Shame there probably won't be any Russian stuff coming in cos of the Olympics....now for THAT i might even be tempted to put some sticking plaster on the bridge of my specs and pay a visit to Myrtle Avenue myself!!

Ilesmark if you knew what you were talking about, you'd know many would be armed with enough camera equipment to break more than your glasses. Leave the stupid and juvenile stereotype at home please.

I see some people can't take a joke.....

If plane-spotting was a hobby I had that much of a problem with I wouldn't have posted an article drawing people's attention to it.

I don't have any problem with Ilesmarks comment, it's just a humorous comment that most plane spotters wouldn't have an issue with! Nothing to be ashamed of, it's a great hobby even though it does tend to get a bit of a ribbing from one's mates!

Great article by the way, Myrtle is a great place when I'm down there, always end up chatting to somebody new!
