She'll be off to Windsor Castle next month along with the other finalists and will be on the Zoe Ball breakfast show live from the castle when they reveal the winners. Needless to say, we have one very excited twelve year old in our house at the moment! Her story is on the 500 words web page and if you'd like you can have a read or a listen to it, it's called "The day the door opened" by Emily Gibson. An excited twelve year old.....I can see I'll be spending more time in my shed. . just read your daughters piece of literature, brilliant 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractorman810 Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 my new little nephew and his mum finally got home today, at present it seems there was no damage from his little poop incident which is great, although they said its not 100% guaranteed ,they did say they recon its a less than 2 % chance he has got any problems. he will have some extra tests in 5-6 weeks apparently to double check 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post justy 46 Posted June 2, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted June 2, 2019 (edited) My family organised a 40th party for me over the weekend. My wife put in alot of tought and effort..giving it a TopGun theme ..considering I'm abit of an aviation fanatic ..The cake was amazing ..not too sure of the cardboard cut out tough which is a blown up pic of myself at a fancy dress party last year. . We had a beautiful meal and then a few drinks afterwards ..my wife topped it off by organising a 2 day trip to Bristol in July to attend the the Royal International Air Tattoo air show ..which I always wanted to go to since so was a young lad.. Great weekend and looking forward to the air show now.. Edited June 3, 2019 by justy 46 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dusty Dan Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 (edited) Congratulations!, very nice and a great idea. Air shows are nice to attend. I am glad you are an aviation enthusiast! I have seen a few shows including ones with the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds (twice) and a U.S. Navy Super Hornet, among other types of planes. I also have a couple of diecasts, a U.S. Navy Skyhawk from the Vietnam War and a U.S. Navy Super Hornet by “Witty Wings.” The canopy opens on the Super Hornet.

I have seen them at the Galway air show a good few years ago. The F-16Cs they fly are very manuverabe, fast and powerful. I have seen the RAF Red Arrows too on s few occasions...but I'm yet to see the USN Blue Angles.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusty Dan Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 Yes, I agree, air shows are much fun to attend. I have never seen the Blue Angels either. The two times that I saw the Thunderbirds was at the annual air show off the boardwalk in Ocean City, Maryland. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awdmac Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 Cheering sight seeing a tidy DB996 ripping through Nantwich at half 6 this morning. No cab with loader & muck fork, wet through, hammering it down. Have to get a dash cam. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have waited for test results myself, it is not a pretty thing. I hope the results are favorable for you and that perhaps some other diagnoses may be made. But it is best to have these tests and then make plans from there. I will be thinking of you, saying a prayer, and hoping for the best for you no matter the diagnosis. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
