Well that fact that you know him makes you a geek by association.
Look, he's a navigator. Someone's got to talk to him.;)

No they don't. All he needs is someone to listen to him.

Bit like driving a car. You are the 'pilot' and bitching betty in the GPS is the nav. No point in talking to her, she won't be listening. Like an aircraft you could eject her though.

Yellow Sun,

Just because something is is the public domain does not exempt you from the OSA.

Apparently my PC is somewhere near Skipton in Yorkshire.....wonder what this is sat next to me here in Cornwall then ??

Sounds like my PC is off on the moors N of Skipton with yours, VV. Odd, since one very like it is here with me just 3 m SW of Benson.

According to that website I am located in "Blackburn West Lothian United Kingdom" and the map has an arrow pointing to Edinburgh.

And I am apparently in the centre of Kansas, although I haven't been within 1000miles of there for some years.

beardy 18th November 2007 15:47

These all sound like USAF target co-ordinates. Just glad I'm not where they think I am.

Maple 01 18th November 2007 16:29

Hmmm, just north of Leeds, well up to RAFP standards.....

ZH875 18th November 2007 17:21

I also drew the unlucky straw, and am sitting next to VVHA just outside Skipton.


Could be worse, it could have put me in Lancashire.:p

Pontius Navigator 18th November 2007 18:39

Given that the accuracy is within 25 miles it is interesting to note that many of us, like ZH875, are all within 15 miles of an RAF station.

So which pub shall we meet in this evening. Like everyone else, my house has been magicked up to Skipton.

Yellow Sun 18th November 2007 18:53

That web site got me sussed out in seconds and it was fairly accurate, to the nearest large town.
Most of the discussion is history now, just glad i dont have to go through those yearly checks anymore.

cornish-stormrider 19th November 2007 10:47

Aberdeen, yeah ok. Check my name plate.......

Gainesy 19th November 2007 12:32

Hmm, Wichita. Mrs G is going to be pissed off, as I'm to collect her from Gatwick this evening.

The Helpful Stacker 19th November 2007 13:10

Apparently I'm located just north of Skipton too.:confused:

Wader2 19th November 2007 13:20

Even scarier, my address is in Bradford. If you knew where I really was :}
