For those kind souls who remember old FEDEXLIKE well I am his brother OTANHEAVY yes its a strange but interesting desiignation with connections to NATO,, but I wont bore you with that, so Fed is ded (not) and I will be taking up the battle in his place i hope you will excuse the spilling mistakates but the old brain has been hammered and my memory is rubbish I have importantish postlyness to inflict with much clout but not at this posting I mainly wish to re introduce myself of course any words of enporridgement for myself nd my old bro FED will be the cause of much gladdliness to me.
Hell CC one too many hits my friend i just felt I was not worthy,,, and as the probs piled up and the shutdowns got longer I ground too a stop,, ut A OK now,the amazing power of the mind eh its amazingly amazing???
Its great having a line of a line of communication available to my friends as things have turned very chilly at OTAN MANOR, and its nowt to do with the weather, one of the reasons I have been silent was the strain on my relationship caused by obsessive behaviour ,I have spent a lot of dosh on ebay adding to my collection of 1/50 scale models, all were purchased to re create scenarios in which I was involved or would have liked to have been involved in during my time in the Earth moving b usiness
I have constructed many dioramas very realistic 1/50 scale mini scenes which give endandless satisfaction, now i know it sounds geeky and yes the models are not cheap but its a good hobby
SORRY I was running out of time so I will crack on
First i am not breaking the bank here we are not millionairs but not exactly skint and always work to a budget so that arguument will not fly its mainly my wife just wo accept the fact that a 65yr old male invests time and money in toys TOYS THEY ARE NOT the works of miniart are extremely well detailed and all have a place if anyone would like to view leave a message with a email and I WILL send pics also its very difficult to walk and get about so my art is theraputic and stimulates my braincells all 7 of them but its making life awkward and very strained, oh and just in case we do go out for meals cinema etc and I have offered to change our 5yr old TOYOTA YARIS FOR THE LATEST MODEL to no effect,, no I am sure its me the neeting of minds is malfunctioning and i see no way back answers please
Thankyou for the warm wellcome CC Joanne and of course Gus,,FED has told me about your witty quips I will try to emulate my sibling as accurately as possible so accurately you wont even know the difference,
i spotted you fed on your first post when i saw the 'sky raider' i thought there cant be two people in the world who write the same , but didn't like too say, Welcome back.
Having been deprived of meaningful phlosofyingity for such a lengthy timescale my brain has gone into sleep mode and has to be constantly prodded with a pencil to bring it on line, I have considered jump leads but that would b silly even sillier than dribbling nitro glycerine into my right ear and shaking my head, would you concur, or is that a game with nuts on the end of a string,, hmmm same difference, it would de wax my ears and everyone elses within 100mtrs
I TRUST YOU ARE WELL this morning my friend ,is that you in the descent if it is youve got some bottle , I tried PARASCENDING and MICROLIGHTS and preferred the lattter it was a course over six weeks I was going ahead with it but the week before I was presented with old BLACKY, and thus my joy of flying ground to a plummetingwreck its all take take with pd isnt it my flying driving writing walking GRAPPtalking eating and of course my job which I loved all scrapped, I do have the enjoyable hobby creating dioramas utilising my 1/50 scale models but my wife objects if I purchase anything at all , I BOUGHT new NIKON top of the range Camera and three lenses plus every possible accessories I will need as I intend taking a course in FOTOE GRAFFY ill have a qualification in photogrphy then its amazingly amazing ,,,the camera that is mst go hospital, prostate cancer. will explain later.
Hello CC I am reliably informed OTAN is the god of SILLY in other words he presides over those of us that often find ourselves in SILLY situations ,so Im ok then , he resides in ,,,, yes youve guessed it,,the SILLY ISLES ,,no thats silly , OTAN means Organization Treaties Atlantiqe Northern ,, part of NATO and the heavy refers to any large Aircraft or above 255 000 lbs laden or mt,,then you have large 41000 lbs laden or mt then small up to 41000 lbs incluing all light aircraft. it was always a wish to visit the flight deck of a 747 which was the heaviest at over 400 tons but the largest I MANAGED WAS a 767, and now we have the A380 which can weigh in at almost 610 000lbs emty and a collosal 1,200 000 lbs max take off weight.
