Mundane News

Just seen on the local TV news. A large scale model armada of ships from navies around the world all made from matchsticks on show in Weymouth . All of the models are painted, some with aeroplanes or helicopters with propellers and rotors which spin. All made by one man in his spare time. At the Nothefort Museum .
They didn't say how long it was on for !
 
Sorry to be pedantic but Eagles are F15 's and F18's are Hornets. Both have twin rudders . The main difference for identification are the wings and nose. The Hornet has smaller wings and a longer slimmer nose, a bit like an X wing fighter from Star Wars .

No need to apologise about being pedantic - I'm the same when it comes to motor racing :laugh:

Don't get those these far east, but we do get the F18 Eagles from Mildenhall / Lakenheath.
I didn't realise how noisy they were until I did the ride back home from Ely and there were a couple of pairs taking off from Lakenheath and looping around.

In other news, I'm out of cheese so a trip to Waitrose in Ipswich will be required tomorrow. for a couple of the larger packs of the essentials English mature Cheddar (strength 4).

Cheese & Onion crisps are just not the same as a snack.

I think cheese and onion has been mentioned 4 times today. Mundane of the day!

Bad dad.

Daughter has just exploded a load of nail varnish remover over the lounge carpet, despite my missus saying not too.

Hoping carpet will survive after this as i got up quick to wipe it.. plain deep red carpet.

Evil dad now.. FFS. No bike chemicals come near the house, but nail shoot can. Up for a bloody flight at 3am.. Nail paint will be gone ASAP on the blooming sand tomorrow, so why bother..

And a Hornet could show up anywhere, as they are Navy/Marine fighters, and the Eagle would be USAF.
