[PR19_Kit]

Packet of various decals from the Big H, that Royal de Havilland sheet that was mentioned on here earlier, an Israeli Kurnass 2000 sheet, a British prototypes and Development sheet and a couple of Tonka F3 sheets, plus some Quickboost Spitfire cameras.

Also the postman bought me a Revell Hunter kit (ex-Hobbycraft) from Weaver. 

And a HUGE parcel from a firm called Intentio who make laser cut wood kits for the model railway market. They announced a kit for worktray which got rave reviews in the model railway press so I ordered one, about 7 weeks ago...............

NUMEROUS emails produced lots of 'I'll look into and get back to you tomorrow' replies but naff all happened until the darn thing arrived y'day. About time too.

Maybe they had to cut down a tree and mill into lumber.......
I order at some restaurants and wonder if they are chasing a cow around the parking lot!

Would you like to see the menu?' he said,
'or would you like meet the Dish of the Day?'

'Huh?' said Ford.
'Huh?' said Arthur.
'Huh?' said Trillian.
'That's cool,' said Zaphod, 'we'll meet the meat.'

- snip -

A large dairy animal approached Zaphod Beeblebrox's table,
a large fat meaty quadruped of the bovine type with
large watery eyes, small horns and what might almost have
been an ingratiating smile on its lips.

'Good evening', it lowed and sat back heavily on its haunches,
'I am the main Dish of the Day. May I interest you in the parts
of my body?'

It harrumphed and gurgled a bit, wriggled its hind quarters in
to a more comfortable position and gazed peacefully at them.

Its gaze was met by looks of startled bewilderment from
Arthur and Trillian, a resigned shrug from Ford Prefect and
naked hunger from Zaphod Beeblebrox.

'Something off the shoulder perhaps?' suggested the animal,
'Braised in a white wine sauce?'

'Er, your shoulder?' said Arthur in a horrified whisper.

'But naturally my shoulder, sir,' mooed the animal contentedly,
'nobody else's is mine to offer.'

Zaphod leapt to his feet and started prodding and feeling
the animal's shoulder appreciatively.

'Or the rump is very good,' murmured the animal. 'I've been
exercising it and eating plenty of grain, so there's a lot
of good meat there.'

It gave a mellow grunt, gurgled again and started to chew
the cud. It swallowed the cud again.

'Or a casserole of me perhaps?' it added.

I think Douglas Adams might be a bit miffed if he did (and if Douglas was still alive): Richard Adams wrote Watership Down....

Of course there are.  We all know that.  You just don't acknowledge it when you post that comment to wind up whoever just called your latest purchase crap.

Well Arthur ate quite a lot of rabbits during his stay on prehistoric Earth, so maybe just tell that bit from the rabbits' perspective:

"There we were, minding our own business when this great big two-legged thing, a bit like a monkey but bigger and wrapped in something it called a 'dressing gown', lept out from behind a bush and bashed Dave's head in with a rock! Then, just to add insult to injury, after he ate Dave he stuck one of his bones in his beard before running off with another similar creature to chase something they called a 'sofa'..."

Beat me to it.

I'm sorry but Watership Down is one of those books I can't get on with, and I quite like rabbits. I shall be avoiding the Beeb's two parter over Xmas like the plague.
