  3. It's not as formal as RA and simpler, and it's possible that the person didn't check or didn't have his harness done up or the latch was only partially engaged and there was a sudden movement, mybe a gust of wind. Nothing most of us haven't done at some stage.
  4. .....ability with something serious like a Jabiru J230. There are so many stories about Cappy and what he called the "Wine Run" but really was flying with the wheels scraping the ground to get under the radar and bring Queensland immigrants back to Wagga Wagga as Roadhouse managers, butchers, chefs and firepersons. Loxie had learnt to yell GET ON THAT HOSE EH! and had his team in the top ten at fhe Fairies games but......................

  7. ......threw a burkha over Pangy walked into the bush and threw him into the blackberries, before returning and standing silently in his white shirt, black pants and 367 magnum. No one gave cheek in Cappy's clinic. After the doctor had told Cappy to lose 6 kilos, stop smoking, and take up a hobby like flying [avref], he looked around for Pangy. He'd taken a liking to the cute little fellow. The mother and short-fingered child had gone and the Bomb Chucker just outstared him so he went down to the local airfield and bought a new Jabiru. He didn't believe in currency, so he fulled it up and set sail, so to speak for .........

  9. .....Waiting room, running around for people to pat him; they had bleeding fingers afterwards but Pangy would sit up, tap a little beat on the floor the floor with his scales and say XXXX XXX in Spanish. Since no one knew Spanish he got away with it. It was when the nurse came up and said "Hi Pangy!" that ......
  10. .....Peking Duck Stew nobody tell diffrence hao hao! It was a few months after these comments that the story came out about Cappy. As much as he rubbishes Turbo, he's always watching for something to copy, and he decided to replicate a Turbine Cat farm using Pangolins. Without the intricate knowledge of things like Food Conversion Ratio, breeding and safe animal handling, this is almost impossible. He'd been very quiet lately and we'd noticed that he had a pronounced limp, but out of courtesy none of us asked what had happened. Then one night Turbo got a call from his Gwanzou Cat Farm manager Chop Ho who asked how he was with a chuckle. Chop explained that Cappy had gone out into the Forbidden Jungle to catch Pangolins. He'd taken a pair of Bunnings gloves with him and had run down and caught four. The fifth one got him. You'll notice from the picture that the Pangolin's scales restricted its running spped, but there were no scales around its jaws which were like a vice. Its defence was to run away and let the predator catch up, then sharply raise its jaws and put the brakes on. On the overrun this one managed to snap Cappy by the nuts and hang on. The sharp scales ripped the insides of his thighs to shreds and he was running with his legs apart and the Pangolin hanging off his swingers when.................

  15. .....showing toes is not the daring thing to do, because more than half Japan's tradies don't have them any more and you know what that means. As in the nutcase example of the Flying Car (in Nature do we see flying bulls, flying worms, or buzzing BlowCats?) there was a small goup in AUF who had been working for 40 years to develop a flying Komatsu. We won't say who they are to save embarrassment, but one of them doesn't live in the Eastern States. There were regular posts about D-375s with wings - flying Dozers. As some people had pointed out, if you're going to knock scrub down you put it in drive, give it WOT and sit back until you've covered 15 km with the 4.777 metre wide blade, so there's the obvious problem of the huge wings being crumpled by the trees each side. Someone suggested making them out of steel and grinding the leading edges. Another pointed out the D-358 weighed 74 tonnes but that was just met with silence from the group. And still the flying dozer [avref] thread comments came, until..............
