Runway oopsage.

Some of you may wish to go and see some pictures, linked from this entry, of an aeronautical nature (scy11a particularly, of course).

Those of you who are especially nervous about flying should probably not.

Misc Stuff.

Hmmm. There are rumours that the Men They Couldn't Hang might be touring soon. There seem to be confirmed dates for Manchester and Sheffield. Hopefully there will be more - particularly further north.

It was a bit windier last night. The local papers are still promising us gales. We'll see.

I was reminded by a discussion on a different LJ of this shirt, which I saw and was vaguely tempted by a year or two ago. They do others, too, such as this one - now who could that possibly be appropriate for? Answers on a postcard, please - not by commenting here, that would be naughty, and anyway, it would be far more fun to talk about people behind their backs.

Also, I've just picked up "I Was A Human Bomb For The FBI" by Zombina and the Skeletones. Mick Mercer's review is here, info on ordering it is here, and not only is it a great listen, but they didn't stint on the production cost either - I think it's the heaviest 7" I've ever come across. You could probably beat several G7 heads-of-state to death with it without damaging its playing surface at all. In fact, I recommend that you all buy copies and attempt precisely that. If you don't trust me quite that far, you could always buy a playing copy and a separate beating copy.

Branch meeting. Motions for demanding immediate repatriation of UK nationals from Guantanamo and stopping holding people without trial at Belmarsh passed nem con, for what good it'll do. Also one on setting up worldwide tsunami warning systems, which was interesting because there was someone there who actually knows about such things. Dead simple and cheap, apparently - also nem con. An organiser from the Scottish party was there, mainly talking about the Lib Dems. Party politics is so like pest control, when it comes down to it.
