spotted today departing and arriving the World Travel Market [2] in
some style in Victoria Dock next to Excel. Taking the piss a bit as
City airport is within spitting distance.

Twin Otter. Kewl. Wish I'd seen it.

You might like my father's form of words. "We beat you lot. Twice."

Nice commuter tool...

 

Thrice.

Remember, our lot bought Rover?

 

True. I well remember literally hearing the roar from Wembley. We only lived
a mile or so away, and by heaven, you could hear it.

<grin> OK, we're good at getting our own back. I also like the quote used in
Sliders; "The reason the sun never set on the British Empire is that God
didn't trust the British in the dark. "

Ali

 

I like that immensely.

 

Me too. I've no clue who originated it: I don't think it was Tracy Torme,
who wrote most of the first season of Sliders.

Ali

 

Superb. Knew a bird with one of them - was on a mission to land on every
Scottish loch, but eventually came a cropper when she/it struck a log.

****'im. Should've asked to see his SS tattoo.

 

Excellent.

Perfidious Albion Waives the Rules.

 

I lived 400 miles away and I've never stopped hearing about it.

 

Always was a dog, though.

 

Didn't know they did floating ones. We get them down here but with
skis on.

 

They prolly use the Otter at home.
They own an Island in the Channel Island Groups, (Burro I think, but am
normally wrong ;o) )

It's one thing I loved about Vancouver. What a way to commute.

You've muddled www.theberkeleys.co.uk with the Barclay twins, haven't
you.

 

Très old, I doubt it originated with Sliders, whatever that was (a
TV series?).

Yup, a skiffy one, with the lovely John Rhys Davies. Went to, oh, five
seasons, as I recall.

Hmm, it never made it to Switzerland at the time AFAIR. Sounds
very much like a very old thing starring James Darren, IIRC. Ah yes,
Time Tunnel. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0060036/ though I believe it's
been used a few times since.
