241509 2004-06-04 03:23:00 Last year Beetle asked for suggestions of favourite sites. It was a good thread and I picked up quite a few myself from it. Maybe we should do it again.

Anyway, this is about the only forum I use - apart from the one on Gareth Morgans site but there is almost no activity at all there.

So where else do people go? What are your favourite forums?

Cheers

241514 2004-06-04 05:26:00 I suppose the question was a bit open-ended. I was really thinking not of myself but for everybodys interest.

My own interests span Monty Python, sharemarket investment, astrophysics, philosophy, history, books, etc. Just the usual stuff.

241516 2004-06-04 07:06:00 (Cut to corner of cinema . A man in an ice-cream girl's uniform is standing in a spotlight with an ice-cream tray with an albatross on it . )

Man: Albatross! Albatross! Albatross!

(A cutomer approaches him . )

Customer: Two choc-ices please .

Man: I haven't got choc-ices . I only got the albatross . Albatross!

Customer: What flavour is it?

Man: It's a bird, innit . It's a bloody sea bird . . . it's not any bloody flavour . Albatross!

Customer: Do you get wafers with it?

Man: Course you don't get bloody wafers with it . Albatross!

Customer: How much is it?

Man: Ninepence .

Customer: I'll have two please .

Man: Gannet on a stick .

(The camera zooms past back onto the screen . On screen appears another 'Intermission' sign . )

First Voice Over: There will now be a very short . . .

(The intermission sign explodes . )

We now see a series on animated captions:

'NOW SHOWING AT OTHER DANK CINEMAS'
'AT THE PORTNOY CINEMA PICCADILLY'
'WINNER OF THE GOLDEN PALM, TORREMOLINOS'
'RAINWEAR THROUGH THE AGES'
'COMING SOON'
'AT THE JODRELL CINEMA, COCKFOSTERS'

Second Voice Over: The management regrets that it will not be showing a feature film this evening as it eats into the profits'

(Cut to the Queen on horseback; first few bars of National Anthem . Cut to Customer sitting in cinema seat clutching albatross . )

Customer: Well that's quite enough of that . And now a policeman near Rottingdeans . . . Albatross!







Meh heh heh . . . . Gotta love the humour .

A few years after WWII, it was possible to buy off the shelf pulse jets in model/hobbies shops in the UK. They were quite the rage with modellers, they used to build and power helicopters with them. Very noisy of course.

We also used to play with solid fuel "Jetex" rocket motors. These were made of finned aluminium cases, with a clip-on exhaust nozzle cap. The fuel was a pellet ignited by a thin wick that was fed in through the exhaust nozzle.

Great fun building model jet fighters and V2 rockets :)
