I'm NOT anti-vax and have had many over the years and nothing much has changed in that regard, but I am not prepared to join the head of the que for something which has not been thoroughly tested and proven effective beyond reasonable doubt. The human body is a wonderful machine in itself, and in many many cases (not all) can take care of itself. Natural remedies also play an important part in overcoming many ailments but rarely get the publicity many deserve. In the early days of the pandemic, there was one hell of a lot of scaremongering being broadcast. On tv news they mentioned that a certain large Sydney hospital was half full of patients with covid. A friend of my partner is the head of nursing at that hospital and said some of the wards were barely half full, and at that time said not one of their patiends had covid, and she could not believe what she'd heard on TV. As she said "if someone had it, i'd be the first to know". It was also a great money spinner for GP's and pharmacies to administer the shots. Believe that if you wish. But it is a fact. I have the figures including an extra $10 a shot introduced in December 2021 for them to claim which made a significant increase to their income, not that that worries me. What does really worry me is the large number of vaccinated people falling off the perch long before their time, not from simpy taking the jab with good intentions, but from all the side effects we never even seemed to hear about before. Who'd ever heard of blood clots in main arteries that were 18inches long? If you get the opportunity have a chat with someone who does enbalming. It does not bother me what people think of my views whether i'd be right or totally wrong. As I have said before, we all have our own views and like to feel that we know whats best. Whether it's supposed to be based on science or not, in life we should always question what we are told, because long term that can often bring up different results. At universities we learn what we are told, but the wise ones question it. No offence taken by some slightly abrasive comments about my intelligence.You could well be right. I appreciate others views and so glad that you are all still around. Rgds planey

i'm not afraid to say that my personal belief is that I have not had one Covid jab and will not after nearly 5yrs of extensive research. If the jabs worked as suggested, why would it be necessary to have more and more if the original did it's job. Most who have been keen to get the latest one available have been diagnosed with it again a couple of days afterwards. It's the side effects caused by them which seems to be taking so many people out by wrecking the bodies natural immunity system. Think back 5yrs and ask yourself WHY are so many young fit people succumbing to illnesses barely even heard of before at their age? Over the past month I have now lost 8 friends all of them under the age of 42, and of many of them sadly leaving young families behind. Apart from strokes etc; They ALL HAVE ONE THING IN COMMON, but believed what they were told and thought it would be a good thing which is understandable. My brother in law lost sight in one eye a couple of hours after getting his first one and it was apparently due to a blood clot behind the eye which has never recovered. Thursday morning I got off a cruise ship, On that cruise I noticed 5 ladies with a patch over one eye which is bit of an unusual sight, so made a point to have a chat with them. Guess what? Same story! Trust the science they tell us. Don't be lazy, I say do extensive research yourself, not simply leave it to what you are told by people who are making squillions of dollars from it, and check the history of some of pharma's past wonder cures. It's not all, I for one would wish to have hoped for. My daughter used to work for a well known pharma company and said that doctors were told to push certain products to win golfing weekends, tickets for shows, and trips away. She say's the industry is unethical and stinks. At 82, i'm pretty fit and still working just about full time, so think i'll just leave it that way, despite what others may think. We are all entitled to our own opinion.

You're the man for the job Ian, and all your hard work over the years is much appreciated. Thank you. Rgds Planey

So was the tide really coming in?

Be honest for once, don't blame the phone for your naughty antics.

Agh! Nev, The old Fox 35 Rocket. Had a few of them and bent a few with combat antics. Those were the days of many onfield cremations as a result, but we did have a lot of fun. One of my favorite models of which I built many, was George Aldriches Peacemaker. Kind regards Planey

Yea! but at least be positive, you can get to the refueling point a lot quicker to empty the wallet.😜

Great to see 👍

They are trying to somewhat fix it now. If you pay top dollar for a unit at the Gold Coast, they now hit you with a view tax. Similar in Sydney where I have friend with a nice house overlooking the Georges River. It costs him almost $6000 a year. Next thing we know is a fresh-air tax if we live out of town.

Reminds me of flights to London where all the smokers once jockied to take turns in the back 2 rows of a 747 for a smoke, then coughed their guts up like me, 😜 while returning to assigned seats.

That was interesting Brendan. Thanks for posting that. Flabergasted that a giant aeroplane weighing 42 tons made those trips. What would they think of todays aircraft weighing 10 times that and travelling at todays speeds? They'd no doubt think we were bull sh*tting. Such is the progress of time. Bet they never got a plastic cup of coke and a few pretzels for inflight munchies..

Enjoy your trip Nev. Didn't realise you were also a gambler. Been let down and bumped so many times i've learned my lesson. They won't get another cent fom me. 🙏🙏🙏 PS This in only wishing you get a safe flight on time. Nothing to do with Air Lingus who used to have a priest bless the flight before departure 🤪

Many may have heard that Qatar has offered a new jet to President Trump, but they also had one to offer Biden. https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=2776208065906568&set=a.1308508166009906

A mother and her very young son were flying Southwest Airlines from Kansas City to Chicago. The little boy (who had been looking out the window) turned to his mother and asked, "If big dogs have baby dogs, and big cats have baby cats, why don't big airplanes have baby airplanes?" The mother (who couldn't think of an answer) told her son to ask the stewardess. So the boy went down the aisle and asked the stewardess. The stewardess, who was very busy at the time, smiled and said, "Did your Mom tell you to ask me?" The boy said, "yes she did." "Well, then, you go and tell your mother that there are no baby airplanes because Southwest always pulls out on time. Have your Mom explain that to you."

This to allow passengers to be warm when they travel, by unpacking their case and then wearing 6 jumpers and a warm winter coat to make it all good 😜

Hardly worthwhile, might as well delete post. Sorry about that. Rgds planey

Not always prudent to push the boundaries into the somewhat unknown.

I've always felt a little more comfortable flying builders planks than ceiling fans. Silly terms maybe.😜

Whatever happened to the quid, soverine, crown and half a crown to say nothing about the poor old thuppence and sprazee?

Very sad outcome. Although i've been in quite a few, personally, I dont like them much as I feel they rely on on too many parts which could go wrong, go wrong. Maintenance demands seem far hight than what i'd prefer. Simple things generally seem more reliable to me. That's just my personal feelings.
