Painless

1982 Thatcher !

The only reason those carriers were ever built was so that when the USA send a fleet somewhere to police the world they can call it a “coalition” because the Brits are involved. It also affords them a lovely order for lots of F35 aircraft. We don’t need to “project power” globally, we don’t have an empire.

Just saw this Sidly, not nice mate. At least the weather has broken today. Hope your antibiotics have kicked in and peeing becomes a pleasure rather than a pain. I can whole heartedly relate to water works problems, they are no laughing matter.

That is Artie !

“Nipples” are just the tip of the iceberg!

Artie used to wear such garments on his head for to keep his passengers in line I understand ?

Heal up fast Wingy, I hope this injury hasn’t necessitated cancelling any of your famous catwalk appearances mate, nobody wants that !

Pegasus mission ? 🤔

Gliders Sidly !! 🤓

Truth is Swoop, we have the same international five star Michelin restaurants as America………. McDonalds, Kentucky Fried Chicken, Pizza Hut….. etc. Most of the best chefs in the world are not English and we are proud of that mate 🤣

It has been a long time for sure chaps! For me it depends on if our dog is still around and what his state of health is. Also if Sid can make it or not as we could possibly car share to reduce the fuel bill.

I saw it on YT , he tried so hard to stay with it ! Waited until it was nearly level before banging out…. Impressive.

Thanks for everything Jimbo 🫡

Salute Jim, thanks for saving our arses in Reno (we like to think) 😉

Really missing that Dog pack vibe gents, hoping to get back to some form of routine ASAP.

Chaps, I have been double booked to go to my mate Pete’s 60th birthday celebration on the 10th Sept. His son has arranged an indoor karting event followed by a meal so I cannot decline. Once again circumstances conspire to interrupt my Dogging ! 🙁

🤣🤣🤣

Nice to see you all looking well (in a photo at least). Due to a survey and design cock up we now have to wait for both gas and electric meters to be moved before our already ripped out kitchen can be recommissioned! It could be a six to eight week wait for the electricity gits to fit us in for meter relocation. Deep fecking joy !

Well as I feared RL has chucked a spanner in the works, we are having the kitchen and bathroom completely stripped out and replaced starting tomorrow and we will be living between our house and a friends mum’s empty place in Fareham, (10 miles away). This will require lots of logistical and organisational effort especially as the dog needs to be kept away from installers and chippies, both boys are still living at home(s) just to complicate things further. I have been and will be flat out trying to make it all work so having a whole day away this first weekend of at least 4 would be awkward to say the least. Apologies chaps, next time.

Wow Zukk, that is a hell of a lot to have on your plate. You have both my sympathy, (which I’m sure you don’t want or need) and my admiration, for tackling these incredibly upsetting issues head on mate. Positive vibes heading your way 👍🏻🙏🏼 …….

Hi Ben, we are a small group of mostly older chaps who don’t take ourselves too seriously. We have a number of flyers who fly DCS as well as BOS. Some of us were born in the early 1400s some more recently but we all share a passion for aviation. Please tell us a little about yourself……

Bugger ! Hope you can get it sorted ASAP Crasheroony.

Wow Col, not only is the decimal point in the wrong place but you have converted to imperial as well. Dude !😉

Would that be the Junkers Panzer IV and the Lockheed Sherman ? 🤔
