I think so, but I went to Shoreham last year and everyone got sunburnt so maybe not :D

Soggy Sunday at RIAT, Soggy Duxford USA Day, Soggy Silverstone WAC, Soggy Duxford Autumn Airshow.... Turweston was a scorcher though, freak of nature event or something!


you missed the Iconic meet at RIAT on the Sunday then

I'll take that as a warning!

Not a fan of white goods then?

:( I know, I was a member of ukARSE at that time and I wasn't invited to their little soiree/fanclub/clique.

I was a miserable cowbag at RIAT, would have fitted in well with the "dark side".

White goods? I love my white goods. I used my iWasher this morning, just made a cuppa with my iKettle and put some porridge in the iMicrowave. Not impressed with the iSink though, it hasn't done my washing up yet, think it's broken :(

I have the same problem with my isink too; it must be a common fault with them :(

Yeah but I am not keen on the Aps, I tried to upgrade my iCat to an iDog and all I have now is the same lazy cat that sits on the sofa, eats me out of house and home but now it barks.

I'm trying to do some study.....but motivation is a problem at present. I just can't seem to summon up any enthusiasm for education reforms, and the role that the Institute for Learning plays in enforcing & monitoring them..... X(

No it wasn't that wet but it was windy, grey, bloody cold and generally miserable. The sun come out from 4:15-4:30 though so I suppose I should stand corrected and count myself lucky ;)
