My wife’s mobile number is weirdly close to this. To the point where I’d have thought that it was either a number they wouldn’t give someone, or you’d have to pay some crazy premium for it. But it was just a random standard price purchase. I’m not going to say what it is obviously, but its like 07766 554433

 

Just on the off chance you’ve really published her number , Time for this

A week late on this but the B-52 bomber celebrated 70 years of flight last Friday. Quite an incredible aeroplane. I think its come up in this thread a few times but oh well. Since entering the aviation world I've paid far more attention to this kind of thing.

I watched her play for villa ladies (obvs) vs man citeh. 

Now, we got battered 4 or 5 nil but that alisha bird looked like she'd just come from a night out - and played like it too.

Fake tan, false eyelashes too as well as full make up - for a bloody football game ! All about image eh ? 🙄

If anyone goes to Orlando I would recommend visiting the B52 Park at the Airport.  Its hidden from plain site and not many people realise its there.  There is a retired B52. It's amazing to see close up.

I need to go to more flight museums. Last one I went to was in Lothian in Scotland. Had a Concorde there which is a magnificent beast

Can't leave that open goal. I'm not angry, just disappointed. FTFY.

A Belisha beacon is an amber-coloured globe lamp atop a tall black and white pole.

Some more totally useless information on the old Belisha beacons is that they were named after Leslie Hore-Belisha who was at the time Minister of Transport

If you travel in a straight line heading northerly you will eventually end up travelling south and vice versa. 
 

But you can walk travel directly east or directly west for ever.
