Well, they keep it simple for the pilots! What on earth is the Boeing Paranoia Pin? Or do I really not want to know?

I believe it is next to the Aircrew proximity detector, which when activated causes all sorts of random malfunctions. This is of course over-ridden by the techy proximity switch which clears the malfunctions, but only while the techy is there.

TBH I don't care if it is accurate. In fact the thought of having an accurate drama about DOTR is the last thing I would want.

I simply reckon that it is the best drama on the idiot's lantern at the moment.

I doubt that Judge John Deed was that accurate. but it was damned good entertainment, similarly Silent Witness.

Just watched two episodes of spooks back to back, wonderful escapism. Happy days.

Good isn't it?

I'm actually thinking The Professionals is more accurate than Spooks...

I was tempted to ask how you would know, but I don't want you to have to shoot me.

I remember 100% Simulator training being talked about when I worked for Link Miles (simulator company). I left there in 1991. In 2003 I met my my first "Cat D" (100% ground training) sim.

This is fascinating stuff, Doctorjeff. What is HCI?

In this context I believe it is Human Computer Interfacing.

I was in the Middle East for a while and had no trouble driving on the right out there and on the left here when I came back on holiday. What I did find a little more difficult was when I finished out there, driving my LHD Jeep which I brought back with me, on the left side of the road.

Doctor Jeff - did you work in flight simulation for a while?

Seems to want to yaw to the right all the time.

Also very easy to put into a flat spin.

Virtually no circuit breakers.

I wish Mrs Oggy liked anchovies. It would give me a much freer hand when I am cooking.

Tony - have you tried Opie's organic capers? I reckon they are head and shoulders above other capers.

Yup. The 200-400 @ £5k was out of my budget and that was why I ruled out Nikon.

I had occasion to look at our boiler recently. It's in a cupboard in the kitchen, which is seldom opened (the cupboard not the kitchen). When I opened the doors I found that there had been a couple of previous visitors and they had fallen out.

My thoughts - the knee-ectome and the bright background/shadow/glint.

Any further critique appreciated.

Thankyou for looking.

The particular lens I looked at suffers from slow AF so it would not have been a step forward.
