Moving shops, combined with check-out staff who are mathematically incompetent, play havoc with the senses! As for the full body bags, they would certainly alleviate the need for toilets. Plenty of room for waste inside and it would also add to the cushioning effect! Ian 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martian Posted February 7, 2023 Author Share Posted February 7, 2023 4 hours ago, Lunatech said: 🤣🤣🤣 I can see the wisdom of getting passengers to wear these bags, but rather think suspicions might be raised about flight safety and the like if they are told 'please wear these for the flight, it will avoid the need for us to come around picking-up body parts after the 'flight'. Definately best if we tell them it's purely to contain spillages during the flight. Which is of course partly true. Surely one look at the contraption should be enough to raise any sane person's suspicions? 3 hours ago, LorenSharp said: Wearing their black bags is the same as wearing a seat belt. It's not for safety. It's because the Ambulance drivers are too lazy to look for the bodies. Wibble Factor ten! Martian 👽 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
general melchett Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 (edited) Quote On the negative side, these “full-body” bags would make it difficult to use the loo in-flight. As Ian says it might just make the ladies powder room redundant, although being a self-contained unit will almost certainly have it's drawbacks.... Quote Glad to see his shop is not moving. No, it's staying put at the moment which suits Darling perfectly as he never knows where he is...chap's all over the shop....

Martian Posted February 7, 2023 Author Share Posted February 7, 2023 Help Needed! As most of you good Earthlings may be aware, tech is not exactly my forte! I am having a really hard time re-sizing the pictures I want to decorate the ceiling of my Sedan with. Is there anyone who, if I send them the pictures I am trying to reduce in size and the dimensions I want to reduce them to, could do this for me? I accept that there are probably Neandertals with more computer skills than myself and asking for help is the best way to get my build moving a bit faster.

Well, if he enjoys the DTs then fair play to him, pink elephants make perfect sense, Funny, we were chatting on the landline last night about various things, the Memsahib's eclectic habits (and no, before anyone asks, not remotely-controlled nun costumes, although, it's an idea), the weather, our charabancs, changes to the LBW rule etc, including thoughts for SMW this year and here your name came up several times,...all I can say is, start preparing now and be very, very afraid, Your black bin bag won't be of much help but the contents just might be. Quote More worrying, for the General at least, is the fact that the "Special Guest Star" is supposed to be arriving at Martian Towers tomorrow. Oh good lord, not Madam 'Fifi' (with two ffs) Fontaine of Nether Wallop and her unicycle riding llamas? we still haven't managed to remove the stains from her last visit... Nothing very exciting but I managed to glue the fuselage together with no drama, (in fact I was surprised at just how good the fit was). Some Tamiya Basic Grey filler was run along the seam lines which were then smoothed off using Infini Model sanding-stick and polished with 8000 and 13000 grade Micro Mesh cloth. As you can see the windows were also masked ready for the inevitable Big push, coming up soon. Can't put it off any longer so it's onto the quad wing plank arrangement next....

general melchett Posted February 9, 2023 Share Posted February 9, 2023 Ah, Bad Co CC, great band, part of the soundtrack of my yoof, I still get cold shivers listening to Paul Rogers sing Wishing Well (although that might be down to having one too many of matron's early morning ice showers back in the day). Don't recall Fifi being in the line up but who knows what went on, everyone was so strung out, not that I know what that means I don't suggest you search for her on You Tube, you'll never be the same again...I know I wasn't. Quote I spotted a modelling post. Do I get a prize?? Sorry about that Adrian, I'll try not to make a habit of it....yes, one of Baldrick's prize 'turnips' is on it's way to you...enjoy. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry1954 Posted February 9, 2023 Share Posted February 9, 2023 A very nice coming together of the fuselage. Given the low probability of this "flying" machine ever actually flying, it sort of reminds me of a coffin ...........🤔 Terry 1 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
