I used to live in East Sheen, one would hold ones nose when going into Richmond for the train, and look down over it at all other times :mrgreen: Knutsford is also very over-rated, we thought we might have to move to Cheshire a couple of years ago and took a look around, isn't it under a...

Electrons are weird. When you get into superconducting they are really really weird. It's a strange world when you get really small.

Well you have clearly never flown a Pitts S2. There is no such thing as a boring landing on one of them! And even one of those would not be able to maintain 10ft AGL in a 90 degree bank. Foolish to expect me to fall for your tall tale. But in general I'd agree with you, after the initial...

Every single one of us should sort out Lasting Power of Attorney for our financial affairs and for our health and welfare. If you don't, and you lose the ability to decide anything for yourself, your nearest and dearest have to apply to this Court of Protection for permission to manage your...

Yeah Yeah Yeah wolfie, you must think I was born yesterday. The FAA pilots' database is public, I just put one of my non-pilot mate's name in there and got a hit. Put my surname in there and you get loads of people come up. You could give any name and we'd be none the wiser. Sorry but I...

Bleeding heck. I'm more confused than Freddie now (and that takes some doing). Which question is the "Yes" in answer to? What 'them' does Part G allow?

No, as a new member of the EU, Scotland would be required to take the Euro. This is one of the core requirements for new EU members and they have no choice in the matter. The same goes for Schengen..... Now, the only way out is that the EU ignores their own rules and laws. There is...

You should avoid debate with Mr Searle, he will twist what you say, very slippery customer.

I suspect Salmond will have to give up quite a lot in the negotiations for admittance of Scotland to the EU. The EU will make sure they get the better of the deal.

Well Salmond is trying to keep the pound. So he is obviously looking to get the BofE to be the lender of last resort for any newly independent Scotland too.

Don't be daft wolfie. A light aircraft'spam can' cannot maintain 10ft AGL in a 90 degree bank. You would have witnessed a fatal crash, you made it up or got fooled by somebody else. You claim to be a commercial pilot but your posting demonstrates ignorance of the fundamentals. I guess it's...

:mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: Brilliant! He's down here because he can't get a job in Scotland and he's down here sending those lovely tenners with the queen's on them head back home. (And he also took a pop at Liverpool so he'll be on the end of some reet foul abuse quite shortly)

Bleeding heck wolfie you are so gullible. Somebody really fooled you with that story. Your hero wasn't just doing his job, the client told him not to go because his client knew more about aviation safety than your hero did. So your hero goes blundering into a building and burns somebody to...

Yawn

Well there is a difference between saving a life and saving a model aircraft. The Yanks actually have quite a refreshing approach to making mistakes when flying around like that. They have a culture of learning from errors and have carrots as well as sticks. So if you think you have messed...

Morning Wolfie, Wondered when you would turn up. I'm still waiting for that AAIB report on your hero...... (PS Spam Cans are things like warriors, 172s etc. If it's got a wheel at the back it's not a spam can)

Well the laws of the land still apply on a football pitch. All players walk onto the pitch expecting the rules of football to be followed. For example, in rugby, it can be quite violent but most violence is within the rules of the game. I've been knocked unconscious and had broken bones and...

Supping anything else with a fine stilton would be simply vulgar (mrs is in chicago so i am "independent george")

They have a life size cardboard cutout of a cop in the entrance of the local B&Q. Probably half the thieves are so daft they reckon he's a real cop, and the other half know he's not a real cop but reckon even a cardboard cutout has more chance of foiling their escape than the real thing if they...

Well it was clearly mental. The skipper had no idea what effect the downwash would have had on the wings on that plane. The wings are an airfoil and the plane could have flown off anywhere including into the rotors. Mental is the word. But I'm getting boring again here. Or maybe not...
