Re: The really boring and totally pointless snippets thread III

Off to work tomorrow. So far it looks like Spain. Goodness knows where else.

Giggling at Slasher's description of the wedding. :D

Re: Cycling

Back at Chicksands on Sunday. No injuries, just lots of grins. In training for a 50k off road ride on July 8. It's the British Heart Foundation ride. There's road and off road options. https://www.bhf.org.uk/get-involved/events/bike-rides/milton-keynes-bike-ride Doing it for charity too. A colleague...

Re: 20 billion for NHS

Want to save the NHS money? Educate people about weight management through healthy choices of food and regular activity. That will save the NHS millions.

Re: Who is this mob?

It's a very tough market. Many people are tied to their FF points and perks. Also, they'll have corporate accounts with the airlines too.
The US has a significantly higher population density (as you all know). I am not surprised it didn't work in Oz. Then there's the ol' prop shock to contend with.

Re: The really boring and totally pointless snippets thread III

Regularly get Lancs and Spits flying over head. Duxford's not "that" far away.
Off for another bike ride tomorrow. Got a 50k off road charity ride on July 8. British Heart Foundation.

Re: upskirting

The bloke objected to the haste of the legislation. He felt it ought to be debated properly. I have to say I agree. I am not a fan of this particular politician but in this case, he's right.
As for upskirt photos? Why?

Re: The really boring and totally pointless snippets thread II

What a day Sunday was... It was closer to a sim ex than a 3 sector day. So glad I got sent home early. Especially since I had a cooler bag of non standard wine stock that needed to come off. Fortunately I was flying with a great colleague so that made it a lot of fun. Alpine tyres now on the Disco. ...

Re: The really boring and totally pointless snippets thread II

Did my eye test for the medical today. It went well so i was pleased. Very little change over the past 4 years. The distance vision has barely changed. The reading bit has changed a little bit but not really enough to go full prescription. So for reading in rubbish light I'll just keep using the che...

Re: The really boring and totally pointless snippets thread II

On holidays. A bit of a staycation sort of thing. Can't say I am a massive fan of airports when I don't need to be near one. Shouted my cousin to a nice feed at Paris House for her 80th. Heading off to the Cotswolds later this week for a mate's wedding. Should be a tonne of fun. Bush flying? I'll be...

Bike's there now. I can't do the suspension stuff. That needs specialist work. :)

Re: The really boring and totally pointless snippets thread II

Decided to ride the MTB to the bike shop for its annual maintenance. 45 min. Brr. Shouted myself a hot chocky and a flap jack for a reward. :D

Re: How did you become a pilot?

... Dinner and fireworks done. So I went gliding, hmm not so much fun. My colleague took me flying and initially it wasn't much fun because of the turbulence. However, the next flight up to Port Macquarie along coast was amazing. It was a thunderclap. I had to do this. So embarked on the long and so...

Re: How did you become a pilot?

When I was about 4, I was aware of the Moon landing. Mainly because I was at a doctor's surgery. Any way, if it wasn't dinosaurs I was also into the space programme. I wanted to be an astronaut. That changed when I realised the casualty rate (horrendous!) and that I was an Aussie female, no space pr...

Re: The really boring and totally pointless snippets thread II

Hi Slasher, I still have Junior and I just sold the Monster a couple of months ago. I don't ride the motorbikes nearly as much as they deserve. I ride mountain bikes far more often these days. Better for my fitness. :)

Strewth! That's a doozy of a blow out.

Had a great ride around Woburn on the Longslade trail with a mate. Didn't stay cold for long! Trails are running very sweetly. B-)

Re: I respect...

Occasionally I read the obituary column in the paper in the gym. Recently was an article about a former S.O.E. operative from WW2 who had passed away. I take nothing away from the bravery of the men who fought in WW2 (and any war to be honest) but what these women did behind enemy lines was truly hu...
