  1. I get most of my kit from scan.co.uk The reputable suppliers are going to be much of a muchness when it comes to prices & availability. You really just need to keep your eye out for daily deals and stuff.
  2. Old Spock, he did way too much "LDS" in the 60s - explains his pointy ears!
  3. Thebes. Ancient capital city of Egypt. Founded around 2100 BC (Before Concorde), many believe it was the site of the world's first airport, literally thousands of years before any human-built flying machine. The Arrival Hall of Amun Re (above) was definitely built to impress. The Departures building was built into the side of a cliff, but as countless users of FSX can testify, airports built into cliffs are not a problem. A definite sign of the prescience of the ancients.

  4. Thank you kind peeps. The day started off with a visit to the NHS Vampires, and an answer to Shakespeare's most pertinent question: if you prick us, do we not bleed? Well no, not if you can't find the blinkin vein! Still, several holes later, I was able to have a feast of eggs & bacon in the officer's mess. Subsequent rounds of socialising and beverage consumption were blighted by occasional bouts of work, but the day was nicely rounded off with Jackie Chan movies and a single malt. Chin chin!

    Speakers

    I have a Creative stereo system (actually 2 satellites and a sub) that came as part of a PC bundle I bought back in 2007 (making them 12 years old). The PC they came with is long defunct. They still sound pretty good though. The only change I've made is to put a 2 channel mixer on the front so they can be driven from both my Mac and PC
  8. Interesting, I did a school educational cruise in '77. We were on the SS Uganda (later to be a hospital ship in the Falklands). We visited Israel, but missed out on Egypt. Still want to go there some day . . . (still happy with P3D )
  9. Way back when I couldn't pronounce my worms properly, I thought that elocution was a form of capital punishment . . .
