Odd Bits - RAF Birthday Fly By

Written by Richard Smith
Tuesday, 01 April 2008
As you may have heard its the RAF's birthday today. Can you believe it's been 90 years already? As part of the celebrations the Red Arrows along with a few Euro Fighters did a fly over London this afternoon. I managed to get a spot to watch it but couldn't get the camera to work quick enough to get some really good shots. Here are the photos I managed to get. There are also some better images at http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/in_pictures/7324754.stm Add this page to your favorite Social Bookmarking websites Be first to comment this article \| Add as favourites (55) \| Quote this article on your site \| Views: 410

Odd Bits - Advertising on this site

Written by Richard Smith
Friday, 28 March 2008
Hate advertising on websites? Well most of the time I do as well but to be honest it is usually stuff that doesn't interest me and is only available in another country. But every so often I see a good advert, something I could do with and it leads me in the right direction. So I'm going to allow free advertising on this site.

Todays Quote - 28th March 2008

Written by Richard Smith
Friday, 28 March 2008
The people of Halifax invented the trampoline. During the Victorian period the tripe-dressers of Halifax stretched tripe across a large wooden frame and jumped up and down on it to `tender and dress' it. The tripoline, as they called it, degenerated into becoming the apparatus for a spectator sport. The people of Halifax also invented the harmonium, a device for castrating pigs during Sunday service. -- Mike Harding, "The Armchair Anarchist's Almanac" Todays quote was generated by fortune on Smuggy.
