  1. Still enjoying golf, Pringle sweaters and MSFS.
  2. This from the man who's just bought a 4090?
  3. My old Friend by toad.mp3 My old Friend by toad.zip
  4. "What do you want for Christmas Dad?" "Er....how about Armageddon?" "Is that expensive?" "Twenty-eight quid" "I see...a bargain then?" "Kinda...."
  5. Hmmm….didn’t we spend a million squillion quid on RAF Mount Pleasant back in the eighties so we wouldn’t have to worry about expensive aircraft carriers? Our defence spending since the end of the Cold War seems to run along the lines of “who’s turn is it for something expensive?” without considering what we actually can do or need to do. Not too sure if we need to sail halfway around the world to wind up the Chinese…
  6. We simply don’t have the money for these things and this incident was a symptom of this underfunding. Quite what we need them for anyway is another question. A carrier battle group is a military, economic and societal statement. Notice that neither the Russians or the Chinese have anything approaching the scope of what the US navy can field and they never will. As for our own - absurd -defence procurement policy; at the level of spending we can commit something has to give; for the luxury of two fleet carriers that will never go to sea at the same time we have given up our capability to field an infantry division overseas and have a navy with the fewest ships since Henry VIII watched the Mary Rose sink in Portsmouth harbour. It’s absurd.
  7. This is DCS. They’ll produce a map of Craggy Island before anything useful like the Korean peninsular or the Gulf of Tonkin. I would imagine the promo video will be the usual mix of stirring music, 3 second cut scenes of grey aeroplanes and Mrs. Doyle carrying a tea service between kersplosions.
  8. Could it be…. No? I’ll get me coat….
  9. Yep, this lot used to cheer for Henrik Larsson😀
  10. In the weird, nether world of MSFS multiplayer, I run across a pair of formation flying A340s!
  11. No, no Swep. They're very different. He's an example of a traditional Scottish choir in full voice....
  12. Japan, where great natural beauty meets urban sprawl
  13. Merry Christmas everyone!
