Flyer Forum Code of Conduct

At its best, the Flyer Forum continues to be a valuable resource for the General Aviation community

It is a place where flyers of all experience levels can meet to discuss and exchange up-to-date undistorted...

Hurrah! Excellent! Well done Rustle. I think for that gem you are allowed 5 unmoderated snipes at the FAA and all its works :D

I have just sacked my ISP as I now use BT Broadband but I need space on a web server. Can any one say they are particularly pleased with such a service provider. I'm not necessarily interested in Free or the lowest price.

I suppose I'd like

Some marketing genius has hit on the idea of a mobile phone which (a) makes telephone calls, and (b) receives telephone calls, and (c) does bugger all else. Opinions vary as to whether it is aimed at people over thirty five (particularly people's...

If you get chance - have a listen to Pink Floyd's track - Learning To Fly

I know that the outer reaches of the Flyer Forums are not as frequented as the main sections but AvBrief have an interesting vacancy, details of which may be found at

I posted this question a while ago and a kind soul gave me a very good solution, which I have now forgotten :roll:

I've searched the forum for my original question and can't find it, so shall have to ask again.*

I want to put a marker on a...

For the benefit of those of that didn't see it, what is this all about?

Many a true word spoken in jest!! .

TO ALL THE KIDS WHO SURVIVED the

1930's 40's, 50's, 60's and 70's !!

First, we survived being born to mothers who smoked and/or drank while they

carried us.

They took aspirin, ate blue cheese...

Some of my posts are not appearing.

Am I being secretly donked or is there a spanner in the works?

Sorry to shout but this section has been quiet for a few days. Time for another one of your cockup attempts at organising something. Practice makes perfect.

Still planning my German jaunt for August and Celle (near Hannover) looks favourite.

Non-flying question though, what is a 'Pension' in Germany? Last time I was there, I stayed in barracks or freezing holes in the ground - I assume this is a few...

I'm on a course all week, staying at the Tower Thistle. We have a budget of £25 per head per night (excl drinks) - any recommendations for restaurants, preferably within walking distance? Any type.

I lived in London for 30 years but it's all so...

Rant mode on:

What is it with these guys that they take anything vaguely green and poke fun at the Guardian reading sandals wearing mob (yawn yawn, how original) mercilessly, all the while poncing on about totally unaffordable cars two of which...

I'm off to China for a few days at the end of the week, and will have a full day to kill in Shanghai before my flight home. I've never been before. Is there anything one shouldn't leave Shanghai without having seen or done?

Hi,

I've just managed to get back on via a traditional Modem connection (thanks Flyer ISP)

From Friday PM, the ADSL modem was going up and down like a yoyo indicating it was only able to get a line signal intermittently. I haven't had a line...

I've watched a couple of the new style bulletins, and whilst they are all very pretty / techhy, the word front hasn't been mentionned once, nor has one been represented (with a line).

Perhaps it makes it easier for the great unwashed to know...

As I've mentioned before, No.1 daughter is off to Malaysia soon on a sort of pre-Uni expedition. She wants to take a digital camera to record the trip, but like me is confused as to the many types and variances available. I know the more pixels and...

At the back of my house is a large field, privately owned and for which several attempts at planning pemission for a housing estate have been refused. For the ten years we have lived here, and probably a few years before that, people have climbed...

The phone at home rang today, a female american voice (obviously a recording) said Congratulations, you have won an all expenses paid holiday in (pause) the Caribbean. Press 9 on your keypad now. That is the 9 key. I didn't.

If a call is already...

I've just wasted a day trying to get the new desktop working. Hours later and having taken out and tested most components it seems the computer was DOA. I wish Apple would sort out their QC. :evil:

I recently bought the Jeppesen FlitePro IFR Flight Simulator version 6.2 but am wondering if that is in fact the latest version since according to the booklet it is intended for Windows 95/98. It does seem to run on Windows XP, but does not...

I've just tried to connect my laptop to the TV with video S, and up to a point, it's working fine. However, only my desktop background will show on the TV screen, and nothing else! Right clicking desktop -> properties -> settings, I can then...

In the process of sticking some more memory in my desktop found out that I need some RAMBUS memory.

Apparently you can not buy it new anymore but there still seems plenty of it floating about on eBAY.

Q: Currently running 512 and thinking of...

Do we really need another thread to ask us if we need more WTF polls? Is GCs thread not a bit unnecessary?

DILLIGAF....? WTF?? :shock:

Just come across this neat widget , that allows TAFs / METARs for a specified airport to be continually updated on your desktop.

Seems to work well (output can be raw or translated ).

It doesn't seem to be make a distinction between Long TAFs...

Looking for a recommendation here. I know I could always brows the net but always prefer a recom is possible.......Looking for something nice and clean, not too expensive and not necessarily close to the centre?

I have just got my first ADSL modem with built in WiFi. It connected to ADSL OK. Then named an SSID, and reset the access point..

Then I put a Netgear WiFi card in my laptop and hit search.......it finds my home net work, and I click connect. All...

No wonder are taxes are so bl00dy high when council workers are sent on two day courses on diversity training!!!!!

We really do need to get a grip and focus on what is important - and I no I am not racist, but surely there are better ways of...

Should this whole forum be merged into one vast meta-thread called WTF?

Has our poor traffic cop been unfairly treated or should he be ensconced in the deepest darkest dungeon

I know the French aren't keen on vegetarians, but can anyone recommend a restaurant in Paris that serves decent vegetarian food?

This married couple were sitting in a fine restaurant when the wife looks over at a nearby table and sees a man in a drunken stupor.

The husband asks I notice you've been watching that man for some time now. Do you know him?

Yes she replies,...

May be going to Biarritz in September. As it will be our anniversary at the time, does anyone know any good restaurants there?

Anyone heard and hated the frog ring tone that is doing the rounds?

I came across this pi$$ take of it the other day - it did make me laugh - beware very bad language below

There is a website I want to buy that has already been registered but is not in use. I've been trying to find out how I could go about aquiring this web address but so far all avenues of investigations have drawn blanks.

Does anyone have any...

got a call from the office this morning: ' all the doors have been broken down'

Next door office was completely turned over - poor sods. The annoying thing is that I know they'll be back :x

sigh*.*...

Some questions to our legal eagles:

A friend from overseas has done some work for someone in this country. He is concerned that there might need to be a bit of a push for payment and was asking me about the Small Claims Court. I could not answer...

Flyers seem to be (from my limited experience) from a wide variety of backgrounds. Software engineers seem to proliferate on these pages, but also there seem to be a lot of self employed out there.

Just out of idle curiosity do you run your own...

Dunno if it's just me, but threads I've just read are often showing as not read . I can click into them several times, look at all the pages,then go back to the index, but they are still orange.

Is this an attack by Mr Kilroy-Silk, or is it my...

1. You leave clubs before the end to beat the rush .

2. You get more excited about having a roast on a Sunday than going clubbing.

3. You stop dreaming of becoming a professional footballer and start dreaming of having a son who might instead....

Well, waddya think . . . . ?

I think he is a bit of a nutter, has some odd friends and even odder theories but you have to admire the bloke a bit for taking on the Senate Sub-Committee like that.

I've just been offered a job interview, but the recruitment agency insists that I have to supply them with a copy of my passport main pages for id purposes .

They tell me that this is a DTI directive aimed at stopping illegal immigrants getting...

Can anyone recommend a good company to hire a motorhome in France? Preferably picking up somewhere near Paris, we want to tour France for a week or two in the summer, and seemed like a good idea

This is intended as a holiday for the 'non- flyers',...
