The India pictures are a funny lot because, Barry was asked not to take any aerial pics of India for security reasons! Sounds weird, but that's what I was told.
Surely its not that any 'baddies' would visit the GE website because they don't have access to maps now is it? Is it?
However, I'm sure anyone could think of some better pics than that or just not post them. A pic of the a/c in the hangar would have been nice, but of course would then leave Barry wide open to scrutiny.
What on Earth is that picture of the radio on the window sill all about???
In fact as Gobbie mentions, what is the relevance of any of them?
One even looks as if Barry has taken a picture of his/someones bum in the bath! (so I've been told!)
It all stinks and I'm not just referring to my last paragraph.
Looks like there are more twists in this than in a rastafarian barbers shop. (If they were to get their hair cut that is!)

For anyone involved with GE, there are some messages on your message board that require replies.
Or was the purpose of the message board for someone to leave a message and you'll get back to them, eventually, not letting anyone else know the information?
Then again, I suppose it's all over now.
Just an observation!
Any date for Barry and the a/c to get back home?

Mrs SS has just returned from yet another shopping mission in York and tells me that she bumped into the famously entertaining globe trotting person.
Could it possibly be ? I asked myself.
So soon ?
After all it's only just finished hasn't it ?
It was, you know, she'd bumped into none other than.........

.......the marvelous Michael Palin, signing his 'Himalaya' book in Waterstones!
Perhaps he'll be able to pass on a few tips!!

so if the people in Italy want to fix your machine for free then why not let them
Apparently rumour has it a pilot with some dust on his shoes was seen going into a plastic surgeons office in an effort to evade the awaiting questions...anyone have any knowledge
But of course if that fails just do this Barry seems you have had plenty of practise with the crap you have poured out to all your supporters

Just got back from the One Eyed Rat in Ripon where the rumours are rife!
I asked the landlord why it was so called, to which he replied;
"In the land of the blind mice, the one eyed rat is king."
Must have been all the Baileys and creme de menthe he was drinking! Good job I started off in the legion, what with ratties prices!!
Anyway, I digress,
The latest from the bar stool seems to focus on the financial side of GE.
Many questions are being asked; how much, where, who, account name.
Due to the nature of the conversations, I'd rather leave it up to those in the know to pass on what is what, in that department.
The main upholding feature of the conspiracy theory over GE, is the lack of any photographs or video that could shut the conspirators up, concerning the damage to the a/c.
(At least the alligators around the outer rimiter are not involved ! )
But perhaps even if there were any photos GE style, we'd end up doing a critique much like the moon landing pics.

Come back at me!
come on fellahs,wot you doing all day?cant belive you cant find five minutes to read this thread and come back at me/us.i assume you think if you go on ignoring it then it will go away,perhaps if it gets flooded under"a meter of water" then SS,volrider,wgs and myself will go away and it will all be over!yeah right!that did not work the last time.Reckon no even mulder and scully will get the truth out of you,fear not,the truth is out there and its relentless persuit is my aim.Just going to make some stuff up till you tell it how it realy is. Is it true you were exiled from india for using your machine to smuggle dope?,sombody said it was seen in delhi with a big lump of dope in it!!(the dope was flying at the time!)
Does anybody have any suggestions for some music to put onto a CD for Global Ego?
Started with Looser by Beck and then got to I belive i can fly by R Kelly and then got stuck on who sang"I talk sh**e all day", who had a hit with that?
Please send in any more thoughts and we can do a CD and donate the profits to charity to make up for what they did not get from Gulible Ego!

After initially reading MLs post, I was going to reply asking folk to stick to reasonable rumour/conjecture on this thread, as we don't need to be thrown off pprune for what could be considered libellous posts.
However after re-reading MLs post a few times, I was reminded of the problems Ryanair had when it started off, and the run ins they encountered with the authorities over alleged dope smuggling, until the joke was realised.
It seems throughout this thread that conjecture has eventually led to the truth and the feeling is that a lot of what is being said here is closer to the real goings on than we can imagine.
Song titles;
Everything I do, I do for me!
The greatest pitch and roll swindle!

Re song titles for s "welcome home(again) CD"
will it be a duet with Paula Radcliffe? called "Don't Give Up" although Kate Bush was far prettier
I wonder if Barry the intrepid fliar has read any of this or his he hiding under a stone somewhere waiting for the Vultures to get bored and bugger off
Ummm me thinks the more he hides the darker the sky gets with Vultures!

Methinks an accusation or suggestion could only be deemed libellous if found to be untrue. However, best to tread carefully perhaps until someone in the know has the courtesy to satisfy our curiosity.

Am I the only American that doesn't get this? I don't want to generalize or sterotype American's as ignorant, but I'm a bit lost here (perhaps it is just me). You folks seem OVERLY critical of the attempt Barry gave. Perhaps it wasn't the best effort, but the arm-chair pot shots seem to have more venom, lately. Churchill failed at many things before he became a success, and that made him a GREAT man and an inspiration to the world. I wonder if the next person who attempts an autogyro flight around the world will expect the same poisonous treatment in the event of failure that you've given Barry here.

I suspect Silsoesid, Volrider, Missing Lynx and Gobbie are all one and the same person judging from the very similar tone and nature of the posts.
You're clearly a very bitter man Silsoesid.

Gravanom;
As I have posted recently, I can assure you that I only have the one user name, for the reasons stated earlier.
RD;
I'm sorry this isn't really an international thread. This is due to the inherant nature of the British always wanting to back a loser. Because I doubted the success of GE on the first post, I was inviting the comments from all of those who like to mis-place their support and not face reality.
The perfect example I can give, is the never ending optimism of the British public wanting to believe Tim Henman can win Wimbledon.
The venom injected into this thread, is like most things in modern life, the realisation that the wool has been pulled over many eyes and the reality does not become clear until after the event is over. (Look at the uproar beginning in 'middle England' at the moment over Iraq.)
As long as the next attempt is not run in a dubious fashion, then of course they, (whoever 'they' may be), will will be treated with the respect deserved. In fact, I'm sure if those that have commented on here don't know 'them', then any thread on the further attempt may possibly get very little coverage.
You must admit that this thread has also been very informative while Barry was travelling along the route. Regular updates and information on the various weather conditions and local history/facilities.
What has been missed by those making the derogatry remarks about this thread, is the fact that a lot of comments here have been made by people who know the goings on of the GE attempt better than I.
Any current or ex-military viewers, I think, will understand the 'humour' posted on this thread and as I said earlier, I'm sorry that it can't be a bit more Internationally understood.
Thank you for your contribution to the thread.

Chill out
Think its time our American cousins chill out a little, checkout irony and sarcasm in the dictionary, it is a national institution here and the right to use it is one of the perks of living in dear old blighty.Please forgive it but we have to say somthing in the absence of any input from GE here in this forum. Guess they would just shut it down much the same as the message board on their web site. So thats it then-now they have shut their message board down there will be no further comment from the team or any questions answered,why?. Suppose i will just have to make up somthing else,false but funny in the face of no further comment from them.Tried to bet on Bj and Paula being xmas no 1 with "dont give up", william hill had never heard of it but offered 1000000 to 1, which is probably better odds than he had of achiving anything else!
any fool can judge by the amount of people that have read and commented on this thread that somthing is brining them back time and time again.Not to put to fine a point on it,it is the pin sharp humor and graphic ability that silsoe sid and volrider have demonstrated. Nobody could read and view their work and not be entertained!,genius.I am in awe of their work and long may it continue. You cant rub on a raw nerve without it having reason to be raw,any thoughts?

Thank you for your PM Barry date/time stamped 22 Oct 2004 13:10, (all 4 pages worth when printed out.)
I will respect your wishes to keep it private and will not post it on this open forum.
However, how can you not expect anyone to feel that something is going on, when you are being told what you can and cannot say publicly?
As previous posts have highlighted, there's a smell of male bovine excrement going around. In the most extreme a coverup of some description!
SS.
p.s. I notice the GE website is winding down. Can I take it Barry is back in the UK?

RDRickster :
Answer just like this project it would get full support I am sure from all, however if things transpire witha similar outcome then democracy requests answers should be given to questions asked.
Think your Mr Lincoln would have agreed with that

Sadly your further away from the truth than a Prime Minister at question time.

The fact that 99% of the comments on this thread come from a handful of dissenters intent on driving this thread to infinity and beyond speaks volumes about its ethical standing.
I can't fathom out why you lot are hounding this guy to his grave:
Is it personal - is he such a disagreeable person (in real life) that he (in your eyes) deserves such vitreolic responses?
Or is it to massage your own egos, to be constantly the centre of attention, to see your rantings in public print?
This thread has clearly lost its' reason for being. It is courting the ridiculous. No one else comments because it is a pitiful thread worthy of ocassional viewings just to see the latest pathetic comments you have heaped on this person.
If this thread was enacted in real life, person to person, people would be ashamed to know you......... [Bullying doesn't always take the physical form]
Why haven't you targetted other failed causes world wide, I wonder. Why is it so personal?
Can we all move on now, get yourselves lives, guys. Get back to more challenging aspects of your life like - what's for tea, or when your next ablution might happen - because there is loads of it going on here.
I can't believe the moderator hasn't pulled this - total cr*p

TC Thank you for your stunning reply as always we wait with baited breath for your next set of elequent words. Oh I see that you now do not like this post anymore and so beacuse you state it should cease then so be it! I guess you got top marks in your CRM class.
Thank you for popping in it is appreciated , you see unlike your little outburst the majority here ARE INTERESTED in what GE has done and are saying. I wont defend mine or others actions as this is not a witch hunt but a gathering of persons looking for the truth.or is that outlawed in Wales
