Re: The really boring and totally pointless snippets thread V
Morning folks. Καλό Πάσχα to all our Greek correspondents. Sunny. Safari camp for a few beers at lunchtime. They had a cow in their pond which is lined with plastic. Damaged of course. Now all the plants and fish have to come out and the fountains dismantled to replace the liner. Oh and two terrapin...

Re: The really boring and totally pointless snippets thread V
Afternoon folks. Has been a warm day. Had a power cut. Don't understand why. Battery 100% but inverter says battery low. Started the genny and it seems to have sorted itself out. Genny now off and all stable.

Re: The really boring and totally pointless snippets thread V
Morning folks. Sunny. Thatching continues. Mess continues. They have put up plastic sheeting inside this time so inside is not too bad. Trying to repair flower beds they have wrecked. They are finishing out the back today which is just over a path but then they start in the garden again for the rest...

Morning folks. Clear and cool. Thatchers were here before 07.00. The mess progresses.

Re: The really boring and totally pointless snippets thread V
Three hours at the clinic. OK it was both of us for routine scans and Mrs Ex-Ascot for a boob X-Ray which she is still complaining about. A double consultation and waiting between procedures for reports. Then ages to settle the account. No queues just all took time. They are remarkably equipped so n...

Re: Airlines reliant on GPS
Endless fun on the Andover watching the Nav shuffle with the Decca rolls. It seemed to be quite accurate.
The sextant mounting was used occasionally just for the Nav to keep in practice but mainly used for flags.

Re: The really boring and totally pointless snippets thread V
Morning folks. The thatchers arrived at 07.00. Junior night guard was still asleep at 06.30. Should have left at 06.00. He was back at 07.00 as a gardener. Ultrasound scan at 09.00 on a lump on my neck which is diminishing then the quack to asses the results. Breakfast beer to brace myself.

Airlines reliant on GPS
When I was operational we never used GPS. The reason being, I understood, is that the military controlled the system and in time of war it could be turned off. We used INS and ground based beacons. It seems that now airlines are more reliant on GPS https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13361885/T...

Re: The Duke and Duchess of Sussex
Ginge has awarded a lady with 'Soldier of the year' USA. Why a Brit and why wasn't he wearing his coronation medal? The latter a huge insult to HMK.

Re: The really boring and totally pointless snippets thread V
Morning folks. Sunny. The thatchers are here. Chaos for at least three weeks. Last time they did it inside the house was a big mess. They are putting up plastic this time to catch most of it. We will see.

Re: The really boring and totally pointless snippets thread V
Morning folks. Sunny and windy. Booked tickets for JNB-DBX-ATH and return this morning. Hate doing these things on line. Always worried I will press the wrong button and end up in Antarctica. Managed to get my favorite seat just behind the very best seat on all flights but Mrs Ex-Ascot is not always...

Morning folks. Broken cloud but warm. We are worried about our pod of hippos. Apart from two who wandered past the other day they are nowhere to be seen.
