  1. Hi all. Son in law has just got his license so I might look at getting mine. Did a lesson a couple of years ago but never did any further flying so might have to rethink that option.Peter

    Many on here can relate to that Peter, if its in your heart, just do it mate.

     

     

  2. :welcome:Tim.

     

    Sounds like you have few wise friends. Don't be shy, tell us a bit about yourself.

     

    Doesn't matter to us whether you only make paper planes or fly Lear Jets, we want you to feel very welcome here.

     

    Kind Regards

  3. So sorry you seem to be missing out on the good things in life GraemeM.

     

    I love flying, but that's not all there is in life.

     

    I'll have a quiet word in the ear of Nanna in the Never Ending Story, maybe she has a solution for you.

     

     

  4. Look at what happened from 1998 until 2008. In just ten years it has grown and grown.Watch the pieces come

     

    together as they are sent up from Earth. This is the International Space Station (ISS) Assembly diagram,

     

    piece by piece.I had no idea the Space Station had grown to this size.This is really cool.....

     

    I wonder how much money has been invested to get it to this stage? That would also make ones mind boggle!

  5. Reported in the Newcastle Evening Chronicle Recently:



     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     



    Be sure and cancel your credit cards before you die! This is so priceless. And so easy to see happening - customer service, being what it is today!

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     



    A lady died this last September, and MBNA bank billed her in October and November for their annual service charges on her credit card, and then in December added late fees and interest on the monthly charge.

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     



    The balance that had been 0.00 pounds sterling, now is somewhere around - 60.00 pounds. A family member rang MBNA:

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     



    Family Member: 'I am calling to tell you that my grandmother died in September.'

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     



    MBNA: 'But the account was never closed and so the late fees and charges still apply.'

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     



    Family Member: 'Maybe, you should turn it over to your collections section.'

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     



    MBNA: Since it is two months over due, it already has been.'

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     



    Family Member: So, what will they do when they find out she is dead?'

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     



    MBNA: 'Either report her account to the Frauds Department or report her to The Credit bureau, maybe both!'

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     



    Family Member: 'Do you think God will be upset with her?'

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     



    MBNA: 'Excuse me?'

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     



    Family Member: 'Did you just get what I was telling you . . The part about her being dead?'

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     



    MBNA: 'Sir, you'll have to speak to my supervisor.'

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     



    Supervisor gets on the phone:

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     



    Family Member: 'I'm phoning to tell you, she died in September.'

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     



    MBNA: 'But the account was never closed and the late fees and charges still apply.'

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     



    Family Member: 'You mean you want to collect from her estate?'

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     



    MBNA: (Stammer) 'Are you her solicitor?'

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     



    Family Member: 'No, I'm her grandson.'

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     



    MBNA: 'Could you fax us a death certificate?'

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     



    Family Member: 'no problem.' (fax number is given) After they get the fax:

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     



    MBNA: 'Our system just isn't set up for death. I don't know what more I can do to help.'

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     



    Family Member: 'Well, if you sort it out, great! If not, you could just keep billing her. I don't think she will care.'

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     



    MBNA: 'Well, the late fees and charges will still apply.'

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     



    Family Member: Would you like her new billing address?'

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     



    MBNA: 'That would help.'

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     



    Family Member: 'Plot 1049, Heaton Cemetery, Heaton Road, Newcastle upon Tyne.'

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     



    MBNA: 'But, that's a cemetery!'

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     



    Family Member: 'Well, what the f*** do you do with dead people on your planet?'

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     



    The MBNA were not available for comment when a reporter from the Newcastle Evening Chronicle rang them!!

  6. Well done Bill, on taking the step to join our forums.

     

    Mate, you are one lucky bugger to have several projects on the go at once.

     

    Now sit down, concentrate on the most important ones, then post us with your progress.

     

    There are many on here who'd love to hear more from you, and probably can offer any assistance you might possibly need (except money)

     

    Kind Regards.

  7. That sounds logical to me me Keith.

     

    Bye the way, i'm a little confused why you have an avitar showing a Jabby and not your lovely Lightwing?

     

    Hopefully it will soon be replaced with the Terrier, with all the construction bugs you've ironed out.

     

    Take care

  8. Well done Tomo, list it in your avitar.

     

    I'm sure the new owner is grateful for it's safe delivery in very capable hands.

     

    Well done mate!

     

    I've not seen one of them before either.

     

    Did you have any aprehension before taking on the delivery flight?

  9. Check out this video clip.

     

    I reckon this would be a real hoot, but what licences would you require to do it here in Oz?

     

    Possibly a car licence to drive to the water, then a boat licence, then a seaplane licence, who knows?

     

    Maybe Turbo could knock something up out of an old Even-Rude outboard, so forum members could all have a go ?drive.gif.1181dd90fe7c8032bdf2550324f37d56.gif080_plane.gif.36548049f8f1bc4c332462aa4f981ffb.gif096_tongue_in_cheek.gif.d94cd15a1277d7bcd941bb5f4b93139c.gif

     

    Tomo's sure to want to try it, so can add it to his already impressive list in his avitar.
