Never had Yorkshire pudding on Christmas Day, but then again never had roast beef on the big day. Sprouts I can take or leave but if I have them it results in all windows open.

Taph, With those locations I assume a Forces man? I completely forgot I spent Christmas in Belmopan in 1981 then departed a couple of days later to spend Hogmany in Beirut. Like you now a man of Kent.

Hottest: Bangkok Coldest: St Petersburg (Russia, not Florida LOL) Wettest: Somewhere in the UK Highest: Islamabad Seasons greetings to all.

Playing marbles in the school playground and in the autumn collecting chestnuts for games of conkers.

I am wary of any sentence my wife starts with the words "what, where, who, when and why". The last one is especially dangerous.

Never forget, it's nice to be important but it's more important to be nice.

My first taste of flightsimming was in 1983 when I bought a Sinclair Spectrum 48k, dug out from my attic last night and pictured here with my current setup. It came with a six pack, but not of beer but computer games. I can recall Horace Goes Skiing and Jet Set Willy were two titles along with a very rudimentary flight simulator which I remember as basically a green screen with gridlines and a black runway.

Definitely spooky. Listening to Marty Robbins singing El Paso, a song I recall listening to in the sixties which my dad played over and over on his little record player. That song and others by Marty has fascinated me over the years. One day, I'll get to El Paso I'm sure.
