  1. The Reason the UK Military in general pays more is because unlike other armed forces we end up buying just the airframe etc and giving it the the Old Boys club that is BAe etc and then they install all the kit inside it and charge the UK military for everything and charge it double and saying it does a better job, when in the long term generally it doesn't for example the Chinook HCMK2 which was supposed to be glass cockpit etc but they couldn't get it to work and they sat in storage for 8 years when Boeing had the ones for the US Army with glass cockpits sorted in short order... There are also other things the SA-80 would have been cheaper a lot cheaper to buy the M-16/M-4 and there would not have been any problems, granted BAe do make some good equipment when it works, but when it comes to the UK Military in General they shaft them for every penny they can get. Type 45 Destroyer anyone 3 times the cost of a Burke class DDG with half the weapons etc etc... As to the RAF becoming part of the Army or Navy which one of those 2 services controls it ? Because if either do they will set it for their priorities. Granted the RAF does at times do stupid things Harriers anyone? But it should stand alone as there are jobs it does that the other services dont do, anyhew of my soapbox again... oh and I spent 10 years in the Army and Airforce... Navy made me seasick...

Must admit there are certain times of the day when the human mind is very easy to trick at 4:30am is a pretty good one or when you are tired stressed etc... had it myself start talking to the bike and then hearing a response quite good when your blitzing through Germany at 150kmh and no other vehicles around but hey thats what I get for talking to myself... anyhew its nice to hear it doesn't just happen to me makes life wonderful when something strange happens with nothing to explain it...

  19. Found while roaming the interweb thingie... GOLDEN RETRIEVER: The sun is shining, the day is young, we've got our whole lives ahead of us, and you're inside worrying about a stupid burned-out lightbulb? BORDER COLLIE: Just one. And then I'll replace any wiring that's not up to code. DACHSHUND: You know I can't reach that stupid lamp. ROTTWEILER: Make me! LAB: Oh, me,me!!!! Pleeeeeeze let me change the light bulb! Can I? Can I? Huh? Can I?!!! GERMAN SHEPARD: I'll change it as soon as I've led these people from the dark, check to make sure I haven't missed any, and make just one more perimeter patrol to see that no one has tried to take advantage of the situation. TIBETAN TERRIER: Let the Boder Collie do it. You can feed me while he's busy. JACK RUSSEL TERRIER: Ill just pop it in while I'm bouncing off the walls and furniture. POODLE: I'll just blow in the Border collie's ear and he'll do it. By the time he finishes rewiring the house, my nails will be dry. COCKER SPANIEL: Why change it? I can still pee on the carpet in the dark. DOBERMAN: While its dark, I'm going to sleep on the couch. BOXER: Who cares? I can still play with my squeaky toys in the dark. CHIHUAHUA: Yo quiero Taco Bulb. POINTER: I see it, there it is, there it is, right here... GREYHOUND: It isn't moving, who cares? AUSTRALIAN SHEPARD: First, I'll put all the light bulbs in a little circle... OLD ENGLISH SHEEPDOG: Light bulb? I'm sorry, but I don't see a light bulb. HOUND DOG: ZZZZZZZZzZzZzZZz.z..z...z...z.z.z...z CAT: Dogs do not change light bulbs. People change light bulbs. So, the question is : How long will it be before I can expect light? ALL OF WHICH PROVES, ONCE AGAIN, THAT WHILE DOGS HAVE MASTERS, CATS HAVE STAFF.
  20. Final day before my own personal Iron Butt Ride... 1200 miles in 18 hours

  21. And his supporters claim its because of the Jewish Lobby he has been arrested... laugh I fell of my chair at that one... yet the guy is a known preacher of racism towards the Jews...
  22. At Caesar... wasnt much of a fight to be honest just lately me and the computer have a thing going she goes for high speed slash and runs but rarely mixes it with me, story of my life... only hard part of the kill was chasing him down... At EricJ... go as is and and see how you do... and on your skinning might have to mod an F as a Super Fox... though I think someone has already done this...
  23. Damn don't know why but the 31 always reminds me of a flying brick... more so than the F-4e Phantom... Looking good...
  24. do you want a whiskey chaser with that mate... As to the issue might be a good time to see about buying a solid state drive bit more expensive than a standard but dropping them isn't as much of an issue...
