Does that fly well? I'm looking for a 3ch indoor helimabopter for in the office, to annoy my roommate.

Chinooks scare me. There have been a few times when I have heard a roar and they have flown over my house (for an air show, perhaps?) like big roaring elephants. They are so unbelievably huge and always make me think that war is about to break out. They just look so ominous.

I live on the Quantock hills, and there isn't a day without either Jet planes, Sea King helicopters or Chinooks flying meters above my house. The jets are the loud, the sea kings are hardly noticeable but the Chinooks shake the walls.

So your chopper is more fun because it's an inch bigger?

Excellently, it makes the microwavey noise and the light comes on, but no heaty-heaty.

Girth doesn't come into it, my chopper has an extra channel, that is why it is more fun. Unless you have one then you can really only dream of what you can do with a chopper that has three channels.

That must have been rather confusing.

We live near several RAF bases, so we get all manner of things flying round near us. We also get the aircraft flying circuits for the Kemble and Fairford airshows, which is ace.

Ah, Stroud.

Wonderful overlap of a town full of new-age hippies desperate to believe in benevolent extra-terrestrial life, and plenty of air-force bases full of Harrier Jump-Jets, which when they start VIFFing move in fairly unbelievable ways. At night, people see lights flying, stopping suddenly, dropping, etc. Teh Alienses!!11 It can take weeks of Reiki for them to recover their inner peace.

I remember my bedroom windows in Rodborough

vibrating gently as the B52s from Fairford went off to bomb Iraq during the first Gulf War. I also remember a lot of confusion about whether roads around Ciren were going to be closed during one of the Balkan conflicts, when they accidently dropped a cluster-bomb onto the runway (which didn't explode, but was armed).

I was 13 or 14 during GW1, so missed out on that little panic not being a commuter. Don't remember hearing about it at all, though.

Didn't a Harrier come down somewhere near there not too long ago?

EDIT - ah, it was Oxfordshire.

I misread that and thought that you claimed to be 13 or 14 during World War One.

It was, yes. At 6am trying to make Junior's breakfast. After 10 minutes in there with no increase in the temperature of the porridge, I realised it was bust and he had it cold.

I was. Teenage years just drag on and on and on, though, don't they?

Do you nto own a stove, or can big fancy lawyer's not afford them these days? MR WINKY FACE

porridge made from water. (ew)

At least Chris Jnr can tell you he's hungry.
You've got all the guessing to come again, mate!

At that age crying=hungry. If they're tired as well they'll fall asleep mid-boob. Easy!

Such lies! So far for the Grim...let crying can mean:
Hungry
Shitty Nappy
Bored
Stomach Ache
I'm in the bath
Daddy has dropped me
And, most amusingly of all: It appears to be dark

Ooh, I got Bully yesterday. Apparently you can play 2-player co-op, but I'm not sure what it entails.

Perhaps bored should be "You've left me on my own, you cunts"

Hot chilli beef soup?

That sounds interesting - is it nice?

Hah! That one doesn't stop. And eventually they can come and find you.

MR OH FFS FACE

Okay, bit freaky. I live in Rodborough, on Butterrow Hill.
