Ouch - That's not supposed to happen!
 
At last I've found a less tenuous link between military aviation and Webers (well BBQs anyway)!

From today's Telegraph:


A man burned his arm when lightning struck a fork he was using to prod sausages on a barbecue. Eric Brocklebank, 64, spent two days in hospital after he was caught in an electrical storm at an air display at RAF Digby, Lincs.....

I was told the only thing I could say as I drifted in and out of consciousness was 'sausages'....

Kluge, old chap, I feel somewhat let down (in you), in that I thought that you, at least, had some semblance of honour. Portraying me as the equivalent of Piltdown Man, out of something like Lord of the Rings, is a little below the belt; but amusing nonetheless. Desperation, I suppose, as the reality of your shoddy compromise sinks in. I imagine that in the 50's you would have bought an Edsel Ford and parroted its virtues regardless of the evidence to the contrary.

Never fear, CathyH, there'll be an Air Engineer along to look after you very soon.........

Tried getting some cider (ooh-aah) 'tother day to go with some barbi'd porker. But my favourite tipple is now made by a company called Gaymer...:eek: The ba$tards have changed the recipe and made it sweeter to appeal to Gas fags and London luvvies....:yuk:

So, next quest is to get hold of some 'Natch'. Used to be called Taunton Natural Dry, but Fagmer have taken over Taunton Cider and now market it as 'Natch' - but at least they haven't dared to change it! Proper job it be, nipper! But where can it be found outside Zum'zett......??

Howabout - certainly not intended to be you personally. Although I can see in hindsight how you might think that. There are other nGUs who post on here of course. The images were to visually represent the 40% minority of nGU consumers deduced mathematically as the set 'primitive-man'.


Nevertheless, as a gentleman GU I proffer my apologies for any hurt that this may have caused and will remove the post should you so wish. :)



Now then - Ford Edsels. If you had at least mentioned the Leyland P76 then you could have had the semblance of a thread link. The car designed to hold a 44 gallon drum, which if cut in half (oil drum or the car = same same but different) resembles Gainsey's Beast - Bamby roaster of the gods (see much earlier pic) or SRT's yarpie 'preversions.'*

Kluge, old chap, no offence taken. Nothing on this thread is ever taken as being offensive. It's meant to be fun. Your particular, as I regard all posts, was taken as good natured banter; nothing else. :ok:

The P76 - now there was a real dog.

Back in the land of boerewors and Blue Bull steaks. Maders will have their stocks savagely assaulted this lunch time to make up for ten weeks of bloody dreary Frog cuisine. Having a tin of curry powder in the same building as a stew being made does not qualifiy said stew as a curry, thus the French can never be considered even remotely civilised. They probably use The Devil's Effluence as well.......:suspect:





Although they did beat the All Blacks - How the hell did that happen...?:confused:

Howabout 19th Jun 2009 12:20

SRT, I must really get some of these boerewors, somewhere.

To keep relavance to a site that is aviation specific, the Springbocks will come here at some stage, which means they have to fly (relevance) so I'd like to have a braais to celebrate when we kick ass and take names.

I get to Sydney ocassionaly. Are there any Yarpie butchers in that area that do the goods?

I can't think of anything better that chewing into a Seth African sausage as George Smith sinks his shoulder into Percy's guts.

Solid Rust Twotter 19th Jun 2009 12:59

Speak to George about stepping on Pissy's bouncing curls while he's about it and one may consider sending a CARE package your way. Should be a couple of Saffer butchers in they parts. We wither and croak without our meat to sustain us. If you have Kiwi mates there are plenty of Saffer butchers in NZ too.

Jed on ARC RUGBY refers to Saffers as the Ugly Meat Eaters so that must tell you something. Brilliant rugger commentary BTW. Pity he only does All Black games but you can't have it all I guess.:ok:

Gentlemen please. Far too much detail. Get a room. :yuk::yuk::yuk::=:=

Words fail me. :suspect::hmm::hmm:


and even BEagle seems to be confused: :confused:

More gloves needed Vicar !

BEagle 19th Jun 2009 15:34

Confused? Moi??

I did write 'Natch' and hadn't left off the 's'. I mean the sort you put to your mouth! Delicious amber nectar of Zum'zett!

Tenuous aviation link - needed a good excuse to have a decent drive to check the car's supercharger intercooler pump, so drove down to the excellent RNAS Merryfield Open Evening last week. Whilst down in the land of Scrumpy and Western, tried to find Taunton Natural Dry and failed - found out later why on 't Interweb.

kluge 19th Jun 2009 15:51

.......well not too sure old chap.

There's always lots of pink in your posts normally.......

and all this malarky about improving output efficiency and the like..yessss...:hmm:

.... all sounds like too much Botha to me.

Trumpet_trousers 19th Jun 2009 16:06

Beagle, have you tried these people? They're from Zummerzet..
Thatchers: Home

BEagle 19th Jun 2009 16:28

Yaarp.

But 'tain't Natch!

Heard any more rumours about your aeroplane yet?

Trumpet_trousers 19th Jun 2009 16:33


But 'tain't Natch!
so it's not like we're comparing apples with apples then? ;)
Re: 'plane - no!

kluge 19th Jun 2009 16:52

thatchers cider company

Maggie's juice.

.....well at least you're talking about the right sex :rolleyes:

Howabout 22nd Jun 2009 11:07

Just to annoy the haters of this thread.

While the God of bbq's was creating non-GAS bliss on the weekend (haven't done a pork joint for ages), we watched the Wallabies cane the Italians. There's aviation relevance here because the Italians had to fly in.

Next weekend, we're up against the French, who also provide relevance because, they too, must fly in. The French will be a different (harder) proposition, but the Wallabies will prevail and the beloved Orb will be working overtime.

So, for SRT, we are just warming up. I can't wait for the next clash with the world's second-best rugby team.

BEagle 22nd Jun 2009 12:18

I went to Wellesbourne Mountford yesterday to watch the simultaneous appearance of Avro Vulcans XM655 (taxying) and XH558 (short display). 8 x Olympussies roaring together - :ok:

Whilst walking back to the car past the fast food stands, I noticed barbi'd bratwurst being sold. Properly barbi'd, that is - using the One True Fuel and most certainly not the fuel of Satan's bottom!

John Eacott 22nd Jun 2009 12:40

BEagle,

Was the barbie from these guys :eek:

Munich last year, their 850th Anniversary :ok:

BEagle 22nd Jun 2009 12:56

It could well have been that Schnelli' operator, John - the barbi' looked pretty much like that one in your photo.

That suspicious looking canister and rubber tube in the bottom right of your second picture is, one assumes, a fire lighting device....??
