holy [LIFTED]. my mystery now solved, with me and my friend ages ago with his metal detector at a WW2 airfield in a little forest area I thought his metal detector was broken as we were testing it and literally everywhere it beeped in this forest full of no metal etc which didn't make ANY sense atall As there was nothing, I just went back to that area just now and speaking to a digger he says to me that area was dug by the military and found 92 bombs and detonated them. I was speechless :shock:

needless to say if we go over that area now with the detector it would be silent now :evil:

A house special kebab naan (kebab, shish and chicken tikka on a naan) with chips is more than enough for both me and my gf

Blooming thing came in a pizza box and wouldn't even shut properly, how on earth someone could finish that on their own is beyond me!

Oh, I know a guy (more than one actually) who could quite comfortably pack away a couple of those. Proper greedy barstool, that one.

During testing, the Concorde was put through a barrel roll, but sadly never looped despite apparently being capable of it.

I wish I had video of this.

There's a famous photo of the 707 doing the same thing during test flights.

Been learning more about LiveCode the last few days. It's an interesting platform to work on. I may start planning an invoicing app that front ends a MySQL database (so the data is there, even if the app dies).
