Very funny Matt. Just a warning Col. If you buy a Blimp, make sure that you don't loose your tether. :D

Rob,

would that allow us to call you Colonel Blimp (behind your back of course!)?

Hi you insolent colonial you. I would consider it an honour to be so addressed by my fellow pilots. The always say a nickname shows that you have arrived. I'm not sure quite where I have arrived, but I have been given a lot worse epithets than that down the years. It will also remind me that the diet I am on does indeed work. I am now somewhat deflated.:mad:

Brilliant Matt, but it wouldn't cause our intrepid Kytey a nanosecond of worry - one deadly prod from his little pointy stick would be the end of the Blimp's reign of terror. Never underestimate a martinet whose sleeps clutching his little pointy stick....:D:D:D:D:D

Are you sure about that, Kytey? I thought they were talking about your propensity for supergluing yourself to small parts from your kits, such as mgs??? After all from some of your postings this seems to be a regular habit of yours.... :D:D:D:D:D
