Just saw this. Sad that we've lost such an incredible actor. Saw him live on stage doing a one-man performance of "A Christmas Carol" where he played all the roles. It was amazing.

Never tried shooting while blindfolded? You don’t know what you’re missing.

Going back to newbie spoofs, my all time favourite was in a workshop where the old hand was showing a young lad how to work a piece of metal on a grinding wheel. He was merrily grinding away with sparks flying when, surreptitiously, he moved the metal away from the wheel. "Quick!" he yelled to...

My friend boarded a flight to Helsinki and I haven't seen him since. He just vanished into Finnair.

Putting the "I have my coat on" warning up front this time (yes...it's THAT bad!). A frog did an Ancestry genetics test. The results came back that he was substantially French, a good bit of German..... and just a tad Pole.

My education continues. Today I learned two things: 1. I am not too old to sit in a beanbag chair. 2. I am too old to get out of a beanbag chair.

The P-66 wasn't very robust and had a tendency to ground-loop, which is odd given its wide-stance undercarriage. The RAF evaluated it as an advanced trainer for service in Canada but even that wasn't a suitable use for the aircraft, so they were all fobbed off on China. My guess is that the...
