  1. First one is Beech. Second one is going to annoy me....
  2. Took off in the grounds of Shuttleworth College Bedfordshire. Landed about 15 miles away in Ashwell. At speed. In a field. On our side!!! Bloody good fun though!! When we were over the A1, The pilot told everyone to get their camera etc ready and opened up all the vents on one side and we spun 360' on the spot, just as the sun was starting to set. Absolutely amazing. I've still got a few more pics but the old computer is taking its time tonight!!
  3. Pics aren't great quality because it was kind of last minute so all I had was my phone
  4. Hot Air Balloons are awesome!! I managed to get a free ride on one last year, it took off at about 5ish and we landed just as the sun was going down. I've got some photos on my phone but because you can't stand far enough back, all the picutres look like I've been Super-imposed on!!!
  5. What a piece of crap that saw was!!! The sad thing is, unless you bothered to look, you'd assume that the picture he had obviously ripped off the Stihl catologue was a genuine one!! Imagine how gutted you'd be when that thing turned up for 500 notes!!!:thumbdown:
  6. Stavros Flatley actually made me laugh out loud and I'd like to see em win it. If talent has to prevail then it SHOULD be Diversity, I've got a feeling that Susan Boyle will snatch it though.
  7. Nice one Cerne. Cheers for taking the time to post. I still think it was a Pimp Tree for the Second Picture!!!!
  8. Black Walnut, Pimp Fir and The Swedish Continental Breakfast Tree.
  9. Nice work Matt. Is that Beech in Ashwell?
  10. I can't see anything mate.
  11. When I was about 4 or 5 my Mum caught me and my brother running up and down on top of our old asbestos garage roof. She went nuts. Next month or so she caught me happily cutting through all the indicator wiring in her car with scissors. Happy days
  12. I realise that this story could've come across badly. This lad was a severly nasty piece of work, and a bully to boot. I'm not excusing what was done as we were all bullied by him at one point or other. I'm not advocating bullying either, merely confessing one of the many stupid things that I did at school. I apologise if I have upset anyone. Tom
  13. There was a guy at our school that no-one really liked very much so a few people decided that they'd make up that he was caught participating in a vigourous bout of self abuse on the school skiing trip. The poor (innocent) lad was then given the nickname "Friction" and was forced to transfer schools not long after as he used to get the Micheal ripped out of him non-stop for every moment he was in school. Pretty funny then, and very funny now. Although, he probably doesn't see it like that....
  14. Respect!!! You can imagine them loading the truck in the morning, "Leave the 88 in the shed Pavel, I'm feeling lucky today!!" Rather them than me....
  15. I support Blackburn and Shearer was, and still is, one of my Heros. But I agree with Mark. After 38 games, your position in the table is where you deserve to be. I don't think that anyone would have been able to save them in 8 games with that squad of players. I been watching fans on the telly saying "we're too good to go down" etc. But the fact of the matter is, they didn't win enough games. Mike Ashley is a shambles and they appointed Shearer thinking that he'd motivate the dressing room. It was never going to happen and if you appoint a manager with no experience, this is what you get. We had Paul Ince and look what he did. And that was with a few seasons experiance at Milton Keynes and Macclesfield. I do hope that Shearer is allowed to change things to how he wants it, and I genuinley would like to see Newcastle back in the Premier League. I just can't see it happening for a couple of years....
  16. Blackburn Rovers NOT getting hammered week in/week out. Knowing that I can have a lie in. My Fiancee. Not Necessassarily in that order...
  17. John, Do you know if you need to change the clutch to put a postitioner on a flip line?
  18. I scratched mine too mate and you have my sympathies!!! It hurts like hell and wouldn't stop weeping!! The nurse "popped" my eyelid, I have absolutley no idea how she managed it, and dropped some dye into it to locate the scratch. Everything went yellow and I felt like the Terminator for an afternoon!!! Then she went "I've just noticed, You have very nice eyes" while I have tears rolling down my face and yellow dye everywhere. After sitting in A and E for a couple of hours, I genuinley didn't know what to say to her!!!
  19. You should've told her that you'd take it to the tip for her for £30!!!
  20. Christ mate!! Feel better now??!? 001_tongue:
