  1. Government to squirt a few bob at it - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-leeds-21866228 - well, for the moment..
  2. I'll be in next week - give you time to hide the fags....
  3. Corrected already - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-northern-ireland-21824130 . Who do I send the invoice to?
  4. I've pointed out the errors to them - they're usually fairly quick to correct, but they might have gone home now.. I correct two/three things a week on there, most aren't too serious, but the odd one has been well worth correcting. Let's see what happens.. At least it's not PRSI..?
  5. Remarkable result - considering that he's only fighting in one distant corner of a very large ring..
  6. Eventually an uncontrolled woman will shout "Nerd!" at you... [video=youtube;M6Uq6H-Yhp0]
  7. ... pissing by the door..? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CziOVXFhwQY
  8. He's keeping that close to his chest..
  9. Could certainly end up under the weather..
  10. I came across this - http://www.blurb.co.uk/b/2218346-signals-of-the-limerick-line-s-the-signalling-and - today. Some very interesting stuff in it... And other info on the site, too.
  11. I'm a great believer in graphite lubrication..
  12. Woolworths used to sell an identical model (in black) - much more powerful than the cordless varieties that are about, but the lead can get in the way a bit sometimes. Swings and roundabouts - but, at that price...
  13. No, this is one picking a Tupolev up ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=37jL77YRog8
  14. Bottom post here - http://www.rmweb.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=27313 - confirms your suspicions..
  15. Play about with this - http://maps.osi.ie/publicviewer/#V1,613912,689984,7,9 - there's maps from various times available..
  16. No, not even any left at all, although the remains of a crashed one were found a while ago. There never were many and they're all gone ages ago. There are plans to build a full size flying replica, apparently - and you could get plans in the '70s to build a 2/3 size one at home. It suffered from the Peregrine engine and the Beaufighter eclipsed it in the end - nice-looking, though, I'll agree.
  17. Does seem to have a tendency to make you want to fly on the ground.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nltc_dq_VXI ..ans seems to need it's fuel tanks inspecting in an unorthodox manner..
  18. I went to Cosford last week - they have a Storch there - and a couple of Gnats... Lovely thing, a Storch - flyable down to around 30mph..
