  1. Acki doesn't need to worry about being busted by SnarkyDucky as James Bond has already done the submarine car thing too (although slightly more stylishly in a Lotus...but perhaps not TARDISised as well)... SnarkyDucky has actually seen this sub Lotus in reality (on land) and it is a pretty awesome looking machine...
  2. DarkytheDucky would just like to clarify.....is our submarine still a converted Toyota Corolla (which is taking on TARDIS-like proportions)?
  3. ...found that someone had sneakily replaced it with a plastic pirate sword from the $2 shop. Throwing the (plastic) sword down in disgust, he reached into his back pocket and pulled out... DarkytheDucky thinks that, if you look at his movies the right way, Walt Disney was a bit of a dirty old man at times...
  4. I'm glad we agree about Ewan thumper
  5. Sarkdarcasm thinks that this Toyota Corolla is clearly related to the TARDIS to be able to fit so much inside it Will Tomo be able to keep control of his wireless network long enough to send a plea for help to the Mayor of Dalbyville or will Slarti take over and use up Tomo's download limit?...
  6. ...a compass so they can find where they're going... Sarkdarcasm thinks the image of a penguin reading a map was too good to give up...but how would they hold it without opposable thumbs??
  7. ...which has been turned into a submarine by the combined genius (or stupidity) of Mythbusters and Top Gear (UK)...
  8. I wourd do (when in doubt plick C) but raw exams are essays... Cheers about the brog too - elelyone else, rook at it Now...back to the Lat's impending adventure with a cattle plod...
  9. Dalky is going to fail her exams now...or at least wlite them in a vely stlange ranguage
  10. ...and snuck up behind the Lat who was distlacted wondering why the bulls in the corner of the paddock were clanky and sitting on those doughnut shaped cushions... Dalkcastic has just discovered she has been mentioned in previous posts (after madly reading to catch up and try and work out what the h*ll is going on in this story) and hopes her attempt at posting doesn't disappoint despite the lack of Jabbaloos on froats...
  11. haha, yeah I'm going to go see it for the flying scenes and Ewan McGregor (in that order)
  12. Well I'm excited! :big_grin: According to IMDB, it's out here on 3rd December 2009...so not too far away (yet there has been no advertising...)
  13. That would be a fun thread to start....
  14. pahahahahahahahahaha I guess it's just habit by now....
  15. I'm finding that 'thumping' on things seems to work quite often in aviation... Amusingly, there is a technical term for 'thumping and swearing' - percussive maintenance
  16. I want one...take it to the beach during summer :big_grin:
  17. I wonder if my instructor knows he's (almost) famous
  18. If anyone is interested, I've posted a review of my lovely new LightSpeed Zulu headset HERE.

  20. Cheers Qwerty
  21. I bought an external hard drive off eBay last year, I'd recommend having a look there :)
  22. I got a new laptop recently and had to transfer my old files. I connected both to the internet and made all the folders I wanted to copy shared folders which meant that I could see them on the other laptop on the network. Then I just copied the folders onto the new laptop. This might help: Windows Shared Folders - Find Shared Windows Folders If you do this, then you can just start everything copying and leave it overnight and it should be done in the morning (if you have lots of stuff to copy...) If you stay with Vista (which I have done and I haven't gone completely crazy with frustration yet), one of the first things you should do is to turn off the annoying "do you really want to do this" popups that will popup whenever you try to do ANYTHING and basically drive you up the wall. Here's a link how to do that: Windows Vista Tip: Disable annoying "Need your permission to continue-" prompts - Gizmodo - Lifehacker I would also recommend AVG Anti-Virus which I see Ian has already put up a link to. I use it and it works well. Hope some of this is helpful :)
  23. Thanks volksy :) I'll email them once I know what I'm doing. What I'm hoping (if I go to Canberra) is on one weekend to book a lesson at Goulburn and, if Slarti's kind offer is still open, maybe have a fly with him before/afterwards if he can manage it. Now I just need to see if I'll actually be getting to Canberra!
  24. Gliders, cool.:thumb_up: Although that's probably the one thing I don't want to do. I have found out that if you work in aviation law (which I'd rather like to do) you can claim flying lessons as a work related expense....if I can do that, I'll go right up to ATPL and get every endorsement available!
  25. Argh I hadn't even thought of those! Currently the plan is XC + PAX endorsements on RA certificate then get a PPL and get lots of endorsements - taildragger, aerobatics (having a trial flight first to make sure my stomach won't give in...), instrument and maybe night. And mutli-engine too. I might start thinking of low level and formation too now though! *watches bank balance disappear*
