I believe it was Bob Hope that said, 'The US and UK
are two countries separated by a common language. We
send all sports class on a task where each pilot selects
his own turn points. We call the thing, sports class.


Now lets talk about the meaning of, 'spanner and torch'.
A few years back I was complying with a Slingsby airworthiness
directive which said, 'with a torch in one hand and
a spanner in the other, loosen the jam-nut..................'
Had no idea what I was being told to do, but I knew
I wasn't about to climb in this wooden glider with
a lit acetylene torch in one hand. Years later, I found
out a 'torch' was what we call a flash-light and a
'spanner' is an adjustable wrench.
Anyone want to give the meaning of, 'knock me up' some
time. I believe it means to give me a call, over there.
Over here that means to impregnate me.
Wish this rain would stop, maybe Monday,

Dear JJ,
You seem to confirm my main point by admitting that
you do not send
everyone on the same task! I stick to my opinion that:
'it is simply
not possible to have fair competition in a single task
group with
Nimbuses at one end and K6s at the other'. But perhaps
your
definition of a 'single task group' is different to
mine.
