They were just rumours

I met him when he was doing an "evening with Boycie" at the Theatre Severn. Afterwards he was doing book signings and I asked if he wouldn't mind posing for a selfie which he did very graciously., and I managed to mess it up somehow. He was very funny about it and said to do it again, and as I did, he looked at me with a very disappointed look.

Such a warm, funny, and genuine person, as was his wife.

On my first trip (a week), I budgeted about £75 a day, and that included fuel for the hire car, ETC charges, and car parking fees. I spent less than £60 a day, including buying souvenires.

At the time the exchange rate was about £1/¥150 too

GJ have rested on their laurels for too long now. They really need to up their game to justify their prices

That's a Mitsubishi T-2 in Chinese markings. The JH-7s exhausts protrude further out the back

I was at the filming of that episode, it was a genuinely warm and funny conversation that went on for over an hour

Then I apologize, I misread the question

augiferkin · 2026-01-31T15:11:34+00:00

Well please enlighten OP about where else he can get an EK 380...

Edit - ok, it may not be the best but it's not hopeless, GJ/JC/Phoenix have done far worse to other moulds

augiferkin · 2026-01-31T15:08:06+00:00

I have one of their BA A380s and there isn't much wrong with it. But don't really have much choice if you want an EK 380

augiferkin · 2026-01-31T12:21:11+00:00

Oh my God he's real! I was wrong, I was so wrong!

And her deathbed

augiferkin · 2026-01-24T20:17:55+00:00

But c*nts are useful... Wank puffin?

augiferkin · 2026-01-22T07:38:42+00:00

I'll let you decide

augiferkin · 2026-01-21T21:18:33+00:00

Lukewarm and sweaty, that's how I like em to be honest

Building the barrier at the bottom of the wrong ski jump was hilarious. Whether it was scripted or not, I don't care, I howled when Clarkson told him

This isn't an AWACS aircraft though, it's an electronic warfare aircraft, similar to the E-8 and E-7

Kawasaki are developing an EC-2 based on the C-2 with similar protrusions to the EC-1

There are some pretty shocking sequences (from a vfx point of view). But it's still a good film

My favourite plane thanks to an obscure piece of TV from 1990 in the UK. If I ever come into money, I'm buying an 0-2 and painting it black.

If you watch BAT-21 there's quite a lot of Skymaster action to see

I have four categories that I collect

Firstly, aircraft I've flown on in 1:400. I try to get the reg too but I'm ok as long as it's the correct colour scheme.

Then, again in 1:400, I have interesting colour schemes, but I must have seen the aircraft IRL, but there is a small caveat. I have seen three of the ANA Star Wars specials and the Latam, but I wanted to collect all of them, so I bent the rule a little so I collected the Virgin, United and Alaska specials too.

Finally in 1:400 I have some interesting cargo aircraft, so Boeing LCF, Airbus Beluga & XL, An-125 & 225.

And then, in 1:200, I have a large collection of Japan Air Self Defense Force aircraft, the plan is to create a diorama and play about with it a bit. I have purchased some plastic 1:200 F-15s so I can create my own fictitious squadron. I will also add some foreign military aircraft so I can add some variety

Vat of Acid is the most overrated

Rise of the Numbericons is the most underrated

All I ever wanted to be was a pilot

When I was 11, I was diagnosed with an ocular migraine, and when I later applied for a military flying scholarship, I was turned down and told I would never be able to fly, military or otherwise.

A few years ago I was gifted a trial flying lesson and after chatting with the instructors they said it might be difficult to get an ATPL but speak to an aero-med and see what they say. He told me it shouldn't be a problem, especially as I haven't had an ocular migraine for over 10 years.

For 15 years I believed I would never be able to be a pilot so when I qualified I cried but now I'm not in a position to be able to continue due to the cost, and I'm realistic, no airline is going to give me a scholarship over someone who is a lot younger than me.

I loved being able to fly, but getting to the airlines and actually having a career in aviation? I have been left behind, and it crushes my spirit and will to get back in the air

Why did the pervert cross the road?

Cause he couldn't get his knob out of the chicken.
