1. The games will make money…………..for who?

2. The games will be a success……………possibly.

3. A chance for GB to show the world there is still some G in the GB….if you say so.

For negative vibes, read realism.

When the games are over, and after all the ‘organisers’ and hangars on have taken their token £10 each out of the pot, yeah right, it’ll be very interesting to see the arithmetic. When you strip away all the flags and the balloons, sadly, thats what it all come down to. Its all the ‘piggies at the trough’ behind the scenes that really wind me up. You’ll find them involved everywhere in enterprises like this, as well as in politics…Ooops, but maybe thats a topic for another thread on another day:diablo:

There’s 2 for me. Yamaha RD125 ‘coffin tank’ and a couple of years later, an RD400, a very unforgiving machine if you didn’t treat her right.

I do indeed, and I really don’t think we’re alone.

Who cares! Its all a colossal waste of money and resources anyway.

I’m sure that there are, but it doesn’t mean that some won’t pick up a gun for some much needed money, to ‘help’ the regime out. I’m sure that in some footage shown on Al Jazeera last Friday of mercenaries being rounded up by revolutionaries, that there appeared to be some whites that were rounded up also. As ever AJ say that the footage cannot be verified as genuine. Has anyone else seen this or other clips showing white participants with the mercenaries?

Nostalgic shots for me darren. Both the 330 and the F27 look as though they are on what we called ‘the side stands’ at STN. This was where, due to the small number of Air UK mvts at weekends, the based a/c sat. I can’t be absolutely sure but if the F27 IS at STN, then the young lady under the tail could be one of my colleagues from Servisair.

That is really boring.

IMO most liveries are these days. At least the crane is back.
