Pretty rare beast these days I think. Should be interesting if they can get it out and maybe do some restoration

I'm not sure about the restoration though, after so long in the sea a restoration would likely involve building a new aeroplane. They aren't too sure how she'll react when she's pulled out either so they got some specially designed storage ready (at Cosford I think). Maybe they'll display her like the Halifax at Hendon in 'as found/recovered' condition.

I'm joking about syntax, as DivePac was, what is the subject of the sentence and the object, etc.. I'm sure they were both in excellent shape. I should note that DivePac nailed me, and my response was lame at best.

When I was a kid, I was better than most at diagramming sentences, but I hated it just as much as all the other kids. I still managed to avoid learning many things, I just have a rule, if it sounds good, go with it. For instance, I don't know what makes a verb transitive different than any other verb, plus if someone starts talking about Latin declensions, I get really irritated. Amo, amat, amas, yada yade yado. I beg of all of you, puhleese do not explain these things to me, you will do me irreparable harm.

I'm afraid I may be forced to bean you with a Rosetta Stone.

Sorry to have gone over your head, whoosh. Do you have some sort of cloaking device? I keep looking at who is in the forum and "warspite 1" never appears.

geofflambert -> RE: DO-17 (5/4/2013 3:40:13 AM)
Oops, I just saw it, it just appeared. You must have had to lower your shields in order to fire another zinger.

"Content free zone"? Do you mean like Dan Quayle? I have always admired that man as a role model.

Otherwise it's a mortal sin.

Stop It you Two! Now kiss and make-up. [sm=00001746.gif]

geofflambert -> RE: DO-17 (5/4/2013 4:22:06 AM)
Oh, I couldn't sleep, I was somehow aroused. DivePac, "kiss and make up"? Have you taken a look at my lips? Come to think of it, how would you accomplish that with that beak of yours? I bet if you make to do that with someone, you, when they are most vulnerable, pluck their eyeballs out!

geofflambert -> RE: DO-17 (5/4/2013 4:44:29 AM)
Well, Napoleon abandons the field, apparently ceding the victory to Welly, but then Welly, the sleepy head retires as well. Suddenly, Gneisenau arrives seeking to collect all the booty for himself. Whaddaya know? Napoleon returns, refusing the flank. Gneisenau ruffles his feathers and departs, history is changed forever. Oh, what a flank anulus I am.

Should be interesting if they can get it out and maybe do some restoration From the local news last night the body is actually in poor shape being aluminium, the sea water has played havoc with it. The boffins have decided the best way to remove the salt is to wash it in citric acid (lemon juice) and this they are going to do by placing it in a poly tent and spraying for a year. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-22380915
