Todd, this is the second time you've brought tears to my eyes. You're meant to be the gun-tottin' redneck remember? One day, and I don't know when yet, the Euro Dogz and the North American Dogz MUST meet.

But in view of the Soviet-style news blackout from the developers of CoD this just cracked me up. "I'll play fishing simulator!"

Does this come as a complete package with monitor/keyboard. If so it's an absolute steal. If not then it's still a bargain. We tend to think in terms of masses of ram, mega graphics cards and huge HD's 'cause thats what modern games demand but if you're looking for a general purpose pc then this would be more than adequate. Do the kids have a camcorder? If so they might get into video editing in the near future which would be this machines only draw-back so far as I can tell. FT, as a Dell it will almost certainly come with Win7 pre-loaded but you do make an interesting point. I've got a couple of friends who have bought Toshiba laptops in the recent past that were preloaded with MS Windows O/S and a whole heap of garbage proclaiming the wonders of Toshiba and this that and the other on start up and have managed to get themselves into a big pickle by not doing updates, installing aps off the internet which would further confuse things, etc, etc.

Isn't that something we all labour under!!?

This would seem to be the right thread to post this in. It's an ad but no, I don't know what it's an ad for either but please feel free to post your suggestions! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7NBNnXNaMl4&feature=related

Yes, good luck Mr. P!

SkyPup, you have my sincere apologies for committing a form of vandalism on your words and links. JP; A little Greek!? Well I suppose thats one mid-life crisis I've got to look forward to. Please also accept my sincere apologies for my act of vandalism. Recently I seem to have lost my sense of proportion but more importantly my sense of humour too. I'm working on that. How did Greece get into the EU? The same way and for the same reasons Spain and Portugal came in. They'd all emerged from periods of military rule/fascist regimes and Western Europe was anxious to tie them into democratic institutions as quickly as possible. The same thing took place two decades later and for the same reasons with Poland, the Baltic states and those other countries of central and eastern Europe emerging into freedom after years under soviet hedgemony.

Oh I haven't stepped forward to "confess" yet Rog as I was hoping to have a bit more fun with JP's world view. Sorry to see I've obviously put you to some unwarranted effort over this Rog and you have my sincerest apologies for having done so. As to removing moderation rights, well I'm not too sure what this means as I'm not aware of any form of moderation here anyway. I was however under the impression that political discussion and boorish political propaganda was rightly verbotten here. I seem to have let myself become impatient with the consistent attacks on my country and continent that JP seems licenced to make. It's true I could reply to them but why should I have to bother? I thought we were here as a group of friends with an interest in PC Flight Sims. I didn't realize that we were the Attila the Hun forums too.

Thats 'cause you've got a shit graphics card Friar. FT's 580 gives him a choice of trees, forest, bushes, walls, carpet and lino. Keep up mate.

From my reading of the release blurb the P51 seems to be flyable from the "outside" i.e. don't have no 'pit!

Mmmm.....mine, tonight, now. This is pretty good for me out in the sticks here and being with wankface.com (aka Tiscali) however it'll probably rain later and it'll go down to tin cans connected with knotted string speed again.

+ about a thousand!! 1.53, oh lordy!! You cannot be serious.

Terrible music but some fantastic air to air!

Thats exactly what I thought. I mean, I'm sure it'll be wonderful but.......why?

And thats why the old guy wasn't allowed in the cockpit of the Spitfire. Who knows what could happen? He could sue, thats what could happen!

Awww....you forget; red sky at night, sheep-shaggers delight!

The one, the only Wing Cmdr. Ken Wallis. In case you missed it this guy is ninety-five years old!

Engine and running gear from a 2-litre Alfa Romeo of some sort. Space frame from what he had lying around the workshop. Front wheel drive of course. To engage jet power simply drive up to Smeatharpe aerodrome on a run-what-you-brung day, put it in neutral and light 'er up. 'Ere we go; it's first run out at the back of an industrial estate a while ago. Don't have the sound up too much!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cjU_I94gh9A

Ah yes, but you see my m8 always does a proper risk assessment before setting off. It's called "mirror, signal, manoeuvre."

My mates jet car ( I kid you not! ) thats fully road legal, taxed, mot'd. I'll take some decent pictures and write it up in the spring when he gets it out again. And yes, thats an engine out of a Gloster Meteor!

To get a visa, Jedi? Pretty easy for a Swede I would imagine. You sure you don't mean a work permit?
