2 spitfires (1 from the Flying Heritage Collection and 1 from the Historic Flight museum) and 1 ME-109 will fly on August 20th.

So which air museum did you go to?

Paul Allen's Flying Heritage Collection at Payne Field in Everett, WA

I wonder when he opened it up? When I was there it was strickly private, with Paul Allen occassionally loaning a plane to the Mueseum of Flight at Boeing field.

Bolts aren't ugly. Just sturdy. And Hurri's aren't nearly as pretty as a nice Spit.

We did! I don't care what anyone says, the Europa league is still a major trophy to be won so I'm glad we have qualified for Europe again (even if it is the poor man's Champions League)! When was the last time Liverpool failed to qualify for Europe

Mixed emotions about sending Birmingham down, after all they did beat Arsenal in the League Cup

Most upset about the Tangerines . I would like to have seen Blackpool stay up. Spurs did their best to help them keep top flight status by giving them 4 points out of 6 but it was not enough....

Yep!

The question now is weather the key players would stay for another season...

I seriously doubt that 4 Croatian players would stay:

Modric
Kranjcar
Corluka
Pletikosa

Hi all,

quote:

ORIGINAL: DivePac88

Just heard that a friend that I made when I was in hospital has pasted away. He was a real nice old guy, and we did a lot of talking, as you can when your both stuck in hospital.

He had fallen off his back porch, and badly broken his arm. He had been in good health for a seventy year old before the fall. Then he had a mild heart attack on the way to hospital, then kidney and liver problems in hospital.

But all he wanted was to get home, and wasn't telling the Doctors everything. His last test to get home was to walk up ten stairs, and he saved up a weeks worth of painkillers so he could do it. After he passed the test, he waited for his medical team to leave, then he passed-out.

I now wonder if I should of reported what I knew to the medical staff. But he had made promise not to, and I thought that was more important. Well I know he died where he wanted to be, and maybe that was also the right thing too.

Rest in peace my Friend.

Sorry to hear Des...

Leo "Apollo11"

I've read Modric already saying things like "it will be difficult watching the Champions League on TV" so I think it possible he will be off soon. I would like to keep Corluka, but Kranjcar can go anytime. While skillful at times, he is just too slow - he could be English (except the skill part)

Kranjcar did score some crucial (victory) goals this spring season but coach didn't give him proper chance... shame...

In other news, I found out today that Mrs. McDull (my former friend at my soon-to-be-former job) broke off her connection on Facebook with another woman, for no other reason than the fact that I'm friends with her.

I've never wanted to have any connection outside of work with McD, but she seems to think I'd be trying to indirectly stalk her or something. Very strange...

Sounds an odd duck to me, T.

Some sort of strange waterfowl to be sure...
