I was given one of these YEARS ago - A time share mob offered a free BBQ if you sat through their sales pitch, and the free BBQ was one of these miniature webbers:)

Heres another one for you Automotive forums Woops, MoFo already linked it:)

I don't know the episode names, but the one where Henry's desk gets "traded" and the one where Henry has a disgruntled soldier trying to kill him - "boom":)

Actually, we're all called Kev, Bruce is the nom de plume we use when surfing porn:)

So YOUR the guy who subscibes to my site shanedoesshane.com :)

Hi Original Shane, This is the Shane who (if my aching joints are to be believed) probably existed before you became original:) Unfortunately I worded my reply poorly, I was attempting to agree with you and make you feel all warm and fuzzy with a validated opinion:) I tend to post during my breaks on night shift, so eloquence and context sometimes disappear between brain and fingers:) Anyhow I agree that we won't be seeing B models wearing RAAF or RAN markings, and even if it was going to happen, I couldn't see what use the token force we could muster would be in any sort of conflict.

Hi Shane, I'm Shane, We never really had any plans for buying the B model, our new ships would require more than a refit to accommodate them, the 28 extra airframes would always be A models (personally I would have liked us to consider the C, but that's just a Mugs view:))

To a fisherman like me, it's never just a fish. The hard part is how else do we study them without catching and tagging them?
-
I was the same - it totally nullifies the beautiful noise of the aircraft too.

I hope catch and release is moral, I do a hell of a lot of it. I've been tagging fish since the late 80's, and the only time I've re-caught a fish I've tagged has been within 10 minutes of putting the stupid bugger back in the water! I have had a few others re captured, and it's a bit of a thrill to be notified of the details of a fish (growth, location) years after I've sent them on their way:) I still fish for food, but I find myself putting more fish back than I keep, my favorite eating fish has upper and lower size and bag limits, so I'm very careful about what I keep.

My background - I grew up as a Graziers son, so for me killing animals is work, not pleasure. I currently hunt feral animals on my family property, and help out friends when they have need to destroy pests. I'll dress the odd pig, goat or a few rabbits for dog food, and the occasional deer (only a problem at one friends property), but most of the cats, pigs, goats and dogs I shoot end up as fertiliser. I've fished all my life, for food and sport, from chasing small (but legal) fish, to catching an estimated 300Kg Black Marlin. I have no problem with people hunting, as long as it's done sensib

OK, fair warning, I'm not a cat lover, and I have a sick sense of humor.... I had a vision of a cat gaffa taped to each wing, screaming Stuka style as the ultralight dove on the airfield, and now I can't get it out of my head!

I've been using the TM Warthog setup for Falcon 4 for a few years, and it's fantastic, but I recently picked up the Saitek X-55 to take with me when I'm travelling, and I'm starting to think I like it better! Hopefully it lasts for a while - my GA setup is all Saitek and it's doing well (took a hell of a lot of mucking around to get it to work with X Plane) but you can tell the difference between Saitek and TM build quality.

I wouldn't call anything that can be flown from a keyboard a flight sim:)
