I've not got the knack

I thought for a moment you were talking about Noonien Singh who is also the man from Fantasy Island with his little friend Tattoo who used to shout "De plane, de plane", and it would have been cool if it was a Fairchild Republic A10 flying round the island going BrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrT, BrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrT, BrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrT . That really would have brought out the Wrath of Khan. Not to be confused with Mayor Khan who rarely seems to get agitated.

The white suited man from Fantasy Island is not to be confused with Brain Jackson who is the white suited Man from Del Monte who in turn is not to be confused with everyones favourite Superstars parallel bar dip and Judo champion, Brian Jacks.

As for Earhart, yes, especially on the leather sofa.

I don't think they quite got that far in making an electric strategic bomber although there was talk about nuke engined bombers at one point.

The nearest they got was the Convair B-36 Peacemaker which had six turning and four burning.

Just been reading the Wki on the B-36, some mind boggling stats....

56 spark plugs per engine !
145 octane fuel !

Ordering a full replacement set, and then fitting them!

Mini D is into the latest kids craze, LOL toys. They are cutesy little plastic figurines an inch or so high.

Anyhoo, being the good Dad I am I've been playing with her this afternoon. However, it seems that calling in an air strike to wipe out the North Korean liberalists and blowing them all up very realistically (I thought) making all the jet engine noises of the Tomahawks and the kabooms of the explosions, is not an accepted part of LOL culture. The TV remote made a great Tomahawk missile, which I thought showed great imagination.


She has now gone to sulk. Kids, eh?

If we play today the air strike will be via a XB52 "old dog" gunship.

I got the macho action man one birthday, and it lasted less than a day as my older sisters decided to see how macho he was, by torturing him by poking his head in a spinning bike wheel.

To be fair, he never spoke[sic] even while he was falling to bits..

We used to put our Action Men in old rabbit holes (the rabbits had long gone,incase anyone thinks of the cruelty aspect ) and put those air bomb fireworks in there to simulate a grenade attack, Then when they set the grass on fire twice a year in the local cemetery (the ground was too bumpy for the old style mowers to cut the grass),we'd find a grave pot to put them in to simulate a napalm attack. Also putting them up in the trees then shooting them with air rifles,to simulate a sniper attack was popular as well. They always survived, The only harm they suffered was to the Action Men that had "realistIc hair". That got singed during the "napalm attack".

Though i can't remember them having "Village People" type moustaches like these two?

She should expect that with a high-ranking American general for a father.
