from it was a Jewish-ordered shootdown, designed to divert media attention from the goings-on in Palestine and Gaza (Odd that, as my local news channels are still covering this story in some depth.), to claims that the shot-down 777 is in fact 9M-MRO/ MH370.

I give in…

Definitely not from a Supermarine Walrus! 🙂

The part number will (should) be stamped in the “channel” of that geodetic, either toward the end, or in the centre.

Critters Remove Amelia’s Body and Secrete?

Wasn’t me, Guv’nor…

TIGHAR pop up again now with added crap!

Michael, regarding your misreading of the title – The words “nail” squarely” and “head” immediately spring to mind! :eagerness:

There is a sign on my front door, which reads:

“NO free newspapers and NO junk mail”

I caught the postie shoving a copy through my letterbox the other day. I politely indicated the sign (it has been there for at least 3 years), and handed back the copy of The Scum. His face was a picture.
Despicable, right-wing rag.

That will explain Everyman and his dog sitting on the bank at the end of the runway with the kids 🙂 as I headed home

Was that down the A453?
We parked there for a few minutes, and then we noticed that the local Plod had slapped parking tickets on several cars…
In the end, we went to Kegworth Cemetery (only a couple of people there), where I got a few good shots of the ‘225 overflying the memorial to BD092.

I shall be back there tomorrow, early. This time I shall be on my mountain bike.
Look out for a balding, middle-aged man in Lycra; I don’t bite, so if you see me, feel free to say “Hi!” 😉

I was saddened to learn of Stephen’s passing this morning.
Sitting in my vehicle, I shed a tear for this remarkable lad, who I didn’t know, but has touched my life, and the lives of countless others.

Rest In Peace, Stephen.

You achieved more in the few short years you were on this Earth than most of us do in a lifetime.
You were, and will continue to be, an inspiration to so many. You will never be forgotten.

God Speed, young man.

Someone from Nottingham ‘expresses’ their opinion! http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-27242557 😀

Shouldn’t that have read “eggspresses”? :highly_amused:

And before anyone asks, it wasn’t me who lobbed the egg at Farage. More’s the pity…

Hot on the heels of this “story” came an e-mail from a well-known (to me) conspiracy theorist nut-job on this very subject…
It was the same pillock who has e-mailed me regarding the so-called “Howden Moor Incident” only this latest e-mail was from a different address, but still signed with the same name.
