I recently spent a couple of days in Las Vegas, somewhere I'd wanted to see for a while now. I really enjoyed it but why did no-one tell me about those annoying-midget-pornocard/ticket jockeys who inhabit every bloody pedestrian crossing ? Aaaarrggghhh the way they "clicked" the tickets then tried to give you a handful made my blood boil. Yeah yeah I know everyone's got to earn a living and lordy knows I'm no prude but jeezus it's a good job I wasn't armed. The vertically challenged of The Vegas Strip would have become an endangered species. That's it, rant-ette over.

Nothing to do with aircraft of any sort - unfortunately - unless you class the airports and driving past a few Air bases (Hill AFB in Utah I particularly remember and also some of the Minutman facilities in WY and CO we managed to spot). It was a nice long road trip visiting some of the places I've always wanted to see. Wyoming prairie lands ( god I love that state) Yellowstone, Black Hills in SD, the Rockies around Denver, Grand Canyon, Bryce National Park and Vegas to name a few. Got to say it was probably the best six weeks of my life so far.

Didn't do Nellis unfortunately it wasn't that kind of trip. In fact I visited quite a few places in the US on my bucket list and really loved my time over the pond.

Night clubs ? They are for nuns and amateurs my friend. As for seriousness...I won't rise to that and suggest nicely that you don't either.

I was merely referring to the size of the cosmos ! Trust you, the buster of migs, to read more into it. Nice to see you too

Just goes to prove - size matters.

...and I thought it was going to be about mach numbers.

Looks very good plus with upcoming adaptations of Old Man's War and The Forever War on the horizon all you SF jockeys (me included) are in for a treat !

Yep a very merry christmas and a happy new year to you all. x

I like the look of this but I know I'll just end up looking for inaccuracies with hardware, jargon et al. Anything with a lunar module in it gets my thumbs up !

Wierd is good, non... Welcome back Emps.

Israel will always get my support. Simple. Stay safe over there guys.

Who needs Barry Norman with you lot about ? Damn, I was actually looking forward to this movie...now my whole weekend plans are in tatters !

You mean you haven't heard of the Origami Stealth Project ?

Looks good to me Ed !

Aye, happy birthday to ya.

Oh...here's me thinking Chevy Chase had kicked the bucket.

Some truly awe-inspiring screenies there guys. Well done
