CLOSED - THANKS to all customers for the last few years

Tea and gingerbread, fantastic.

Yes Priscilla, the only reason I come to Lamby's Lair
is to be educated!!!!!! LOL

Actually, if you watch Children's Newsround, GlobalFlyer made it on to
that too, so you can see I have a vast range of intellectual points of
contact :-))

P and JJ, Yes I am surprised it hasnt had more coverage, although the designers, builders and pilot are Americans, Richard Branson has paid a lot of the bills. He was "Reserve Pilot" but I dont think there was ever any chance of him flying it.

I like Branson, he's a good guy, does quite a lot that isn't always
publicised, has helped a lot of small businesses too apparently get off
the ground with investment. A true adventurer as well and always it seems
happy to back other true adventurers. I bet he would have loved the
chance though to fly it!!
:>)

How's he' getting on then, Spacie? When is he expected to 'cross the line' or 'land' as us techies would say?

Bunny, I agree we need more people like him but Steve Fossett is a much greater adventurer, I think global flyer would have been much to hard for Richard to fly.

P, Global Flyer is now over Colorado and is due to land at about 1915GMT in Kansas, they are flying slower to save fuel, their airspeed is now about 215knots and they were going about 350knots earlier in the flight.

Hello.

I like childrens new round too.
I wouldn't mind some of that tea and gingerbread, if there's any left.

Let's make a fresh pot of tea, you can have the gingerbread I'll go with chocolate digestives.

Ooops! Seem to have drifted off. Mmmmmm...cold tea!

Well Steve Fossett and Global Flyer made it, well done to all involved ...


Mission Status: 19:50UTC - 13:50 local time - Steve has just touched down at Salina after successfully completing the fastest, non-stop, non-refuelled flight around the world.



Here is a link to a page listing Steve Fossetts records, I guess it helps having a bit of cash..... but I think he is a bit special.

Hope my nag is as successful otherwise its orf to Fossetts Circus!

LW, he made his money trading options.. there is hope for us yet ;-)

Come on willie,big up for fosset,even though he`s a tommy tank,,come on sweet revenge !!

Quick drink and out of here.

Been such a busy few days, I've not even popped by this week! Market going wild, which is fine by me!!!

;-))

Bottle of champagne opened, glasses waiting -
toast to Spaceman's Steve Fossett and Global Flyer -


clink, clink .............. Well Done :-))


(We noticed Al (it's called "keeping a low profile" LOL)!

OK, must head off.

Bubbly in bucket and if no takers,
fresh orange to mix with it at breakfast time!

Night all.

Thanks you jj I did like that champagne but i dont seem to be able to walk any more, i dont know why I only had about a pint of it. I think I will just have to lay here until I can get up again.

Morning All, just popping in for a quick Latte and Toasted Tea cake before I hurry off to work.

Oh how I love working again.

Morning, cherubs! Just dropped in to start the mulled wine for later. All ingredients are mulling nicely and I'll be back to heat it up well in time for the throwing of spherical-ish objects outside later. But we must find another name. We can't throw snoball(s)! He's such a nice chap. Suggestions welcomed.

Just updated the header with a little competition from Jeff, looks like a lot of fun.

Just a shame I dont know one end of a horse from another ;-)
