    Me (& old man) bought new Microlight :D

    needs quite a bit of restoration :dremel:, but it'll look like this eventually:

    It's an old-ish Gemini Flash 2, the one we've got was £750, but theres roughly £300 of work to do, and hefty reliscensing fees

    lol, well I've tried quite a few other design programmes, including Cobalt, and I must say, the most fun to be had is on Sketchup... I think its the whole community thing... and jezmck's collection...

    It's really cheap to run, with a weedy 'lil engine, but since your going in a straight line, you beat the car everytime :)

    I raced my parents up to wales from Halton airfield (nearish london) in a friends Peggy, I arrived in one hour 30, beating them by a good two hours (Stuck on the M25, not really applicable to me :D)
    Shame I can't land in the field behind my house :lol:

    Kinder Bueno are simply awesome... I don't know how they get that nutty filling so smooth, but it's heaven.

    *drools* It'd be so good on toast... In fact, you could make a sort of fancy cheese on toast with a couple of bueno with some bread.

    You've used Cobalt?? As in the Ashlar-Vellum one? We had that at school, and I've never heard of anyone / workplace using it since...

    3 pairs new Levis, 5 t shirts, 12 pair socks, and the obligatory (my wife's idea) boxer shorts.

    Oh and a new billfold. the old one is pretty sad and needs to be put out of my wife's misery.
