General Chat

Too late Ken the RCAF is already buying used F18 Hornets from the Ozzies.
The RCAF relies on various versions of the Hornet going all the way from now to 1980.

Various ways to ug to a modern MRCA frame have been considered but all rejected for reason of cost. The F35 remains a possibility.

Even the latest versions of the Hornet would not stand a chance against current Russian front line aircraft. It is not only the polar bears who are worried about melting ice.

iskra!

No Sylvia he defo said Canada not Russia :-D

Are they worried about melting ice has anyone actually surveyed them? :-)

Sylvia.....ice pellets right now......

Caroline ..............

I just thought he was confused, or hadn't read the news items thoroughly ;-)


I don't like the sound of ice pellets


We have snow ....... the radio says "light snow", but it's more than that where I live!

Light freezing rain now and Rollo misread something.....never!

No polar bears around here either. They can't get across the M25 without mishap.

No, I hadn't misread anything.

Oooh - who's forgotten his tiny URL?

Sorry fell asleep half way through that rambling possibly bias report....did I miss the Polar bear comments??

And Maggie size doesn't always matter........

So what does Caroline think the RCAF multi billion dollar budget is for ?
Wing walking ?
And the next gen submarines ?

First it's not for Polar bears or complying possibly bias reports....second....the Snowbirds of course.....

So Rollo why not ask the same of others oh right I'm the only one mocking.....

I want a polar bear, we only have drongos, sorry, dingoes here :-( ;-)

We have coyotes very similar to dingoes....promise next time I see a Polar bear wandering down the street I'll point him/her in your direction Allan :-D

I'll send you one of our drop bears

:-D :-D

Trivialising the fate of Yr own country. Pathetic.
Stick with Allan and yellow submarines.

Yes, how very dare you trivialise the fate of your own country - when it's RTR's job!

I mean, his turning every bl**dy post into a 'RTR's view on Brexit' is soooooo
un-enlightening on a genealogical forum.
I wouldn't say so much trivialising, as just plain boring.

Find yourself a political forum to flaunt your alleged political knowledge - have a 'proper' political 'discussion' with people who want to hear.
That's what the rest of us who want to 'talk politics' do.

How's this for trivia; I think that Australians must be the only people who consume the two animals that appear on the National Coat of Arms :-D

I think you might indeed be the only ones!

I was told by someone who had experienced it that girls brought from the Pacific islands and put into boarding schools in Australia were constantly fed kangaroo.

I must say that I liked kangaroo the only time I've had it ............. served with a berry sauce.

"Trivialising the fate of Yr own country. Pathetic.

Yeah never actually did that as I didn't really make a serious comment on my beloved country.....but hang on.....don't you slag off the UK every chance you get???
I'm many things..knackered being the main one right now having shoveled again....but pathetic I am not sweetie. If you want to slag Canada off at least stick to one main subject one minute it's Polar bears roaming the streets then it's subs and planes....no country is without fault so don't even go there Rollo :-)

and I'd gladly stick with Allan he's good company......as long as he brings his didgeridoo.... :-D :-D
