Re: What have you just bought?
Samsung Galaxy A12 64Gb mobile phone (un-locked) to replace my faithful old Tocco lite whose display is starting to fail.
My PAYG provider can upgrade to a sim only contract for around £6 a month: All you can eat texts and calls plus 10Gb of data. I don't need masses of data as I use the broadband for that.

Re: What have you just bought?
A Rolls Royce RB211 Jet Engine Fan Blade from one of the last British Airways 747's.
Why you may ask? Becuase I'm a mad aviation fan and really love planes, especially the 747!

Were you the person building a huge model airliner years ago? If so what happened to that?

Wow! You got your moneys worth out of that Toco Lite!
Mine barely lasted a year before the touchscreen started to fail.
I bet that Samsung Galaxy blows it away now.

Wow, Yes it was me, going back several years now! Well remebered!
It took quite some time to get it to fly propery but it did fly.
Eventually I had a hard landing and it broke off the engines and since then its been in the loft. We ended up having kids and its now a project for another day.
But definately will have to get back to it some day.
I'l have to dig out a video.

Yes, I really got my moneys worth, bought over 12 years ago though most of the time it's in standby.
The A12's display is stunning. At the moment I'm using it through the WiFi as I need to get a nano SIM with my provider as the Tocco Lite uses a standard size SIM.
I downloaded the user manual, only 107 pages long.

I agree with Carth and admire his philanthropic attitude, and being a good samaritan myself I could also relieve you of this great burden and won't have so far to travel which would be great for global warming.

Where did you get that?
I worked for a company that owned BAe-146s, and our building had a guy that overhauled the engines, he was going to give me some fan blades the next time an engine came in after a bird strike, but we all got made redundant and it never happened.
