#2 I think the 'sharing' part should be limited to air drops of whatever the ordnance crews hang on the pylons. If they want the video feed, call the local taibunnies; they figgered out how to intercept it.

#7 Share ain't give. This may mean watching degraded videos in a modified ground base.

#8 Oscar:

The slithy toves are gyring and gimboling merrily in the wabe.

What are "Maplins" and what does the verb "to bodge" mean?

#9 Hi Mom

Maplins is an electronics retail franchise in the UK

To bodge = to make in a clumsy way

Sorry , sometimes my English colloquialisms get the better of me !

#11 Far and few, far and few,
Are the lands where the Jumblies live;
Their heads are green, and their hands are blue
And they went to sea in a sieve.

#12 Pardon one more literary riff:

The Pobble who has no toes
Swam across the Bristol Channel.
But before he left, he wrapped his nose
in a wrapper of scarlet flannel.
For his Aunt Jobiska said, "No harm
Can come to his toes if his nose is warm".

Rantburgers, when you've had enough blether from the news media, take an Edward Lear break. He makes more sense than they do.

#13 Sorry , sometimes my English colloquialisms get the better of me !

No apologies needed, Oscar dear, the various English dialects are part of Rantburg's charm. Not to mention the other languages -- surely you've noticed the occasional lapse into Afrikaans on the part of a few commenters? Or the fascinating Yiddish insult thread the other day, which nobody translated for me?

#14 Oscar: "Bodge" must be British for "Kludge" (pronounced "kloodge")

http://thereifixedit.com

And a "riff" is to jazz what a cadenza is to opera: a soloist takes the theme and runs away with it for a few measures (or, in jazz, a lot of measures), unaccompanied.

And now I'd better get offline and impose some order. The kids are off school today.
