  1. There was another, similar game around the same time:
  2. 55% alcohol? Bet it's barely drinkable!
  3. The Vulcan flew over Guildford on Monday, heading that way! When I was little, my local village was near a US base, and they got on very well (some of the service guys lived there). So for the village fete every year, they used to have an airshow. I'll never forget a Vulcan coming over our house at about 500 feet. Took ages to pick everything up again! Also used to go to the PFA Rally at Cranfield back in the day. Now that was something. Little airfield where everybody descended for one weekend - I believe it used to be the second biggest rally in the whole world. The record there was 1900 aircraft! The end of the weekend really was a spectacle - the planes would be queued up trying to leave, and they'd be launching them 2 or 3 at a time over the space of several hours. The Tower ATC guys must have been exhausted!
  4. Nice. Sometimes the marketing department gets things really right!

    Flying Donkey

    It's appalling how these animals are treated. Almost put me off my KFC bucket!
  6. I'd like a rusty trombone.
  7. Yep - that's them. There's a thread on the forum here: http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=133215 They are helpful and frequently check the forum too if you have any questions.

    Tents advice?

    I like the video of the guy pitching the tent. Of course, they don't show the 15 minute video of him and 2 other mates trying to wrestle it back into the bag again!
  9. A number of other, similarly described, instances of people experiencing a presence, particularly of being watched from behind have been attributed to low-frequency vibrations. Apparently, oscillations (especially in the inaudible 17-19Hz range) can cause vibrations in the eyeball which create a sense of "presence" in the peripheral vision. Frequent causes of this phenomenon are household appliances like washing machines, tumble driers, ceiling fans, etc., but natural occurrences of infrasound have also been found in some "haunted" sights, like the Edinburgh Vaults.
  10. Gene Wilder is terrible - Johnny Depp FTW. Wait a minute. Strike that. Reverse it.
  11. £6.5k ish sounds about right. £7.2k was probably overpriced. btw. is there a dyno sheet with 420hp on it? Don't get too carried away with that figure if not - for a basic BPU, it would be more likely around the 400 or maybe even down towards the 380 mark.
  12. Interesting. All my favourite, thought-provoking films are those which I concentrate on, and therefore don't watch unless I can totally immerse myself in them. Therefore, the go-to films I have watched the most tend to be lighter fare: - Sleepy Hollow - Deep Blue Sea - Fellowship of the Ring - Aliens
  13. Ed - this is SO much win. You're a legend!

    Lose and Loose

    No - it's stereotypical.

    Vintage Toys

    What board games, out of interest?
  16. Funny - I always thought India was in Asia. Guess all my maps are wrong!
  17. lol. How very silly! 10 hours of tennis and when they eventually get to leave the court, they have to carry their own kit bags!
  18. What sort of thing are you after? Cultural, retail, historical, social?
  19. Cool birds. I beleve the "Evil Owl" look is actually an attempt to hide by blending in with a tree trunk - the eyes are closed up as they would otherwise stand out.

    oil!!!

    With our continued reliance on fossil fuels, the economic pit of doom that most of the western world is digging itself into, and the ever-increasing global population, I am of the increasing opinion that something truly cataclysmic has to happen within the next 50 years. Maybe it'll be a scientific brekathrough (nuclear fusion?) Maybe it'll be a US/China war (US will NEVER afford to pay back their $1trillion debt) Maybe it'll be the collapse of various currencies - USD, GBP, EUR, YEN, etc. (the concept of "money" is looking ever more fragile) Something's got to break...... soon.

    am i going mad....

    Spot on. Had a couple of these myself over the years. One time I woke up and was convinced that there was a live gremlin on the bedside table. I was totally convinced that was what it was (even after turning the light on!) until I "fully" woke up about 10 seconds later. Had another one where the shape of a jacket hung on a chair looked vaguely like the silhoutte of the missus. Again - I was sure it was her for a few seconds and even asked "her" why she was standing in the middle of the room before I woke up properly about 10 seconds later, again.
  22. Cheers, pal! Have had a day of driving, relaxing, eating and drinking. Top stuff!
  23. Ours get passed round in an envelope - there has never been a "suggested" contribution amount.
  24. Even in this day and age........ ......isn't it amazing that people still like to feel offended rather than seeing the humour in life! It's NOT a real site, people!!!! It's supposed to be a parody. The whole thing was set up as a joke.
