Thanks RD, but we need KBPsen to confirm it's the Ariete, at which point it will be Open House.

Incidentally nice to see some new names on the thread...welcome to buttrick and KBPsen

Situation Report for page 1186.

01 April 2106 - KBPsa posted challenge

02 April 0116 - correctly identified by buttrick, who requested OH if correct.

1049 - slytrain puts the thread back on correct track

1320 - nothing heard from KBPsa 12 hours after correct identification of challenge - thread stalled despite RDs' enthusiastic attempt to get it moving

1322 - Lightning Mate suggest the thread now goes Open House.

Afternoon LM....can't disagree with your summary, but as KBPsen is new to the thread I would suggest we maintain the original 12 hour rule, so OH would automatically kick in at 1416 UK local / 1316 UTC. Agree?

Artnoon mate.

I have not used time zones in my post, just Prune time.

Everything is relative and I compute twelve hours has passed.

....and something I have always mused about....

Despite peoples' desire to remain totally anonymous, I think it would be extremely useful if they would at least give their country of location in order for us to accurately compute local time differences.

As an ex-military person I can assure you that this is why we always used GMT (Zulu time) anywhere in the world.

KBPsen gives his location as "worldwide". He must therefore travel a lot.

At least we know where buttrick is - the poor sod!!

Not sure how you come up with that...Buttrick posted at 0216 according to PPRuNe and time now is 1339 according to PPRuNe.
Perhaps I should do a Graeme and open anuvver bottle.....

30 minutes to go then.....

Good afternoon / evening buttrick.

Perhaps skytrain and RegDep might agree with me that the OH is yours in 14 minutes time.

so OH would automatically kick in at 1416 UK local / 1316 UTC. Agree?
Yes, totally.....

Well I left a little time in case buttrick wanted to post (as he got the Ariete), but as all quiet, here we go:

However, that would have been a bad idea since I unexpectedly have to leave.............bye bye.

Oops! Dozed off on the sofa. What has happened? Ach. Life on the thread. Gut.

Hope the new guys come back. They are good and very welcome. So, let's see…..

Edit to say that I looked at something like that a couple of days ago and planned a post. Looks like a nice plane for a pick-nick. A lunch table in the tail….

Ken,

Out of interest, over the last hour my Rolex has held constant time and the Prune clock has gone up and down by an hour like a prostitutes underwear.......................!!!!!!!!!

Whilst I buy German cars, I will only accept Swiss mechanical watches, so piss off!

Is the engine fitted to the challenge a Le Blonde or Scarab?

so piss off
My beach-rolex ceased functioning 1992 and I have not had a watch since. Nowadays use a Nokia phone that takes the time from T-Com net.

Have a German car, though……

Edit: Not true. Me Missus has, a turbo-charged one. I don't have any car.
