On the return trip across the Strait on Tuesday , the day was warm and so I went out on the open deck to watch the Sounds go by . I noticed that the only set of davits on that side was empty . I guess the lifeboat that should have been there was away being repair . In its place on the deck below were a couple of extra liferafts and four knotted ropes which I pressumed were there for us passengers to climb down should the need arise . A bit hard case , and not too practicle for older people or little kids .

Yes the gibbs car is the one in the bank ad and Bransons trip across the Channel . Gibbs was going to sell the cars but changed his mind after financing a small production run and decided develop the technology and licence it out instead .

I agree entirely , but the fact that two of these guys have a proven track record for this type of behaviour , and that there is a common thread through all the three cases , coupled to all the suppression orders these three have managed to have implemented and maintained over more than a decade , I believe we need to take a serious look at what has taken place . With all the facts out on public display I think many will see these cases in a different light .

Well now that it is over let's have all the suppression orders lifted on the Police Rape case and then lets see how the public feel about this case , which illustrates so well how defective our legal system is in this area .

A professional photographer wearing a orange jersey standing outside the perimeter fence of a British airfield , was killed by a glider finishing a race he was covering . The report blamed the organizers I believe .

Other Telecom problems are simply that , other problems . The issue here is that Telecom are promoting high speed broadband , for another $10 a month Telecom say they will provide uncapped high speed broadband . What I have ended up with is slower than what I had on a capped Clear plan , coupled to many more outages than I was used to . I feel I have been had , but then I should have learnt from Telecom's CEOs Sydney speech .

During one of the outages , while I was trying to get back on line the Telecom service assistant asked if I had recieved the letter that Telecom sent out to all its new customers , I said no , and was amazed to recieve a copy of the letter delivered by courier the next day . This important piece of correspondence turned out to be just a standard bit of junk mail extolling the virtues of Telecom .

My experience is the same as Gavins , paying for uncapped highspeed broadband. Sometimes I get 2or3 KB/sec , normally about 7.5 and sometimes if I am really lucky up to 300 . Overall I am disappointed and feel this is just another Telecom corporate con job . On top of the poor speed performance there have been a whole succession of outages , and the whole change over from Clear to Telecom took almost a month and was only achieved with numerous phone calls , though I have been told that most of this was due to hooks in the system put in place by Microsoft .

Thank you for all the info , that helps a great deal . The Moth with the engine set up similar to the Tiger , was I think called the Moth Major , but maybe someone else can give a more complete explanation .

Can anyone tell me if the DH 60 Moth originally had wing slats , many photos of restored aircraft show these fitted , but are these a feature added later ? What do the initials added after the DH 60 stand for ?

The last time they attempted an engine run on the Lancaster , many years ago , someone stole the fuel and replaced it with water . Was any attempt ever made to purge the fuel system after this ?

I have a Canon MP730 , which currently will not print , It tells me that the waste ink tank is nearly full . I do not believe it , but were I able to find out how to change the pads I might do just that . What I would really like to do is to reset the counter and let it go another round . Anyone know how to sort it ? I refuse to take it to the dealer to be charged half the value of the machine and be told that they do not need changing , as a friend did .
