Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

Death has this much to be said for it:

I want one of these: it sounds like it will shred the wallpaper next door, if I turn it up to 11:

Plane? Well along with the aforementioned Spitfire(though I'd want a mark 7) and since no Stukas are left I'd like this;
Sukhoi SU 35
Gaff?
Or rip it off and put it somewhere else. Improve damp sealing...Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

feck him PUT. Sure he originally wanted to cover the horizontals in gold leaf and didn't build it to take the weight of same. Luckily his sponsor ignored him and added extra steel, which put Wright in a hissy fit(and still it buckled) and didn't seal it properly against moisture. So I reckon with a bunch of tea and bacon fueled old stylee crack arsed Irish builders we'd build it better. If you ever see a PM coming from me P, it may mean I've won Euromillions so break out the plumbline and jackhammers :pac:
Odder stuff I'd like would be;
Life size Neandertal cast.
And a real mammoth skeleton
Oh and a collection of antique furniture from the medieval on, especially the renaissance stuff. I'd love a Tudor era bed. Love that heavy oak stuff. Looks great in big plain rooms.
At the time the best beds were often worth more than the houses they were in. :eek:
And a life size one of these;
I'd then trawl Boards for the finest vodka and redbull driven technogeeks and pay them in gold to make it mobile with some autonomy. Motion detectors for intruders and the like. Sure to cause instant colon explosion if said burglars grew up in the 70's. Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things.

He did his best designs under severe pressure and in very short time. He used to give his students Cadillac's and made them work in tents (best light diffusion through the canvas) His best works had his designs fleshed out by his students. His faults make him more human and I really like that. It makes his achievements all the more tangible and gives a real sense of achievement. The flawed character will always win out in my books for any artist, Picasso, Le Corbusier, Diaz, Bill Carpenter, etc., to reach the highs you must have experienced the lows.......
You probably could....:p well you know what they say.....with enough typewriters and enough monkeys we will eventually get every Shakespearean play re-written verbatim, but it doesn't mean the author understands the written word.....:)So I reckon with a bunch of tea and bacon fueled old stylee crack arsed Irish builders we'd build it better.
They're always to hand, just in case........;)If you ever see a PM coming from me P, it may mean I've won Euromillions so break out the plumbline and jackhammers :pac:
The original ones were higher off the floor to allow room for servants and pets underneath to keep all the body heat in one area....:pac:I'd love a Tudor era bed. Love that heavy oak stuff. Looks great in big plain rooms.
If anyone has a spare....
I'll relieve them of it.....:D

To win one of these babies:
To own one of these babies:
To have an army like this under my command:
To see this wonderful image happening again this September:
To get a private concert from these guys:
and these guys:
and this guy:
But failing all that, I'll settle for this:
