    That's what several people at the SF Zoo said last night. A tiger
    escaped from the enclosure and attacked 3 people. 1 dead, 2 in serious
    condition.

    Yes - well nitro-methane (with methanol afaik), but they seem to be
    referred to as nitro as opposed to petrol or battery powered. It's one
    of these: http://www.hpieurope.com/kit-info.php?partNo=10511

    Nonsense. Any other country with =~80% of one particular ethnic group
    would be termed more or less homogeneous. The flag is the Magen David.
    The logo of the country is the Menorah. Israel is a Jewish state and that
    you're not getting roundly ridiculed by everyone for trying to claim the
    opposite, is only because the 'targets' on this particular occasion are Des
    and the Jews.

    Heh. I've had the errors of my ways pointed out, several times.

    Apparently the worse one was a little before the 1st wedding
    anniversary - "paper". I've been buying aircraft mags since about age
    8 and I've got every one I ever bought catgalogued & filed (yes, I
    know, what a James May). But in my student and early working days
    when money was a little tight I missed the odd copy and so on. So
    other half though getting me the missing copies would be a good
    present, which t would have been, had I not I suddenly decided to go
    to the Aviation Bookshop in Tunbridge Wells about a month before the
    anniversary and buy up a job lot of back issues. I wasn't very
    popular.

    On the good side, I got a new camera instead :)

    When t'other half's "sports car" is fixed I'm going to try to persuade
    her that a track day or two would be a laugh before she gets the
    repaint done....

    I do assume that you took immediate action with that open mouth in true UKRM
    style?

    I did a half day near Chipping Norton and it involved far more than two
    laps.

    :) Amazing place. I've bought stuff from them for 25 years or more,
    from when they were based in Archway and I lived nearby.
