A well reasoned and logical piece. Sadly that means it has no chance of affecting govt policy

I read somewhere that the bombardier's were under orders to destroy the bomb sight at all costs if the plane was brought down. Even to the point of riding the doomed craft down if required.

Sobering thought

Congratulations ;-)

I've been in an advertising campaign for a well known high street chemist.

I was volunteering on HMS Plymouth when she stayed in Glasgow (about 1990 to 91).

That's all I'm admiting to just now...

My ferret is called "Ferretus Metallica" because it's a ferret and well, it's made of metal...

Just wanted to say congrats to you all.

Sounds like a plan :-D

I know I have bought bits for my ferret from suppliers who don't advertise at all, it's a case of "So and so might have that bit. Call him on xxxxx)

I imagine that permission from each supplier would need to get granted before puting their names up?

Congratulations!

:-D

Signed both

I've been in an TV advert for a high street chemist,

Been to a couple of premieres and chased a soap star for trespassing.

I used to be a shipkeeper on a certain privately owned ex royal navy frigate.

Each night i would do my rounds on the upper decks and at a certain time each night I would hear what sounded like water tight hatches being closed and dogged.

The sounds would run from the bow to the flight deck, getting louder as they moved to the stern.

Thing is. I was the only person on board and when I would open the ship up in the morning all the hatches would be latched open....

I spoke privately with the other shipkeepers and they all admitted to hearing the same thing.

None of use ever ventured below decks at night and we were under strict instructions never to mention it to the public.

Signed it.

It makes my blood boil to see this government hellbent on turning us into a laughing stock as quickly as it can

:banghead:

Am I seeing things or is there a fish van in one of those pics?

Mental issues?

I want to get my ferret up and running - would be nice to have a shed to put it in as well!

Very nice work and i wish you all the best in your future endeavours.

:-D

I thought I was finally losing my marbles!

:eek:

It is sort of fun though :-D

I remember being at secondary school near Glasgow when the shuttle flew overhead.

We were in techie and the teachers kept looking at their watches (everyone know what was going to happen)

At the appointed time, we all filed out to the playgrounds and a hush settled over the crowd. Really quite eerie.

At first I couldn't hear anything and then in the distance I could hear a low roaring sound. Slowly it got louder until suddenly the 747 with Enterprise thundered overhead and vanished over the school roof.

It seemed almost close enough to touch.

I was eleven and I can still remember looking up into the grey sky and seeing that shuttle gleaming in the weak light.

Ouch!

Looks like it's come from one of the "Pimp My ride" shows.

:?

Hi

Just wanted to mention that the drawing of your ferret is still on ebay as "one that served in the Gulf War"

;-)

Hi.

I just want to introduce myself. I'm Paul and I'm now the owner of Ferret 00 EC 13 up in here in Glasgow.

I must admit, I'm still new to this stuff and no doubt will be asking a load of "newbie" questions (Although I'll try to keep them fairly sensible!)

1st Silly question. Is there anyone else in the West of Scotland on this board or am I all alone up here? :shocking:
