List of things you don't see nowadays...

Pinball machines in pubs - I'm tulip at pool but could make a quid last ages on a pinball machine. I'm tempted to buy one but we have nowhere to put it. It'll be on the list if we get our house extended!

This place in town has loads of them, including some quite old ones. In Germany its called flipper, and : http://www.goldene-krone.de/this place I go to: Willkommen auf der Startseite, has a cool AC/DC one along with around 300 malt whiskeys

I bought £6000 worth of shares in Dixons in 1998. Do you know how much they're worth now?

1E+38 x the value of Woolworths shares?

Not much more than that. £300.

bollux!

I remember looking down on a Harrier hurtling along the valley from Brecon to Crickhowel.

I was on a hill overlooking it.

And it's not a very high hill.

Growing up in Cumbria this was a daily occurrence and yes they did fly very, very low. I swear the navigator in a Tornado waved at me once time flying at a height not much higher than my house.

Used to see the lot Harriers, Jaguars, etc. Mostly training jets now, Hawk jet, etc.

Although technically not an air raid siren, we have tests a couple of times of the year of a siren as there is a rather large chemical company (Merck) here. You can hear it for miles and the first time I heard it I tulip myself: DarmstadtNews.de | Probealarm

Several hydro-electrickery dams near us so we get the flood and evacuate sharpish siren tests once a year.

I forgot the other cold war relic

Fighter jets practicing low level manouvers in the lake district



Air shows only now

I had a low flying jet pass overhead when I was driving along the top of the Yorkshire moors.

I had the sunroof open and windows shut.

Full blast of noise hurtled down into the car with nowhere to go and it bloody deafened me.

I was half convinced the pilot did it on purpose.

At the start of the first Gulf War, cruise missile mission mappers routed several of them right over a Western peace camp in the desert.
