1 eye-popping estimate for more roof repairs

Can we expect to hear you have another estimate on the way?

Quote
A practice bomb has gone missing from an aircraft on a routine training flight in Lincolnshire.
Ministry of Defence (MoD) officials believe the bomb was lost by a Harrier from RAF Wittering flying to the Holbeach drop zone.

A ground search of the flight path was ongoing on Tuesday night and police have been informed.

Anyone finding the light blue practice bomb with brown tape around the bottom of it should contact police.

'Small explosive'

The RAF said it was "highly likely" it had landed harmlessly in the sea or on land within the drop zone, but the possibility of it falling into land outside the target area could not be discounted.

An RAF spokesman said: "We are very aware of the risks of flying and safety remains one of our highest priorities.

"An investigation has been convened to determine the cause of the bomb's release.

"A small amount of explosive is contained in the device - roughly in comparison with a commercial firework."

I just have an image Nick Towers with a practice bomb sticking out of the roof  now  point:

Right! I figure my sudden upsurge in this junk has come about because of internet shopping pre Christmas. Some b@st@rd out there, not content with taking my money, has sold their database of email addresses collected to enable "confirmation of order". Once they sell the address to someone then onward selling clearly happens.

I had 67 such emails overnight, last night.  cussing:
Deal with them by pressing the delete button.

The few I get, I deal with by not opening, blocking sender and bouncing to sender, you then do not get any more from that source at least.  whistle:

Never had any spam or junk mail until a little while ago, when someone I know, who  is signed up with an online dating club, must have given it my details, since then I have had all sorts of junk.  noooo:



Right! I figure my sudden upsurge in this junk has come about because of internet shopping pre Christmas. Some b@st@rd out there, not content with taking my money, has sold their database of email addresses collected to enable "confirmation of order". Once they sell the address to someone then onward selling clearly happens.

 rubschin: Lesson learned. Pre Christmas create a Googlemail/Hotmail/Yahoo address, use it over the shopping period and once all goods are received cancel the account.

Well, DUH! Doesn't everyone do that? eeek:

Today is "big announcement day". All departments are being called in separately, as closure of the building is in stages.

The first lot in (about 85 people) originally thought they would be here until June 2009 - this has now been moved forward to October 2008. There have been tears and tantrums.

My area has just had our presentation and, as thought, I am here until the bitter end, which has now been moved forward to March 2009 - which is a bit of a bugger as if it had been June 2009, I would have qualified for another years worth of the very handsome redundancy package. Ah well.

Fourteen more months to go then, with the building getting emptier and emptier. I foresee much forum posting to keep me occupied.

On the plus side, I believe there will be a new Gixxer Thou' in the showrooms for March 2009  cloud9:

The vast majority of the office seem to have taken a certain degree of umbrage at the announcements and have decamped to the local pubs. Sounds like a plan!

No need to run the place to be safe. Just make sure you know and can change all the passwords.
