  1. Not like she had to reverse park it.
  2. One day Murphy goes into a pharmacy - reaches into his pocket and takes out a small Irish whiskey bottle and a teaspoon. He pours from the bottle onto the teaspoon and offers it to the chemist. "Could you taste this for me, please?" The chemist takes the teaspoon, puts it in his mouth, swills the liquid around and swallows it. "Does that taste sweet to you?" says Murphy. "No, not at all," says the chemist. "Oh that's a relief," says Murphy. "The doctor told me to come here and get my urine tested for sugar."
  3. Must have a retina display.

    Heart Attack

    Did you enjoy the chopper ride to my place? Glad to read you are fine now.
  5. Nismo power to weight ratio is impressive. No mention of fuel use.
  6. The worlds largest Private Jet. In early 2007, reports began circulating that some extremely rich person had commissioned a private variant of Airbus' then-newly introduced A380 airliner, at a starting cost of $300M. The double-decker jumbo jet—still the world's largest passenger jet—can accommodate 853 passengers in commercial guise, but the buyer, who was later revealed as Saudi Arabian royal Prince Al-Waleed bin Talal, was said to have spent an additional $100M to $150M to outfit the plane to his high standards and transport no more than 100 people. But now the prince has apparently sold the plane before it ever took flight, to an unnamed billionaire desperate to skip the waiting list for the world's largest private jet. Prince Al-Waleed tapped interior designer Edése Doret—a private jet and megayacht specialist—to transform the interiors into an airborne palace. That process started simply, at least by these standards. Doret designed a 14-seat dining table for the Prince and his guests, complete with cushy chromed chairs and a glass chandelier, all rendered in soothing neutral tones. Adjacent to the dining area, a lounge area boasting three sofas, a pair of chairs, a shiny coffee table, and four rather hideous light fixtures. As if guests weren't impressed enough already by a half-billion dollar private jet, there's an illuminated nook in the divider to hold a scale model of the owner's absurdly large motor yacht. A huge flatscreen television, mounted on the wall opposite the ship model, provides more pedestrian entertainment. If the upgrades mentioned so far seem banal by private jet standards—and/or hardly worth $150M—this is where things get crazy. According to the Sydney Morning Herald, the record-breaking jet will have the world's first elevator in the sky, providing access to the plane's three levels in flight, as well as extending all the way down to the tarmac when parked, for easy VIP egress. Doret had been planning to include a whirlpool tub in the design—one with "a rapid drainage system that can empty the standing water in seconds to a tank in the cargo hold"—but Airbus refused to include a swimming pool on board. What is reportedly making the cut is a special "magic carpet" room on the lowest level, which is outfitted with a transparent floor, providing astounding views of the countryside from cruising altitude.
  7. An Uncle was booked on that flight but sold his ticket to another person at his work, oops sorry.
  8. I would say the original picture was taken level with the top of the ute tray and closer.
  9. You can fit either wing tips to the same wing. You can also remove them to help hanger the plane.
  10. A plane with wing options to give you choices? The Pipstrel Sinus Flex does that.
  11. They have the interest of their male passengers in mind.
  12. You mean Julia? I got rid of her last September.
  13. When drilling perspex use a dull drill bit. A sharp one will bite in a crack it. If you don't have one I am sure I have a box full.
  14. What would you think following this?
  15. Prices of Corn have gone up in the states as they are using it to make Ethanol and the Mexicans can't now afford to buy it. I understand there is this black goo they can get out of the ground that is almost useless for any other purpose (except for making plastics, resins and the like) which can be modified with less energy than it takes to convert Corn to Ethanol and can then be used to power planes, trains and automobiles. It'll never catch on.
  16. Careful, they normally travel in pairs.
  17. Morning flight over Milang, Clayton, Point Sturt and Lake Alexandrina from Murray Bridge with my son in law.
  18. A Google search found the picture here. http://www.girlswithwings.com/Bios/Arty.html
