Painless

Hey JP, Not at all surprising . As you know Canada has always been my favorite even though I've only ever seen it from 38,000 ft : ) The Canadian people that I have met have certainly been good eggs and diverse to say the least. There is Squawk and Artie, two intelligent good humoured "lumberjack" types, BG an accomplished outdoor type and a natural leader. Then there is your good self, a high heel wearing manager with a liking for "traditional" underwear and aftershave ?? I wonder if those figures would be any different if it was you who welcomed the Brits into the country Cheers Kelly old bean, Mick xx

~S~ BA old chum, My fondest memories of playing "rugger" are of things that happened off the pitch and some hours later !!! I remember having an 18 stone prop forward sitting on my lap telling me what lovely green eyes I had only moments before we had a fight !! I suppose that IS a bit kinky ? ~S~ Shameless.

~S~ Dave m8, Very nice job, it's interesting to see them next to each other to appreciate the "evolution" ~S~ Mick.

~S~ Pup sir, Thanks for posting that M8, it seems to have spawned a very amusing thread BTW: The only "ball" game I'm interested in is Rugby, nothing kinky about that right ?? ~S~ P.

~S~ Todd, How do you feel about Liver and Bacon with mash and lots of gravy M8 mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Looks like a nice place but if it wants to be really British they should serve very small portions and charge a fortune..........oh yes and it should be cooked by a Polish chef ! LOL Cheers, Mick.

~S~ Fellow modellers, This is how the black wash will look over the top of the splinter green camouflage after spraying.................. Cheers, Mick.

Only four !! Come on we can do better than that ! ~S~ Shameless.

~S~ Kelly, Pooka M8s That Spit is almost exactly the same colour as my........................ I'll try and install that skin into my Game Pook : ) ~S~ Pinkless.

~S~ Gec M8, EXCELLENT !!! ~S~ P.

~S~ Chaps, Mr Thor2 (a friend of Gec and Villa and a superb 109 pilot) said he would also be coming over for the show with some of his squad M8s from Croatia and would love to meet up with us, ~S~ P.

~S~ Chaps, ONE FOR THE DDz !!! BTW: a DD has won the Top Gun trophy for the last five years . How about a few more of you talented DDz becoming JO members so you compete next year !! I am going to hang up my lucky TG Spitfire socks and join the judges from now on. ~S~ P.

~S~ Eshark M8, Thanks for the good publicity ! LOL It is one hell of an event and one that could be won next year by several DDz that I can think of including your good self sir. IF any DDz are willing go through the 3 week BFS course and become a paid up member of JO (about $50 a year) then I would love to see that TG trophy stay with us I am not going to compete next year I'm getting too old ! I will join the judges panel. A DangerDog has won TG for the last 5 years ! ~S~ Painless.

~S~ Fellow DDz, We seem to have another trophy for our cabinet boys ! It was a very close run thing all bloody day LOL ~S~ Painless.

~S~ Chaps, For those who helped Bojan, Eshark and myself practice this last week and anyone else who is interested I have attached the TS list of competitors and the results after an eight and a half hour day of dogfighting....phew The 1 vs 1 dogfight practice really helped as I managed to win that particular section which got my score back on track after a "slow" start The contest goes on today with all of the races and special events................ ~S~ P.

~S~ Chaps, Now thats more like it Why did I ever doubt that this was no more than a floater in the "S" bend !!! LOL Cheers merry men. ~S~ Feckless.

~S~ Chaps, Well I.............. um.............. well I don't know what to say except Skidders is a rather handsom fellow and I'm only human !!! LMAO ~S~ Pantless.

~S~ Chaps, OK time to calm down and let this little "spat" get sorted out via PMs . This is NOT what we do. In a world full of conflict and real life worries this is our retreat amongst FRIENDS Respectfully, Painless.

~S~, Just trying out the preliminary panel line wash to see what works : )...... Cheers, Mick

~S~ Chaps, Just finished the undercarriage : ) I've also recieved the after market under wing bomb racks sadly missing from the standard kit for some reason Just the glazing to go and she will be ready to spray as soon as the weather gets a little warmer Cheers, Mick

~S~ Dino, Great idea all round M8 !. "The Blaigowrie Memorial Trophy" (BMT) sounds good to me. As you know a few of us DDz have competed in the JO Top Gun competition over the years. This is made up of 5 vs 5, 2 vs 2 and 1 vs 1 dogfights plus a host of races around several courses plus various difficult landings like on an aircraft carrier without a tail hook, landing on a suspended runway at 2200m set at a 15 degree incline followed by a dead stick landing in a valley below, a timed fast landing from 1000m. Also a loop over starting under a bridge set in a corridore of ballons. The maps are made available a month in advance so competitors can practice. Just a few ideas : ) BTW: I love the maximum friendly kill points idea perhaps against the clock (5 minutes?) we should include that LOL ! To run this type of event takes many hours (6 to 8 at least) so you may need to hold it on a weekend starting around mid day GMT to give both sides of the pond a chance to compete. Plenty of notice for the date needs to be given to ensure chaps can put the time aside from real life. I would be happy to help create the rules and sit on a judges panel perhaps made up of three of us for the first annual event. ~S~ Painless.

~S~ Chaps, Just watched it on BBC iplayer and WOW ! Did anyone notice Colin wipe the tear from his eye just after climbing out of the Lanc ? Bongo: I thought "Cath" was a jolly fine bunch of women ! LOL With the greatest of respect of course ~S~ Painless

~S~ CF and Gec M8s, A very happy birthday to a top drawer pair !! LOL. ~S~ Painless

~S~ Chaps, Made some good progress this past week : ) Trying to think ahead to prepare for the spraying stage. Siobhan says she cant find the kitchen table !! LOL ~S~ P.

~S~ Chaps, Will be sharing with Sid and up for whatever follows the weekend : ) ~S~ Painless

~S~ Cap't, That was great to watch now will someone pass me a friggin tissue !! LOL ~S~ Painless PS: I'm so glad you have the mutts Helen !
