    They are loud ****ers even if you can play them in tune like one of my cousins'.

      Are these good? I've got one on its way to me now as a Christmas present from my wife. Had a quick look at one in the O2 store and was impressed.

        Upgraded from One Plus 1. So far seems very good.

          I'll be moving to One Plus next time (next year probably).

              Oh, yes.

              The Kate Bush live album, some ukulele strings, and a decent set of watercolour brushes.

                    A 20 minute 'chocks away to chocks on' flight in a Tiger Moth at Duxford.

                    That translates pretty much to a single (extended) circuit. Plus the arse that is navigating the A14 between the A1 and M11. Twice. In a single day. An nobody to invoice for my time.

                    Then there's the fact that the old bird will only fly if the weather is perfect. If it is working.

                    Basically means giving up most of my summer weekends for the offchance of 'enjoying' 10 minutes of prop wash.

                    The £300(ish) would be much better invested in time in a Cessna Aerobat and/ or a weight shift microlight.

                    Mrs RS bought the voucher on December 5th. The small print (not brought to her attention at the time of purchase) says full refund only in first 14 days

                    I've sent off the initial, polite, email asking for a full refund.

                    In the meantime she's ordered some Olympic bumper plates as a partial replacement.

                    (which is what I told her I wanted in the first place)...
