Procopius

Ah, the old Scottish passport trick eh?

Sleeper -- Never! The end of the UK would mean the end of Procopius as well. I'd prefer to live forever.

Ah yes but then you'd become immortal by reuniting the Kingdom!! We're on to you.

Tell San Francisco to do his own packing!!

Be sure to wear a flower in your hair

LoL!

Have a good one PC

And former Hello Magazine & Today staff seem to be settling in at the DIA!

'The Kardashians' yields some interesting anagrams, including one ironically that references both hair and buttocks...

Merely eight miles? Pah!

I know, right? When courting Mrs. P, I once ran ten miles to see her. She was unimpressed.

I blame the Proclaimers for setting unreasonable expectations...

Eight miles is a lot PC - pleased to see you're back running even if I may not understand.

Probably my second-favourite scene in the film. (The first is "Be on the lookout for a friendly wing on your starboard side.")

Virtual cigar each for you two.

But for how long....?

D&D...cor - that'll be 1982 then. RAF basic flying training - in desperate need of a distraction from the misery of nearly getting binned from the course every time we flew - bunch of us sat around in the evenings drinking beer and playing D&D. Not cool. But fun

Debs! Squarehead! I have all the Traveller reprint volumes and most of the later editions as well as 2300AD!

I think all this may deserve a thread PC.

You need whatever it is that my wife takes. She babysits two grandchildren all day (one is 2, the other is a newborn) and she still has endless energy. Gotta bottle that stuff.

Google caffeine!

What's that stuff Christopher Walken gave to his racehorses in 'A View to a Kill'?

which yanks?

I get to be both, go dual nationality!

Try hyperscale.com & get into their premier site.

Winter is back here too, north wind howling down from the Arctic bringing the worst weather we've had all winter!

Come to North Borneo! Perpetually 95F and 90% humidity!

I thought it was resin but I can have a look later....

Not surprising really. It was the most beautiful single seater in the ETO.

That's crazy talk, Darbs. Not only is the Fw 190 as ugly as a dog's butthole, but the Fw 190D in particular looks like it was built out of spare car parts.

Just get 617 in with some Lancs and a few Grand Slams.

I'm framing this comment

I could an would if I ad one to base it on

Why not cut the clear back end off a full one to butt against the frame of your front end?

Perfect for any A Model or Avis kit

Are they the decals that need saliva as a setting solution, as they grab so quickly?

That and they're highly frangible, for anti-personnel use.

Happy birthday old bean!

Cookie is wise, as usual.

Happy Birthday dude, and if you are worried about getting old, remember it's better than the alternative!

I think his wife must be the forgetful one!

Seriously

NO

Keep it, feed it

And enjoy it

They're OK really

Ish

Five?! You do know what causes it, right? Buy a TV.

The most beautiful aircraft ever built.

And so say ALL of us

Happy birthday to the one of the most beautiful aircraft ever built .

Get your Matchbox one from the stash and get to work sir!

That's the only one I don't have!

Annoying isn't it?

Infuriating, even!

From what I gather, Airfix sales went up over christmas compared to last year-it's only hornby that's having reduced sales.

Don't worry..... the staff are well trained.

Shares up today, good news I hope.

I got to look longingly at her from out of the window of the hotel where I was stuck doing video interviews.

Shame you didn't get to visit USS Midway. I too enjoyed a visit aboard when I went to San Diego. Perhaps next time...

On the plus side, I did see Carl Vinson and Theodore Roosevelt at their moorings, never seen a CVN in person before. Nice to get a glimpse of them, since I'm paying for them.

Aww shucks. I was at home in a heat wave, on a day off, PC was at work. Of course I sounded happier / more relaxed / ready for edumifaction!

Ha ha, I know what you mean!

Have you not read Prof. Buckley's "Monty's Men"? A well written history that moves on from the now hackneyed view expounded by Hastings, D'Este etc. that the British army was somehow less effective than the Germans or the Americans..

Just finished it and was fairly pleased with it, though I am always a little suspicious of anything that seems to confirm my own prejudices. I wish there was more in-depth tactical writing on 21AG after Normandy and aside from Arnhem.

3 doughnuts - that's ma boy! We'll have you at your ideal fighting weight (like mine) in no time!

Had never heard of those - but yum!

Sorry about the frustrating part.

I would not worry. It has taken years of abuse and thousands of £s to get my body into its current condition. I am not letting it go now. Have you considered fudge doughnuts?

Dead On Arrival?
