Well done to your neighbour - pretty good footage. I'd love to have seen that!

I reckon it would be the Eastern Airways Saabs holding overhead while waiting for Scatsta to open.

We had lunch at the St Magnus Bay Hotel yesterday - superb food! All three courses were perfect - main courses were very big portions. The 'Bestest ever sticky toffee pudding' was indeed the bestest ever sticky toffee pudding

We're just back from Leuchars - awesome airshow you put on there! Swept wing F3s looked great. Typhoon display was pretty impressive too. Wish we got a bit more low-flying action up here..

And du wid a done weel to tak your own advice afore slaggin my wife aff in another thread on here.

IIRC it was about £170 cheaper. Hydro had no stock left and said it would take a month to get more in. Had they had it in stock and the price difference was £50ish I would have bought it from the Hydro shop instead.

Cool I think I only paid the £5 as I forgot to select the 'free supersaver delivery option'

I bought a 40" Samsung LCD TV from Amazon last year - delivery was a fiver. I paid for it Monday night and was watching it by Friday lunchtime The link to Amazon just mentions 30kg as the weight limit - I think their example of the 26" telly would refer to the weight of a big old lump of a CRT TV.

Try Ewen Johnson Shooting Supplies in Bigton. Could probably buy direct from him at a lower cost...

Other than a digital slr camera from The Camera Centre (cheaper than several places online) I can't remember the last non-food item I bought in the toon. Not so recently, I went to the computer shop (now pet shop) to buy a couple of bits of software. Not in stock.. but instead, the guy serving gave me a computer magazine and said to look in there as it would be far cheaper to buy online No wonder it's shut! I attempted to buy an LCD telly last year. Bolts were around £100 dearer than the Hydro shop. The Hydro shop didn't have one left of the model I wanted but said they could get it for me... in a month or so.. Instead I tried Amazon - another £100 cheaper. Paid for it Tuesday morning and received it Friday morning. Shipping was a fiver. I did get a bargain in Harry's however. A couple of limited edition F1 diecast cars were on sale at £35 - I bought em both and sold them on ebay for a £120 profit. So it ain't all bad on the street

Very safe... unguarded planes sitting there overnight... staff could be blackmailed into sneaking something over the fences or through the access gates.. Terrorists will always find a way... Please note - I am not a terrorist

The "Mach Loop" in Wales. Scenery was great too. http://i225.photobucket.com/albums/dd288/crieffy/D300/_JJM9784.jpg http://i225.photobucket.com/albums/dd288/crieffy/D300/_JJM9803.jpg

Dunna be daft! Hard enough to see an otter, let alone get a photo of one I was just very fortunate that day. Not that particular photo, though I've tried others in the past. Might try again next year if it falls in the right category

Ness otters. http://i225.photobucket.com/albums/dd288/crieffy/D300/_JJM0114.jpg They're occasionally seen crossing the runway to get from coast to coast - bit quicker than swimming around Sumburgh Head.
