  1. Friar, I believe the guide you want is in the 4.10 documentation which can be downloaded here; link to m4t
  2. Thats exactly wot I just did. Merry Christmas, Brando m8.
  3. I ran the UP updater and it was quick and easy and POW! I have 4.10 in my JSGME. Works a treat. Merry Christmas :Vuvuzela:
  4. What are you missing!? Are you kidding? It's money of course! Closing Heathrow costs the airlines, freight companies customers and the travelling public a large fortune. However, it only costs BAA (British Airports Authority), the owners and operators of Heathrow a small fortune. Loss of landing fees is a pain as is the loss of footfall through all those shops and restaurants but is nothing as to making a major investment in snow ploughs and de-icing equipment. They can live with the bad PR as long as the share price keeps up there. Apparently today the CEO of BAA, Colin Matthews, announced he is to forgo his annual performance bonus for this year as the buck stops with him, etc, etc. What he didn't give up is the huge bonus in share options he is due in 2012 if the company meets it's financial targets set him by it's owners - a Spanish property company! Here ya go, JP; Heathrow 1949
  5. I'm sure it's advice we could all benefit from.
  6. That is a nice room, Jim. I can see why trakir is not an option though.
  7. Two of these and a big white flag. Should do the trick.
  8. alltid bära byxor eller du kommer att ha någon där för att hålla din förändring
  9. Thanks for the pics Kelly... I thought we looked fabulous!?! But maybe GK is right; we should have posed in swimsuits. I believe Jedi often enjoys wearing his mankini at this time of year.
  10. Can't recommend enough. Also available to keep as a pod-cast. BoB vet. Tom Neil Ninety-one years old and he's more lucid than I am.
  11. The BT tower, or the Post Office Tower as it was originally called was the tallest building in London for years. It used to be open to the public too and had a revolving restaurant near the top. When I was a kid one Christmas my mum took my brothers and I to meet dad there for lunch. Can't remember anything about the food except this little outing must have cost them an arm and a leg-it was one expensive restaurant, but the view was fantastic! This would have been 1970, before London had too much in the way of high rise buildings. What I really remember was the amazing view of airliners flying low over central London on their approach to Heathrow airport. The tower was a target of sorts. The following year the IRA detonated a small bomb in the restaurants loo and it's been closed to the public ever since. A great pity really. If you live or work in central London I always thought the real nightmare would be a terrorist on a rooftop armed with a SAM. Heathrow airport is just to the west of London, the prevailing winds come from the west so the approach to Heathrow for airliners crossing the pond is to fly over the north London suburbs where I grew up the before making an easy 180 degree turn onto finals which takes them right over central London from east to west. Man, if some nutcase ever managed to take out a 747 or a big airbus over there it would be like the Titanic going down again.
  12. Thinks Jedi should have a look at EvilBay and score himself a Microsoft force-feedback stick.

    Finally...

    Congratulations Jabo. One of my brothers has worked for the GPO and then BT for 38 years! Frightening.
  15. Almost but you've got it the wrong way round. "If you wanna be tough, you gotta be dumb?" Thats how you get into airborne forces! @Fruitbat; never been up Snowden! Not too sure about the New Forest. I know the area quite well and it's muddy, bushy and er, kinda flat We've gotta take FT for culture shock purposes too. How about coast to coast via the English Lakes. Start with the guided tour of Sellafield then via Ambleside, Windermere and Kendal. Onto Richmond via the Dales, then give up at Catterick garrison and home on the M1! p.s, when you were in the TA did they ever take you down to Lulworth to go BANG! with the Tank Brigade? I think Sid's boy is there now.
  16. Climbing a mountain in the middle of the night? Rox, have you ever considered a career in the Royal Marines? You know you'd fit in quite well. Before I'm too old I want to go climbing in the English Lake District with you and FruitBat. You'd love it.
  17. Yep, samething here tonight Friar. I feel for you and I'd like to have a go at feeling for the sisters too!
  18. Mmmm.....if it's gonna be bf110tastic then I think I'll need a new CPU and more ram. Which means bye, bye good 'ol XP.
