The Welsh version of the Abacus was slow to operate due to sadly lacking ram.

Do you know "Men of Harlech"?

Well I can sing you a few Baahs.

(When the cows did it, it sounded like Mooed Music).

The black sheep just couldn’t stop singing about Baa-bers, to the annoyance of the other three.

Judging time!

Plenty of "meat on the bones" of this one! I almost had to declare a "joint" win because SATCOs Whipping Boy really tickled my "ribs" with his cleverly done:

"Prototype image of the crew layout in the new Lambcaster Bomber. Seen with Ewe N'Mcgreggor at the controls."
But Danny42C just wins it by a "neck" with:

"Break left, Skip - Collie coming in on port quarter!"
"Well done!"

Please do your worst, Danny!

Well played all! Especially those that couldn't see it...

Say...as a collective, should we be asking the Mods to Sticky the Cap Comp? It's the most read & replied thread on the Mil Forum so.... what do others think?

Shy Torque,

Thanks a million! - but poor Danny can't do anything, never mind his worst! What has happened to PPRuNe? The format has completely changed. Or am I having a nightmare? Or has my gremlin taken over control of my laptop/ Or is it just me?

Please, SATCO's Whipping Boy, take over from me and do what you can with this (your Caption was wittier than mine, anyhow).

YOU HAVE CONTROL - Danny.

Shades of the TSB debacle. Take 3 times as long to load, that's when it does not say "Pprune is not responding". Grrrr. really spoiling my usual enjoyment of the site.

And it just lost my post. To repeat, probably upgraded by the people who did the TSB. Takes 3 times as long to load, that is when it does not freeze or say "Pprune is not res" and invite yo to reload the page. Grrr, really spoiling my enjoyment of this site.


And now it has found the first one and there is a little black arrow wheel going round, and round and round......... and round.......

If it isn't broken do not fix it, nearly half the page on my iPad is taken up with adverts, boy does this suck.

well done Danny, a winner by a clear sheeps head.

The propulsion system on the maritime version of the Thai fighter didn't have the legs of the galactic version.
