^amazing details on those

Yeah Loops. I have built 5 aircraft in a row. Time to change it up. Plus I want to get my wife used to motorcycles. Then when I buy one again, I wont have to hide it from her

I want her to learn to ride. We can be one of those riding couples.

^ It's a lot cheaper on Amazon

**Edmond** · 06-06-2023, 04:27 PM

^ The purchase hasn't gone through yet. Which is odd.

It's either out of stock or the family have cut me off.

Please be out of stock.

**Reg Dingle** · 06-06-2023, 04:32 PM

Even cheaper on Ebay.

Theres a pre built one on there for half the price with load of spare parts

**Bettyboo** · 06-06-2023, 05:26 PM

There's a good thread some lad did 13 years ago based on photos of the female soldiers of the Vietnam war.

Many have been lost to Lulu's 'You Rock' image hosting update, but most still remain.

Great thread. I think I remember that one in all its original glory.

Looks like 4 gun Davis will have his hands full here if he wants to raid her foxhole

She is sporting a rough and ready jungle backpack that our very own Viet jungle adventurer Katie would approve of I think

She feels very skinny through her navy communist pyjamas but I think that is the result of the Victor Charlie plain rice diet

I have not had the timerity to peak underneath her togs while she is still simmering about her box getting raided

At the risk of getting pulled up for posting drinks in the impulse buy thread by Willy and Stumpy, I thought I would pass favourable comment on the very quaffable Hook Norton honey-colour Haymaker Pale Ale 5%ABV I supped on while watching Blackberry this evening

The label claims to be 'like sunshine dancing on the tongue' and who am I to argue, with the cute little picture of the Cotswolds horse and hay-cart. Ooh-aaahr!

**Bettyboo** · 08-06-2023, 11:44 AM

Looper is a very bad man...

**Edmond** · 08-06-2023, 12:26 PM

^ Screw that.

This.

Is.

Sparta.

Chucked all the cutlery in the sink and the cutlery holder is now the pitstop technical area.

Loops just how much does it cost you a month to live the childhood you could never afford

**Bettyboo** · 08-06-2023, 01:03 PM

^ Edmond won't be completing that!

**cyrille** · 08-06-2023, 01:21 PM

It's a bit surprising that he hasn't mentioned how the project fits in with his exercise plans.

**Bogon** · 08-06-2023, 01:25 PM

^ Simple.

He collects the tears of frustration in a 1 litre bottle and drinks it during his workout for motivation.

It would be nice if the parts were bagged up and numbered per page of the manual in which they are required.

Best of luck Edmond.

Talking of putting together fiddly bits, I've bought an Arduino starter kit so I can give some extra (free) tuition to the guy in the village I helped over New Year. He's been cutting my grass and looking after my dogs since we left so deserves a bit of extra help.

I have a couple of projects he might be interested in doing with me. A home hydroponic garden, an irrigation system and a multi channel intercomm so the MIL can communicate with several areas of the house, garden and entrances. Start off simple but have some good end goals that might help out in the village as well.

Got lots of that stuff...

(Taught it as a project at uni to liven up a quite boring engineering theory course...) - got the students to make bluetooth cars to be controlled by their phones; easy enough. I was thinking about adding a solar panel to mine, giving it some core goals, adding a neuro engine and making it autonomous - seeing if it could survive... Haven't got around to it yet, but I have a 4 week holiday coming up so...
