Have you ever wondered what jobs the PG Tips Chimps went on to do after being axed by Brooke Bond ?

It's rather sad news unfortunately https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-leicestershire-36103383

I didn't know that . I was using it in a sarcastic way .

Sold Out?

Who knows, wife was disappointed.

It will be in my neighborhood Monday night around 5p.m..

Yeah, clockwatcher.

I'm downloading the new LibreOffice version. While it's validating install I'm validating my 2nd mug of tea. It's a lot cooler this morning. My sock bucket should remain undisturbed for now though.

Morning all. Coffee seems to be working.

Time to retrieve the wheelie bin which was emptied this morning and start to re-fill it.

My black bin is out, awaiting the cheery dustbin men.

I remmeber the old Flight Simulator. I went through the whole ground school and learning flights to solo in my imaginary Cessna 172. Then I flew the Wright Flyer from Kill Devil Hill N.C. to Washington D.C. I had a lot of free time that day.

Used to fly a Spartan Executive, rather unrealistically, around the world visiting every continent.

Didn't the Wright have a top speed of ~25mph? I hope you didn't do it in real time...

My main fascination with flight sims is landings, probably from watching the Krypton Factor as a wee lad.
I must have spent a dozen hours trying to land aforementioned Cessna onto an aircraft carrier in FS98, despite the Cessna not having a tailhook.

Would you need a tail hook? Your speed should be slow enough to stop.

Would it ever catch up with the aircraft carrier, if you take into account wind speed and the carrier steaming into wind ?

I don't know what's been up over the past few days. Foggy head, belching a lot , lacking energy. It seems as I've gone back a few years, back to when I used to be with the fairies for most of the day .
I think I'll go and sniff some mint leaves to see if that might help .

No, I skipped ahead, landed near the War Department, or what I thought was the War Department. Close to the White House, and the old State Department. I have never landed the Douglas DC-3 in Alaska successfully, but I have flown the Rocky Mountains in the DC-3.

The only time I ever managed to leave the ground was when I overshot the runway and off a cliff.

Wasn't the Wright Flyer an expensive(for the time) add on?

I dunno. I got the disc at the Goodwill. Just like a radio controlled airplane training computer sim, with a controller and numerous simulations, different planes and locations. Must have cost a dime or two new, you betcha.

Morning and hello all.

Day off, [already? Only been back at work two days from holiday!] I'm still following/sticking to the Noom program for weight loss. Now down to 96 kg! First time in I don't know how long.
Fact is, I'm feeling so much stronger and fitter I'm swapping out sub-compact chainrings for compact!

Whoa, easy there bud!
Excellent news on the weight loss, BTW.

Have you got time to taken some more photos of Pink please?
