Why is the vertical stabiliser on the Lancaster so scalloped? Is it fabric?

Sorry, it is not legally public domain. He took it, he owns it. You need to get permission from him(?) first before using it.

During hurricane season? Have you read the news recently? The Mexican army is putting everyone on planes & sending them north.

There is a really good joke in there.....

Thus the discount.

I think it's in November. Might be cold then but Hurricane season should be over.

Hurricane season officially ends on November 30th, although I can hardly recall one in November in all of the 53 years I have lived in Florida.
September is the peak month.

Why doncha offer to save 'em some money? Buy 'em each a case of Hendrick's and hand them a bag to crap into. You can also slip them some apomorphine or syrup of ipecac for the real showstopper later.

Status: offline 		I'm beginning to wonder if Admiral Lord Sprior discovered a big cache of Thai sticks in Tavoy. He sent me a turn from the previous day of battle.

Saw a picture of Pocahantas Girl's new "boyfirend" (who is 16 or 17 or 18 years younger than her). He is the Rico Suave type. He would be well cast as a Latin-American drug kingpin. In fact he kinda looks like the selfie monkey in human form.

Speaking of monkeys, I went to the Angels game last night. They have already clinched the AL West so Scioscia benched Trout and Pujols and some others. As a consequence, nobody could get a hit. Finally, in the eighth someobody got an infield hit and then someone else got on base with an error so they trot out the "Rally Monkey".

The is a white faced Kapuchin with an Angels jersey and he jumps up and down and waves his arms and bares his teeth as monkeys are given to do. Then the other 40,000 simians in the park are supposed to do the same thing. There were two middle-aged women with LPGA haircuts next to us who seemed to come alive with joyous celebration when the rally monkey came out. They clutched their own rally monkey talismans to their bosoms. One had this black short hair and a face which had never been hit by a photon and she stuck out her chin and held her talisman and it occurred to me she had literally BECOME the rally monkey. So I am trying to point the is out to Stalker Girl because it is funnier than Hell but a crowd wave is approaching so she doesn't hear me so I raise my voice....

"THAT WOMAN IN THE GREY NEXT TO <wave approaches> YOU <wave passes, noise falls> SHE LOOKS LIKE THE FREAKING RALLY MONKEY

Stalker Girl looks over..."I think you said that too loud" <starts laughing>

I hide behind SG for about 30 seconds then I lean forward a bit and rally monkey girl is staring straight at me and she is PISSED. Evidently she took offense. I went back to hiding.

You should have added " ... not that there's anything wrong with that."
Apparently this intonation allows you to be politically incorrect and correct all in the same sentence! FREE PASS!

Well, maybe that would work if you said it right away but not after the aggrieved party is staring at you, grinding their teeth.

It is the Perspex, probably combined with the fact that the old girl was hot from sitting in the sun for a while and the pics were taken on a phone rather than with an actual camera.

And now back to your scheduled programming.
