Yeah, looks like he's doing a Toe-In - I hope he's not trying to rescue children!

I reckon that pilot must be from Norfolk - they drive too close here as well!

Cheers

I've been perilously close a number of times - and scary it is too! Even more so when it's foggy and the idiot behind is a driving instructor! On rural country roads, the last thing you want is some old fart right up yer chuff!

That IS what you're talking about isn't it?

Cheers

Whirls.

I didn't mean anything nasty, I was just trying to sound funny.

The next thing I was going to post was somewhere along the lines of: no bum sniffing allowed (referring to cats and dogs) hoping for some other funny bits from you people.

About the old farts, well we have a lot of them here in Ice!

Paco

Great picture!

Heli-Ice,

I think you know me better than that! I need a smiley for "tongue in cheek"! Something lost in translation eh?

Cheers

No no no...

The RAF is getting so short of bases that it is now parking its fighters in the back of its C-130s....

Probably that local bitter. Just let 'em out, dear. Better out than in , as they say.

Now where's a hand full of marbles or some sandwich wrappers when you need them. I can see an upraised pair of digits and a underhanded toss of said marbles or oily papers into that intake....

That would be very first time a loadie downed a fighter jet!
