  1. I play golf...and I miss playing golf.
  2. Wow. At these prices I'm starting to wonder about renting a virtual machine instead of owning a box of components that will be obsolete by year three?
  3. Yes, they're all making that universal signal that means "Gentlemen, start your tumble-dryers"
  4. Very many congratulations Major https://www.stephanniecamossephotography.com/post/2019/06/22/tyler-kendall-bozeman-mt-engagement
  5. Looks pretty good. I've updated and installed the UK scenery - a six and a half hour process - but other than a little, local trot around I've not explored it yet. With the new height map the Jurassic Coast looks very authentic except for the freakin' trees! Not only has it trees on the beach a' la CLoD but also trees up the cliffs! Interesting to see Heathrow in the near distance at the end of your movie. I wonder if Boris will one day be able to afford the courage of his convictions and build a new London Airport out in the Thames Estuary?

    There are shortages of all chips at the moment. The car industry is on short time working all over the world at the moment as supply cannot keep up with demand. Chip manufacturing is not an on-off industry. Think of a steel works. Once production ceases it takes time to get all the processes going again. Many closed down during early lockdowns last year and the added demand for devices during lockdown was not anticipated by the industry. They're struggling now to reach pre-lockdown levels of production but it will come back.

    Just no. Thats just too much. Prices and availability will come down eventually. I don't think it's due to bit coin mining so much as a world shortage of chips at the moment.
  8. Followed this Airbus from takeoff in Gibraltar in realtime and live weather as it climbed and headed north. i can just imagine the drinks trolley on board doing a roaring trade. "When do we touch down in Birmingham, Miss?" "In an hour and twenty minutes sir" "Great. I'll have a treble brandy and coke, the wife will have a double vodka and granny will have a large gin and orange."
  9. Interesting...looks like we'll be getting a wide selection of cold war heavy metal in the near future....

    Must get myself some pedals some day.... In a moment of weekend lockdown boredom I took my now old toys out for some exercise today. Not far down the coast they're trying to protect what Brunel built in the middle of the nineteenth century from the effects of climate change in the early twenty-first. The only way to protect the line whilst keeping it open is to use this floating rig which can 'walk' itself along the foot of the embankment pile-driving as it goes. A couple of miles further down the road provides a splendid view of some of the very large ships which have been anchored off Torbay and Lyme Bay for the last ten months. Most of the cruise ships seem to have come here from the Med. to enjoy the free parking but further out are tankers and bulk carriers with nowhere to go either. This is all a shocking twenty miles from where I live so I expect I'm breaking some sort of rule but this is the furthest I've travelled from my home in about five months!

    Luuurvley! Are you waiting on a 3070 or 3080 Crash?
  12. The real thing is much, much more scary.
  13. Quick lunge around Dartmoor in the MB....woteveritis. Takeoff from Exeter heading west, then hang a sharp left to follow the M5 south over the river Exe and follow the A38 up over Haldon hill at the delightfully named Splatford Split.

    Hello All

    Hi Marc, just from this comment I know you’ll fit in with us. Welcome to the DangerDogz, nice to have you here and merry Christmas 👍
  15. I think thats because the 'photo I put up is from @2009. The one from the FB ad is probably much more recent and reflects the amount of rot that's taken place.
  16. They're ex-Hungarian airforce. It's on the edge of what was Papa airbase in the north-west of the country. The base itself was closed, malleted and then rebuilt years ago as a staging post for USAF Globemasters. Mr. Local farmer got most of his land back that had been confiscated during the communist period but with the added 'gift' of the unwanted residue of their ex-soviet clunkers. They're parked just off the remains of a taxiway to nowhere.
  17. Hi Reggie. I've been to Lapland. It's not in Berkshire........
