Removes the spy glass from Tony's bad eye & turns it the correct way round .
----------------------------------------Observes that we have in fact got a quorum so we can continue on our merry way . It would be nice however to have a leader at the helm to guide us through life's troubled water We dont want to have to open the sealed envelope. nor push that Red Button .. I reckon Alans duties as Scribe recording our attendance has lowered our supplies of ink. We will have to cast a line to try and catch a Cephalopod preferable a squid as that produces the Blue black Ink that I much prefer to plain old black .I dont know how many we need to catch to fill that empty bottle of Quink ?? but the Plus point of catching a squid is that we can eat the surplus as calamari for our tea ---------------------------------------- [Edit 1 times, last edit by densnaps at Sep 12, 2012 1:58:27 PM] |

Greetings all
I've never been tempted to have an expensive watch which is just as well as our local expert now charges £100 for a full clean whereas I've paid £9 to have a new battery fitted in my Hong Kong slim. But then, I don't like jewellery and don't even wear a wedding band. |

I like watches my first watch an Ingersol, a normal clockwork wrist watch plain white face But Luminous the figures and hands coated with green paint
---------------------------------------- I saved my Birthday and Christmas monies to buy it . When I wore it on hi days and Holidays I had my sleeves pulled up just enough so folks knew and admired the fact I had such a wonderful watch, what a suave guy that is they would exclaim as I passed by . In later life I obtained a pocket watch ex military it had the arrow engraved on the back with some letters that I cannot now remember I used it in preference to a wrist watch as I used to catch the straps break them and then lose the works through the gratings 50ft above a concrete floor, end of story Anyway This was Swiss made and had a jeweled movement black face with again with thickly painted numerals and hands giving a green luminous glow in the dark . The glass got broken and I kept in a pocket watch container with a perspex window It was quite radio active and used to set off the monitors when I went into the controlled areas at work it was eventually disposed of............. |

Yup, the second-best fighter of the Battle of Britain! THe Hurricane won that battle shooting down more enemy than all other aircraft put together (60%)! Shsame it does not get the credit which was pinched by the more glamorous Spit!

Moaning all...
----------------------------------------Great pic Den, as Scribe sez, "never got the recognition that the Spitfire got" sadly the Hurrican is often mistaken for the Spitfire. Both planes are wonders of engineering a credit to their designer and to the courageous Spirit of the Pilots that flew them, they look as if nature herself had designed them for the sky! Magnificent!!  Have a great day all..........  Old Sage [Edit 1 times, last edit by Former Member at Sep 13, 2012 6:21:33 PM] |

When I went for stage one flying assessment I'd never even drive a car and so was hardly surprised when they put me down for navigator training. This couldn't have worked out better as I went from the Isle of Man to Canada and then to Germany.
So my time away from a real job in an Insurance company was more like an expensive holiday. |
