  1. Ooh, you're fussy.
  2. I remember reading somewhere about a study the RAF did when they thought they might have to fight Spitfires in the Israeli Air Force with Lightnings. It was found to be difficult to shoot them down with heat-seeking missiles because of the small heat signature.
  3. There's far more to it than just land availability. Even back when I was talking to GOSE and other planners the figure of over 2.5 million homes in 10 years was mentioned but when I asked where the money was going to come from all I got was blank looks. Multiply 2.5m by £150k average price and see what you get.
  4. Too many people in the country. If we hasn't had an increase of 10 million extra over the las decade or so then there would be plenty of housing.
  5. Yes Verbal, I'm with you.
  6. Seems a bit steep to me.
  7. Seems a bit steep to me.
  8. Sending goods outside the EU is a right pain in the bottom.
  9. Of course it's not a con. It's always the buyer that sets the price, not the seller.
  10. Yeah, that'll make a difference.
  11. We were watching some repeats of NTNOCN a week or so ago and were wondering where he was. Thanks for the memories Mel.
  12. Come on Sue, tell us more. Did you get all durty?
  13. Isn't that true about all of them?
  14. Yep, me too, second entry.
  15. When I visited that in the late 60s you could still climb into the cockpit.
  16. I can't promise anything but I'll see what I can do.
  17. Thanks, I'll set my recorder for that. My dad was an LAC in Coastal Command during the war and was an instrument technician in Mosquitos as well as Beaufighters. The aircrew used to say that they preferred the Beaufighter going into the attack and the Mosquito on the way out.
  18. I don't quite follow that logic. Whatever, arguing over a technical difference is not really significant. I think we can all agree that the economy is bumping along at a an uninspiring level.
  19. The bastards got in my way yesterday. Laval was closed to through traffic from 10:00 to 14:30 and we had a 50 minute diversion with the caravan. Why couldn't they have waited so I could drive across?
  20. Some people have to take what they can get.
  21. Rasiak's goal at Pride Park was only a poor penalty or two away from promotion to much greater riches.
  22. I don't think they've passed on the VAT for some time.
  23. Just look up the number of convicted murderers who kill again after release.
  24. Murderers have the right not to be executed. They should be grateful for that.
  25. http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2013/jun/19/sky-sports-bt-sport-premier-league The full list of the first tranche of televised matches is unlikely to be finalised until the first or second week of July.
