Had a prostate ultrasound and PSA earlier this year. Pissing like a 10 year old with a sphincter made of steel! Thanks for asking.

Oh...you mean the weather? Water everywhere mate. Just finished painting the primer on my completed Ark. Should be floating by Monday and the only animals on board will be my family.

Bleriot 110?

ANF Les Mureaux 170 is correct, your control.

Good early Sunday morning to you, Trevor.

It's been a very mild & quiet Winter here this year, so far. Only 22" of snow this season compared to about 85" last season. Very terrible and unusual rounds of tornadoes in other states of late.

Your biplane another French?

Seen the twisters on TV, very nasty!! The predicted rain has now arrived; down here in the SW, we get most of our weather off the Atlantic, usually nicely moderated by the Gulf-steam!

Not French, but the right continent

so far. Only 22" of snow this season compared to about 85" last season
We get a few inches and London Heathrow is closed for a couple of days !! Trouble is, we only get your "normal" snowfall once a decade or less, so they can't justify the cost of all the blowers. The last time we had a couple of foot down here in the SW was '77.

Getting late were you are, so I'll say sleep well for now

Weather was very nice the only time I visited over there, Dec '99. Stayed across the Bristol Channel somewhere around Bridgend and drove to work on the wrong side of the road to Port Talbot for a few weeks .

Your biplane British?

Wales eh!! I hope you had all the necessary injections!! (sorry Ken , shouldn't speak too loud though, 'coz I was born there)!


My bipe's not British (or Welsh) Edit: I see Brian's light is on, he probably won't like this one even though it's not in Aerofiles!!
