You know, Gladiatt, your comment about your wedding day "it was pure happiness until everyone left at 2AM" could be misinterpreted...[:D]

Termy, just curious, how would you like to misinterpret this [:D] ?

My guess is , because you make it sound like your happiness ended when your guests went home. I'm sure , that like most of us, your "happiness" incresed when your guests went home and you had your bride all to yourself. [:D]

What're you complaining about now?

I wouldn't know. In the US the tradition is that the Bride and Groom leave the party before the guests, in a big show. Perhaps to "get a head start " on "things". [:D]

Old Europe lost it's tradition [8|]. Now, the wedded pay for the party, and put evryone out at the end...so this way, we can pay the restaurant without witness, and escape after this [;)].

Not everywhere. In Denmark, the couple leaves first too.

The RAFs most expensive plane has taken to the skies! Is it a new fighter, a stealth bomber? No, a re-conditioned 1950's airliner that kep falling out the skies...

HMMM, to be more serious: the tradition still exist in France, but it is more and more often that the couple assume the party, and all the stuff (except for the wedding dress of the Bride), and they make the "closing" of the party.
We had the opportunity to receive money from our familly to pay a good part of it....but we would had to invite people we were not willing, or to make things that we thought not OK for us. So we did it this way ....and no one complained [:)]

You might want to stay with WITP PBEM's for a while. I am. Till I feel that I have a real handle on this beast. Like in about five years! [:D]

While that's a little bit harsh (the Nimrod hasn't lost that many planes...especially compared to Harriers), I feel that the major problem with the Nimrod, is it's name.In many parts of the world (The USA includes, saying "Nimrod" doesn't conjure up images of "the great hunter" --for us that would be "Orion", but instead an insult. "Nice going NIMROD", is interchangable with "nice going , MORON". It's a pitty , but that's my therory as to why there were no foreign Nimrod sales. "Hey guys, we want to spend billions of dollars (pounds,lira,ruppee,etc...) on a plane called The MORON.". It just doesn't work. So much for the marketing department of BAE.

On a side note, besides being one of the ugliest planes ever built , it has an excellent RADAR (Search water) which was absolutely the best airborne search RADAR in the world (in 1983). [:D]
