Yep, these are Canada geese - I could see the Maple leaf roundels !
Hopefully, they'll b*gg*r off back across the Pond in a couple of weeks !

Complain all you want, but they sure are tasty cut up into chunks, wrapped in bacon and cooked over coals on the grill.
p.s. I'm talking about the goose meat, not their ordnance.

Got to catch or down the batids first though - and I think the local Police would have something to say if I let loose with an AK 47, up between the buildings !!
Just watching a program called "flying through time " about the F-14.
So far I have learned it has 2 x 20mm cannon and is based on the earlier Grumman product the F-111 !
How do such stupid errors get through ?
Oops there's another.
Talking about the movie top gun, cue footage of an F-4 Phantom being launched.
Seriously

Here in town, we have a plague of Canadian Geese.
They have decided that the climate and forage in town and the surrounding area is just right for their needs and have made it a permanent home.
People are claiming "global warming" and all that nonsense but think about it for a moment: if you were constantly flying thousands of miles a year to find good food, a safe place to stay and nice weather and spotted a single place that fullfilled all your needs, wouldn't you stay put also?
The downside to all of this, is they poop all over the parks and sidewalks, chase people and pets, wander out into the road and all sorts of general mayhem.
Canada...come get your
birds!!

Next time a Canada Goose comes at you with it's wings out and hissing, return the favor with your arms out, head forward and hiss back. They usually back down. After all, you are much bigger.
Well grumman did make the F-111B, and that was a swing-wing aircraft...

Right...and you do realize that while you're doing the Martial Art form of the Drunken Monkey (or rabid weasel), you're leaving your nuggets exposed for a lighting swift (and usually most accurate) attack by the brave Goose?

Just received an email response about a dormant account I put a claim in for. My dad said an account was opened in '57 by my grandfather and then lost in '61. The BC Unclaimed Property Society would like my grandfathers birth/death certificate and a copy of my family tree. The people who would have had those have long since passed on. My contact person for the Society appears to be on a very long coffee break.

Friggin' rained all day...
It was repeated this morning so I watched the end, wish I hadn't !
It said the Grumman legacy carries on in the F-35 !
All because they build components for Lockheed, bit of a tenuous link if you ask me ?
What !
How did they let that happen ?
Yeah I'd like to know that too, what is this rain stuff, i thought it was all kept for you guys up there all year round!
It's global warming, it's nice and sunny here today, world's gone mad mate !
I hear on that one!

Another bl**dy wasted day, third on the run, due to extreme pain and stiffness. Couldn't get out of bed until 19.00 hrs, and can still hardly move. Really p*ssed off with this !

That sucks Terry. We need you up and about to do battle with those geese!
The last few weeks I've been running through The Winds of War/War and Remembrance. Now I really love this mini series and think it is an amazing accomplishment, and I can forgive some of the little inaccuracies like using an early '50s truck in a sequence, but when E.G. Marshall playing Eisenhower steps out of a car to visit the 101st at an airfield before D-Day and over his shoulder is the tail of a B-52 I 've just gotta say something. Same scene a few seconds later the camera is pulling away from the crowd and a B-17 and I swore you can see a bit of an F-15 peaking out from behind a Hanger.
