If it's deep purple it may be smoke on the water!

Red sky at night?
Shepherd's delight.

Red sky in the morning?

Re: The really boring and totally pointless snippets thread V

This confounded Fitbit (or fatbit) now has me reaching for my phone straight after I have woken up in the morning to review my sleep stats! Why was my overall sleep score only 62 last night! I intended to sleep well last night but now it appears that I may have made mistakes! How is that I while my ...

Re: The World's on Fire...

Woody & TGG, is this the usual time of year for bush fires in that neck of the woods? It would be unusual, though not unknown, here, but the fire season is starting earlier it seems. Anyway, hope they are sorted quicky and minimum damage, and all are safe. Hydromet, the Cape Peninsular and environs...

Re: The really boring and totally pointless snippets thread V

Some good news. Just had the first rational conversation with the bereaved since Friday night. Even better news, her older sister will be flying in from Australia in a fortnight!

Maybe I should spend more time helicoptering and less time worrying!

Re: Telling aliens where we are ‘puts Earth at risk’

Don't worry ribrash old boy, two aliens knocked on my door last night and asked "is this earth? " to which I replied no, "earth is the second planet going outwards from here" and off they went quite happy. Problem solved. Alien Jehovah's Witnesses clearly! I always just tell them that I am a Cathol...

Flew over to Manston to meet the friendly Polar folk and parrots, and have a look at their ex Spanish army Huey. Will be a landing on my Navex.

Thanks for the advice and good wishes RiS, Karearea and bob2s. The young lady was visited by my better half at the nieces' family home last night, she is Ok but barely functional, and like Greta Garbo, "wants to be alone" but was told in a firm and loving way that if we hear about messages like the ...

Re: Electric Cars II - Not Silly!

I guess I'll become like those horse driven carriage drivers of yesteryear, and demand that all electric vehicles have a man with a red flag preceding them. Thinks …. can you put cards in the edge of the wheels to "clack" - like we used to do with our school bicycles ? At least those electric milk ...

Re: The World's on Fire...

I watched the videos a couple of times. Amazingly efficient and accurate. Clearly easier to hit accuracy on a wider front from the air. What's the process for replenishing the helitorch? I fly back to helibase and it is re-filled. Each batch lasts about 15 minutes.....I have done 600 gallons in one...

Currently very worried about T's niece who has gone back to the family home but who has just sent a very disturbing message to a family friend, who called us. We are ringing around to ensure she is kept under observation, one way or the other for the next few days. It never rains but it pours! On a ...
