BBC flypast coverage!!

Postby Mayfly » Sat Jun 25, 2011 12:21 pm

I really think I should put DT forward as a consultant for a/c recognition - what a cake and arse party they have just made over BBMFs flypast over Edinburgh!!! ~x( ~x( ~x(

They weren't even sure what a/c they were... X(

Wouldn't need D.T. I bet most youngsters with a little bit of an aviation interest could beat the BBC! :-o

From a Dining In Night?

"Here's to the food on your plate
Here's to the wine in your glass
If you don't like what we are having tonight
Well, you can shove it up your
Amen"

I suspect something of the like!

This one always makes me smile

Oh Lord, who turned the water into wine
Forgive us here, but mortal men
About to turn it back again.
