  3. Like a good wine, I am improving with age.... In my youth I could have been likened to a beer, fizzy, cool, and easy to glug. Now I (like a wine) have a fuller body, more subtle qualities, go great with just about any meal, and definitely need to be savoured slowly, by someone with discerning taste ..... -------------------- He who receives an idea from me, receives instruction himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his taper at mine, receives light without darkening me.

  5. "Now I wonder, will the slider hit my head on its way down, or will the slinks stop it?" I've put about 700 jumps on soft links, both PD and PdF designs, and never had a problem with my slider hitting my head, canopies were Monarch, sabres, stilletto, and spectre. Monarch used to slam me regularly. My old rapide links now keep all my keys together. -------------------- He who receives an idea from me, receives instruction himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his taper at mine, receives light without darkening me.

  13. "Watching a new Mom express breastmilk with a double pneumatic pump = weird. Right NacMac?" Right on! Still hypnotised by the way the nipple sort of gets sucked into the thing (its made from clear plastic so you can get a real close up view), and watching it 'skoosh'...... I'm in Scotland, I have a kilt, anyone wanna see snaps? Do ya huh? My neighbour plays the bagpipes, thankfully he practices in the hours of daylight. It was nice to hear the lilting drone the other day when I was out walking the dog, and the bairn....The only surreal thing was the tune he was playing...can you believe 'Nights in White Satin'? -------------------- He who receives an idea from me, receives instruction himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his taper at mine, receives light without darkening me.

  22. Okay Bill, all joking aside, I'm quite interested in this cam....I'm assuming its not a PC9 in a D-box gaffa taped to the side of the hull, and operated by a cam eye on the pilot's console. Picture the scene... Mission control - 3-2-1 lift off, space shuttle Atlantis you are clear for lift off, Atlantis, I said lift off....Like now! Pilot- Is the red light on the camera on? No? huh? wtf? I knew I should have charged that battery...dayumm! ...So what is involved in building a cam that can withstand all that vibration, and those temperature extremes.....

  24. Lots of good talk here some very valid points, but I still haven't heard a good or valid reason to send many good, loyal, and brave, young men and women to their death in a far off land. And make no mistake folks, that is what we are talking about here. This will not be like Desert Storm, people defending their homeland against an invasion force are far more likely to fight a long and bloody campaign, than if they are defending captured territory. I'd hate to see Baghdad become another Stalingrad. Once they are successfully overwhelmed, I have a horrible feeling that a thousand martyrs will spring up and embark on a series of horrific terror attacks on US/alliance citizens. We will then be faced with the worst possible outcome, an invisible enemy, already within our borders. Do we really want to be scared to go to the mall in case some fanatic has placed a pipe bomb in car in the lot? Or nail bombing memorial services, hitting what terrorists like to call legitimate targets? I don't think so, but that is what terrorism entails. There has to be another way, how difficult would it be to tighten sanctions on a country whose principle export is oil, via a relatively small water way? Can we at least give the weapons inspectors and the UN a chance to do their jobs first.... You simply can't invade a country because it poses a threat, otherwise, the UK, France, Russia, India, Pakistan, and the US would be at each other's throats and we would descend into the expensive mistrust of the cold war era. Now then, don't get me wrong, Saddam is an evil piece of shit, no arguments there. I am just not convinced that an invasion is the right way to do things, neither do we have a valid reason to invade Iraq. When I say we, I mean the US, and the UK, as we seem to be just as involved as our colonial cousins are. Its just that we in the UK have a little more experience in living with terrorism, and it ain't pretty.
