Mrs B and I spent a very pleasant day on Saturday at RAF Leuchars Airshow watching a variety of aircraft displays and picking up just a touch of sunburn. The Red Arrows were awesome, the Eurofighter and a Polish Mig 29 did some amazing stuff, there was a flyby by a Nimrod from Lossiemouth (one of th...
Well, there are always the clandestine llama shows, but they tend to be smaller. Getting publicity is tough for llama club. After all the first rule of llama club is... Maybe that is why you put a real llama in a llama suit, to sneak it past the RSPCA (animal welfare) patrols. First you put two peo...
"Memoirs of a British Agent" by R. H. Bruce Lockhart. He was the British Vice-Consul in Moscow at the start of the Great War and then back there during and after the Revolutions. Lot of interesting stuff in it, unfortunately all uncorroborated and he is very egotistic and a real blowhard. ...

I have a hard time taking House seriously considering Hugh Laurie's past appearances on television. Blackadder and The Young Ones He was in The Young Ones? Not as a major character. He was in Jeeves and Wooster, A Bit of Fry and Laurie etc. Is his accent ok? Sounds fine to me but I don't know where...
omaha ... steaks Omaha Steaks are the most over priced and over rated pieces of meat I've ever had. What they sell for $20 a pound is lousy compared to what I can grill up from the grocery store for $8 a pound.
