NEW YORK: A British firm has launched a 110% proof beer, which is the world's strongest, selling it at $762 per bottle. The blond Belgian ale, named The End of History, is an astonishing 55 percent alcohol by volume (ABV) and is presented in a case made from stuffed animals, including stoats and squirrels. The beer, made by BrewDog, based in Scotland, is infused with fresh juniper berries and nettles from the Scottish Highlands and was developed using an extreme freezing technique. The process involved using hundreds of pints of beer, and it was repeated dozens of times to produce just enough for a 330 millilitre bottle. "This is the beer to end all beers," the New York Post quoted James Watt, the company's co-founder, as saying. Watt said The End of History was made to offer beer drinkers more choice. "We want to show people there is an alternative to monolithic corporate beers, introduce them to a completely new approach to beer and elevate the status of beer in our culture," he added. He said the first two bottles were sold to a beer fan in Denmark.

Hiya Skippy..thanks for your quick reply. Yes, that's what I thought!...but the aircraft I am trying to get working on, is an Abacus addon..and it appears to be saved in .BMP format. Good call on DXTbmp..I forgot about that...will have a bash Many Thanks m8 ps...just had a look at your website...holy Cow...some beautiful skins on there...absolutely wonderful!

Thanks Olham m8...I'll get that

Hi all Does anyone know how to skin in FSX using Photoshop? I have tried converting the .BMP textures to .DDS using DDS Converter2 (and also have the Nvidia DDS plugin.....but it doesnt seem to open the texture files at all) Works great for OFF etc any advice most welcome

Great Pics Lou..Looks a great place!...I wish I could persuade the Wife to visit the USA...I keep working on her..and pics like this help

I like the look of the Tracers...I'm too cowardly to use the no-smoke/Tracer mods...my kills are not good at the moment Great work guys!!

Hi Guys Anyone know where the aircraft engine sound files are stored? (they are aliased to the individual aircraft) I have searched the Sound Folder...but cant seem to find reference to them Thanks

I regularly get death threats from the Nazis on the BNP pages on Facebook...it's always amusing reading their "i guna DIS U AND SMK YOUS HEED IN" Ignorant f***ards

ADVICE FROM A RETIRED HUSBAND It is important for men to remember that, as women grow older, it becomes harder for them to maintain the same quality of housekeeping as when they were younger. When you notice this, try not to yell at them. Some are oversensitive, and there's nothing worse than an oversensitive woman. My name is Ron. Let me relate how I handled the situation with my wife, Carol Anne. When I retired a few years ago, it became necessary for Carol Anne to get a full-time job, along with her part-time job, both for extra income and for the health benefits that we needed. Shortly after she started working, I noticed she was beginning to show her age. I usually get home from the golf club about the same time she gets home from work. Although she knows how hungry I am, she almost always says she has to rest for half an hour or so before she starts dinner. I don't yell at her. Instead, I tell her to take her time and just wake me when she gets dinner on the table. I generally have lunch in the Men's Grill at the club, so eating out is not reasonable. I'm ready for some home-cooked grub when I hit that door. She used to do the dishes as soon as we finished eating. But now it's not unusual for them to sit on the table for several hours after dinner. I do what I can by diplomatically reminding her several times each evening that they won't clean themselves. I know she really appreciates this, as it does seem to motivate her to get them done before she goes to bed. Another symptom of aging is complaining, I think.For example, she will say that it is difficult for her to find time to pay the monthly bills during her lunch hour.. But, Boys, we take 'em for better or worse, so I just smile and offer encouragement. I tell her to stretch it out over two, or even three days. That way, she won't have to rush so much. I also remind her that missing lunch completely now and then wouldn't hurt her any (if you know what I mean). I like to think tact is one of my strong points. When doing simple jobs, she seems to think she needs more rest periods. She had to take a break when she was only half-finished mowing the yard. I try not to make a scene. I'm a fair man. I tell her to fix herself a nice, big, cold glass of freshly squeezed lemonade and just sit for a while. And, as long as she is making one for herself, she may as well make one for me, too. I know that I probably look like a saint in the way I support Carol Anne. I'm not saying that showing this much consideration is easy. Many men will find it difficult. Some will find it impossible! Nobody knows better than I do how frustrating women get as they get older. However, Guys, even if you just use a little more tact and less criticism of your aging wife because of this article, I will consider that writing it was well worthwhile. After all, we are put on this earth to help each other. EDITOR'S NOTE: Ron died suddenly on January 31 of a perforated rectum. The police report says he was found with a Calloway extra-long 50-inch Big Bertha Driver II golf club jammed up his rear end, with barely 5 inches of grip showing, and a sledge hammer laying nearby. His wife Carol Anne was arrested and charged with murder. The all-woman jury took only 10 minutes to find her Not Guilty, accepting her defence that Ron, somehow without looking, accidentally sat down on his golf club.

Something a bit in-between the pyrotechnic explosions as aircraft hit the ground...and the small puff of smoke we now have, would be nice too

....After a struggle in the cockpit, I managed to get the enraged lunatic removed and subdued. She claimed to be the pilot

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-10682693 That's GOTTA hurt!!!

I can see exactly where you're coming from Flypc. In fact, putting my 'cynical' head on for one minute, I wonder if this was to keep the War Graves Commission in a Job? By WW2,most fallen soldiers were logged, and their place of death recorded...but WW1 soldiers had no such sentiments from the Military. As you rightly point out...the families of these men, are into the fourth or Fifth generation...most probably have no idea, and even less interest in the events of nearly 100 years ago.

Yes, It was good...glad that some of the relatives got closure. The lady at the end echoed my thoughts exactly..Just "Why?" I can see a reason for WW2, and fighting the Nazis...but WW1 was just such an horrific waste of young lives...it should never be forgotten

I am going to hotch potch a video featuring this addon mixed in with OFF...as the views/Replay facility in FSX (sadly missing in CFS3) should make an interesting video i hope

RIP Warriors

Greetings Blackadder!...damn fine show, having some more good old British Spunk in the ranks, to give Jonny Hun a bunch of fives! Sorry, only saw your post today old bean...crashed my kite sausage side, was banged up for a while...managed to bribe the fat lad with the Mauser, hopped a lift with an ambulance crew, and got back just in time for Tea and Medals...new SE on the dispersal...off to give the Kaiser what for! Tally Ho...chat over a scotch before long!

Sad that he had to wait until the 1990's to receive his medal,probably just because of the Colour of his skin. A sad indictment of the Military, and society as a whole!...thank goodness we are finally moving forward

In fact..I would go so far as to say it's utter s**t! The only reedeming feature's, are that it only cost £4.99...and that the Sopwith pup will make a nice skin..and the pup sound is great...gonna nick it, and convert for use in OFF

Absolutely... a better idea would be just "What's your favourite ever plane"...without the poll

I don't understand this thread
