And which curry should we recommend to Katie Barrk?

**Kzin** · Feb 23rd, 2001, 12:50 PM

Cos if you followed the trouser snake discussion - she is going to need to know . . .

**barrk** · Feb 23rd, 2001, 12:57 PM

Unfortunately....I have been looking for a restaurant that serves curry since the first time it was brought up in here and I haven't found one so, although I appreciate your efforts, chances are it won't do me any good :-(

**Kzin** · Feb 23rd, 2001, 01:11 PM

My guess is that the guys will send you samples in jiffy bags

**parksie** · Feb 23rd, 2001, 01:40 PM

*cries*

No curry for Katie

Nothing for it then, will have to get her over here

**Kzin** · Feb 23rd, 2001, 05:04 PM

Only 4 hours to Upper Heyford in her F22!

**barrk** · Feb 23rd, 2001, 05:12 PM

The Raptor is presently a homeing pidgeon and won't be leaving it's roost for a while......there are little boys with M-16s to assure it stays there!

Curry may be the best thing next to sex but not worth that much risk!

**Kzin** · Feb 23rd, 2001, 05:18 PM

I guess that cuts out SR-71s as well - you could have got your curry still hot!

**barrk** · Feb 23rd, 2001, 05:19 PM

The blackbird is without a doubt my favorite plane....then the Spirit and then the Raptor.....very cool indeed!

**parksie** · Feb 23rd, 2001, 05:32 PM

I'm lost

Hey, I just found out what some random person wandering onto this site would feel like

**HarryW** · Feb 23rd, 2001, 05:32 PM

Since you people seem to know a thing or two about planes - anyone care to enlighten me as to how the Fishbed got its name? It's always puzzled me.

**barrk** · Feb 23rd, 2001, 05:40 PM

look here....it may help!

Well Barrk's the expert but
an F22 Raptor (Barrk's original picture) is the 'new' Stealth Fighter and is - as we are told - very nice and very hush hush. I think it replaces both the F14 and F15 (Can that really be true?? Am I confused

?)

The SR-71 is the Blackbird which is the fastest Jet airplane. Its a bit restricted in which runways it can (could?) use I think (especially over here). Katie lives right next to one super long set of runways and I live near to Upper Heyford (super long USAF runway in UK) so I though we could get a curry to her very quickly that way without it getting cold

. Whether any SR-71s are actually still in service I don't know and I guess we are talking about a six figure sum to fly one transatlantic but still . . .

**parksie** · Feb 23rd, 2001, 06:11 PM

Katie, not Barrk...she doesn't like it

So that's why Katie's doing lots on flight performance for the F22

So is it still in the prototype stage?

**HarryW** · Feb 23rd, 2001, 06:12 PM

Whatever happened to the YF-23? Got dropped in favour of the F22? A bit like the JSF competition I guess.

**barrk** · Feb 23rd, 2001, 06:12 PM

NASA is still using the blackbird to test the engines for the X-33. The Spirit is the B-2 Bomber!

Exactly the same scenario...........and yes the Raptor is still in test.

Thank you P - and apologies Katie (I didn't want to be too forward - stiff upper lips and all that [sounds like the wrong thread!]!)

Erm - should I be calling you Parksie

?

**HarryW** · Feb 23rd, 2001, 06:17 PM

Who were the competitors for that, just out of interest?

And what about the Fishbed?! I must know!

**barrk** · Feb 23rd, 2001, 06:19 PM

This is info on the fishbed.

http://www.black-falcons.com/

The compettitors on the 23/22 were lockheed and northrop grummond.

**HarryW** · Feb 23rd, 2001, 06:19 PM

Kzin - call him what you like, he answers to 'Oi you' and '******' most of the time

**HarryW** · Feb 23rd, 2001, 06:20 PM

Katie - Thanks. I saw pictures on that site, but nothing about how it got the name. Am I just going blind as I'm told I should be?

**barrk** · Feb 23rd, 2001, 06:20 PM

Oswald is a good alternative....................but his real name is Mike.

**parksie** · Feb 23rd, 2001, 06:21 PM

F**k off

(That's to Harry

)

I'm either Mike, Parksie, or as Harry says

Amazing! So what is its current performance and ceiling? I had heard that they were withdrawn in 1993 but I was not sure.

So the Wives Tales are true?

**parksie** · Feb 23rd, 2001, 06:31 PM

Leave the wives alone, Dennis.

Feb 23rd, 2001, 06:35 PM

Ok... if you say so... *sigh*

but anyhow.. there are superstitions of if you....*ahem* too much, you'll go blind.... I guess that's why I just got my new stronger glasses perscription yesterday..

**parksie** · Feb 23rd, 2001, 06:38 PM

I know about the superstitions, Dennis...I was ripping the piss

**HarryW** · Feb 23rd, 2001, 06:43 PM

Dennis - No sh*t Sherlock. Yes I know you hate that phrase, which just makes it all the more appropriate

Agree the blackbird is the best plane ever.... just needs a few weapons thou, Tactical Thermal Nuclear Bomb anyone?
I think we could fit it on the back somewhere and take a detour to Birmigham!
Still great plane in most aspects.

They dont have any Apache's for sale do they?

I think we should just get the hotest curry we can get then make it hotter!! MUWAHAHAHA

Sorry Kate but you touch any curry me and/or these guys get ya, regretfully your gonna suffer. Still think of it this way, I will find it quite funny when you pass out

A peice of advice, Never be to cocky when ordering a curry

Feb 23rd, 2001, 06:45 PM

And for that, you get a shin-kicking

*KICK*

**HarryW** · Feb 23rd, 2001, 06:51 PM

*Chuckle* I was wearing shinpads. *Kicks Dennis in the knackers and legs it*

Feb 23rd, 2001, 06:54 PM

Joke's on you, I was wearing a Jockstrap and a Cup

**barrk** · Feb 23rd, 2001, 07:01 PM
