Classic British Flight Sim

Yes it needles me sometimes when others don't join in.

Or you could give your location when flying using that wireless thingy as 'Ten W'. (Tangent time again!)

Well, you and Pete had crossed that Wooton Bridge before we realised what you were up to. I'm still trying to work out the meaning of "dring from a mug made from Aluminium"

Yes, it puzzled me for a while, Mike. It's a very clever reference to Alum Bay hence my response about pushing coloured sand down into glass lighthouses.





Incidentally, I think I called it Alum Chine in my earlier post which is near Bournemouth. Alum Bay is the one on the IoW.

Thanks Pete.

OK, I give in. I've spent ages trying to figure it out! Anyone know what the heck Keith is on about?
Pete

It is similar to the island in the Irish Sea known for its 3 legs.......'Ten M'......I.O.M.
Its from an old joke about an american pilot on his first trip in Europe, when asked his position he referred to his map & said......'Ten W'....

Oh happy day!
Again, we've learnt something from these posts.

Ah, now it makes sense, Keith, thank you. It's obviously not just my eyes that time is dimming.
