  1. It looks a bit like Navy TA-4J Skyhawk Trainer, but not positive.Cheers, Willie.

    Nope, that was one of my thoughts too, but the A-4 and TA-4 are low wing with the intake above the wing. this looks mid wing with the intakes ahead and level with the wing root.

     

    I though A-10 without the gun at first, but their engines are out back and podded.

     

     

  2. Assembly Aircraft.

    That certainly is an Assembly Plane as described by Gary.That particular plane was a B-17F, SN: 42-3441 called "Spotted Cow" and belonged to 384th Bomb Group. She flew 61 combat missions as "Patches II" before being used as an Assy. Aircraft.

     

    Here is a website with more pictures of the aircraft:

  3. meh.

     

    Over here live together in a relationship for 3 years and you're legally given all the same relationship protections as legally married couples. De Facto couples get to be included in inestate no-will death divvy-ups, break up after 3 years and a couple of months and you get a claim on Matrimonial Property same as any non-PreNup married couple getting divorced.

     

    IIRC it doesn't even mention sex, just "Living together in the nature of a marriage" without actually being married.

  5. Reminds me on a joke I heard some years back.

     

    A travelling salesman was in a new town, not knowing the town he decided to pop into the pub a few doors down from his hotel for a beer.

     

    Inside the pub the lighting was dim and the inhabitants filling a certain stereotype, lots of leather, studs, men dancing together.

     

    Deciding that what the hell, beer is beer, wherever it is served, he proceeds to the bar and orders.

     

    Two bearded types standing next to him wearing what cowboys would wear if cowboys wore leather straps were next to him at the bar. Suddenly one farted. *Phut* Shortly afterwards the other farted as well. *Phut*

     

    Feeling a bit tight from the gas inside the salesman decided it must be an accepted thing in this town to fart in public. So he let out his load of gas *PPPFFFRRrrreeetttttt*

     

    The psuedo-cowboys chimed up together, "Ah, a Virgin!"

  7. The biggest problem with most american tigers is they are hybrids. Worth nothing but their value as a rug.

     

    There are two genotypes of tiger, Siberian, found in the north and east of Russia, and Benegal, found from Bruma to Pakistan with most in the northeast of India.

     

    The wild populations are geneticly distinct, but most domestic tigers are a blend of the two, which makes them worthless as potential acclimatization and release subjects.

     

    You may as well use them to make rugs and use the bones to make Tiger Wine to sell to the Chinese, none of the wildlife protection societies are going to release blended genes to mix and muddy the wild populations.

  9. Does AusPost have a mail forwarding warehouse?

     

    NZPost has a service set up where you send your US purchases to a US warehouse and they pack it all up and ship it to NZ bulk and then reship it domestically here.

     

    Plus there are a number of private companies doing the same thing, but probably without the bulk economy of a major postal carrier.
