Today a herd of Yellow Jackets decided to take over my office. After I killed the 5th one, I thought it better to call the professionals and get the hell out of Dodge.

If I remeber right, they used the Vultee BT-15 as Japanese aircraft for Tora! Tora! Tora!
While that may be forgivable since period Japanese warplanes are so scarce, I do get irritated when I see movies like Battle Of The Bulge using cold-war era armor for German panzers (U.S. M60)

A long, long, time ago I thought I read they were mostly converted AT-6's. My mind is like a steal trap, but it's starting to rust a bit so I may be mistaken.

Age is creeping up on me too...lol
The AT-6 was used for the Zero and the BT-15 was used for the Vals, I believe

Yeah, I was referring to the hanger/pby blowing up scene. The old WW2 era movies used U.S. equipment painted to look like Japanese aircraft.

But that was such a good scene, why not share it with everyone?
Yu know, we could do a contest to see who can find every movie and TV show that used that sequence!

Damn customers at work, "Yes, sir, sorry sir" as I walk into the kitchen "Idiot F*****!" (I'm a waiter when I'm home from university)
Moaning over such trivial things, so bad that another customer complained about them moaning...

In Short, Spain thinking that we would even contemplate giving
back Gibralter. Sort out the financial situation of your mainland before trying to claim more land that you cant economically support.

Chris, it's fairly obvious that 'Spain' (i.e. their Government) are attempting to divert public attention from their internal problems, by giving the populace something else to latch onto, in the form of re-claiming sovereignty of a lump of rock that they haven't previously had interest in, and can't afford to administer anyway.
Now where have we seen that before, I think it might have been in 1982, a bit further south ......

I think it's just a show of Spanish political strength and a tactic to divert the publics attention from the economic issues at home, trying to win votes. Even so, legally it was signed over to "us" under an agreement not like HK for example where it was a 100 year lease.
When i read yesterday about us dispatching a "Task Force" it just echoed Mrs T's actions for another of our satellite countries, although being born in 1983 means I didn't experience it first hand.

Funny how, when the Spanish want to throw their weight around, they do things to hurt the Gibraltarians. Then they wonder why the Gibraltarians refuse to have anything to do with Spain. Hmm. Can anyone see a causal link?

Someone has been calling here lately and as soon as I answer the phone, they hang up. I don't have caller ID because I don't want to pay extra for it, but I am really considering it.
Not only does it piss me off, but it takes a hell of an effort for me to wheel my azz across the house to catch the phone to start with.
And to top that off, while I was typing this post, a fire-bomber came right over my place low and slow and I couldn't get to my
camera in time!
Beer-thirty is coming early today...

Planes of Fame just happens to own one of the Tora, Tora, Tora movie Val's. It was flown as recently as the airshow at Chino in May.

Tonight I watched a documentary on the CBC series 'The Passionate Eye' which was about how Pakistan is aiding in the training and arming of
the Taliban. If any of the Coalition Countries are still sending aid to Pakistan, they are idiots!
Might as well shoot and blow up our troops ourselves.

Caller ID is well worth it. I don't answer the phone if I don't know who it is. If it's important to them they can leave a message.Someone has been calling here lately and as soon as I answer the phone, they hang up. I don't have caller ID because I don't want to pay extra for it, but I am really considering it.

To hell with Caller ID (I do happen to have it for work reasons), but don't answer the GODDAM PHONE!!! It's Pavlov's response for idiots. Ignore the fricken phone. I wish I could convice my wife of same.
Even though we are on the DO NOT CALL LIST we still get soliciting calls from everbody from firefighters, to police unions, to robo-calls and even to political surveys. I no longer give them a human courtesy of saying goodbye, because they usually hang up in my face. F*ck them all. And I don't care about looser low lifes that have jobs with these phonebanks bitching about my lack of courtesy and how tough their jobs are. Go f*ck yourselfs and your intrusive professional endeavors.

That is all I have to say about that.

Agree Matt. I'm on a no call list and I still get calls from N.Y., N.J. and Fla.(I've won 3 cruises this month alone.) I'm still waiting for Habib to call back about a computer virus on a comp. that I no longer have. And if the wife's not home, the answering machine is working double time.

I've gotten the computer virus call too. They are so bold as to say this is a call from India and give a number if asked for a follow up that is a legit regional number. Americans must be complete and utter dumbshits otherwise this would not be lucrative.

Yeah, I get the occasional "this is your computer security center" calls (said with heavy Hindu accents) and I tell them "I have an iPad, so now what?" 
But seriously, I need to get calls regarding doctors and therapy and lawyers and insurance and stuff right now, otherwise I wouldn't anser the effin' thing...
I will get the caller ID connected and find out who is doing this, and there will be an ass-kicking as a result.
