Happy Birthday GG, wishing you many happy landings.
Actually, that's a flattering photo of them as well. A couple of the present ones have been banned from entering USA on the basis that they will give rise to sasquatch rumours.
Kamate, kamate kaora!
Sorry. I couldn't resist. Many happy returns, Mr Kiwi.
I'm outta here before I start inadvertently effacing stereotypes.
Carry on, gentlemen.
Happy birthday Gilliatt!!!! :DQuote:

Mogdliani obviously did not capture the subtle shades of this thread. It is all down to the chiaroscuro. Vasari will be turning in his grave. The lives of artists, I dont know Atheist, what is the World coming to. :)Quote:

Jocky,
I'm still here and feeling fine, or at least now I am after last night and thanks all for the well wishes.
The missus made up a mess of fajitas and I washed it down with a wild wurzel which turned out to be a letahl mix and sent me to the guest room for the remainder of the night.
About the Lightning; yes my father flew the P-38 in the Pacific and your are right the earlier models had a problem with compressibility in extended dives. The problem was solved with hydraulic dive flaps in starting with the "J" model and the lightning came into its own.
Gilliatt
This is a bit of shot in the dark but was your father Major Signa A Gilke who test piloted the lightening? If he was you have a lot to live up to.Quote:

Still had a lot to live up to though.
Guys, Soundsofmusic is having a raincoat party to which me and Atheist are graciously invited. I would advise you all to get in touch with her quickly and look out your best macs if you want an invite. Dont miss out on this once in a lifetime opportunity? ;)
What you dont believe in Sasquatch? Next thing you will be telling us is you dont believe in the tooth fairy. It is one thing not to believe in God or Gods but quite another to reject Area 51. This is atheism gone wild, you had better read your Richard Dawkins again. To be a strong Atheist means rejecting all Gods completely, almost, but never, I repeat never to reject the undivine supernatural. Next thing you will be telling me is the Loch Ness monster is a figment of my imagination, me who almost saw it. :mad:Quote:

Aye, I can hear the sweet voice of that governess now…”The hills are alive with the sound of Bigfoot” Bigfoot is quite popular here in Texas. There have been numerous documented sightings mostly as a result of the extreme heat and beer.
Here is a “missing link” if you will, to a site that you might find amusing:
http://www.texasbigfoot.org/
Take a look at the sitings map to the right on the page.
Gilliatt
You might have told me earlier Gilliat, now I have missed the Texas Bigfoot conference and they have missed all that experience I had to bring. I did look to the right and saw the bigfoot hunters. They make the All Blacks look handsome. You live and learn mate, live and learn:)Quote:

In fact, the site that Gilliatt links to even shows one crossing the road!

Amazing. I never knew they moved south as far as Texas. Next they'll be finding them in New Zealand.
Cyptozoology is a great subject. I'm very excited about the latest find:

I know quite a lot about "Oour Nessie" as well.
Which one would you recommend. ;)Quote:

It was a close run affair but you prevailed 24-21, let no one underestimate this historical triumph for your FEMALE NETBALL TEAM. Atheist if its any consolation, your team were better looking than the All Blacks, marginally. Well done Mick. :D :D :D.
