Okay - I have a question that is actually related to this thread.

Has anyone seen the movie Biggles:Adventures in Time ?

Ushgarak Paladin

To my shame, yes.

Gundark Mayhem

Oh Goody !!!

Okay - what was that weapon they used when Biggles and his buddies all ran in that igloo thingie to shield themselves ?

Ushgarak Paladin

My apologies, I do not remember it THAT well! At least, I try not to.

Can you give me a description?

Is that the Biggles with the famous line: "Poke her with the soft cushions?" 😄

Biggles a real British hero

Gundark Mayhem

Well I don't quite remember the weapon...I think it was like a big see-thru drive in movie screen that emitted some kind of sound waves or something ?

But I definately remember the igloo thingie cause they all ran in there after a siren went off or something and they locked the door and some poor bastard came running up and wanted in and they wouldn't let him and the weapon thingie got him. And they watched out the little windows. It reminded me of an igloo flying saucer, actually.

But I liked Biggles. *puts bag over head*

The way you describe it here, it does sound likeable. 😄 Quite contrary to the experience of watching it though. 😉

Gundark Mayhem

I can't believe you haven't seen it.

Ushgarak Paladin

I mean, Biggles- Adventures in Time!!? We'll have Hornblower on the Nimitz next.

queeq Chaos

I DID see it Gundy. And it was, as I said, not a likeable experience.

Gundark Mayhem

Well it was the only thing on that saturday afternoon and I never saw it....but I never watched it again. 😉

The USS Nimiz is the biggest air carft carrier in the hole world right?
it is a class of aircraft carriers not just one ship. The other "sister" ships to USS Nimitz are: USS Harry S. Truman, USS Dwight D Eisenhower , USS Carl Vinson USS Theodore Roosevelt USS Abraham Lincoln ,USS George Washington USS John C Stennis USS Ronald Reagan and the tent and last, not named yet, will be in service around 2008.

They are the biggest warships ever built

I vote for USS W. Wacko !!!

finti Senior Member

USS George W Bush in other words

yerssot Senior Member

no that would be ... errr... nah... pdf is too close for that 😉

queeq Chaos

I'd hardly call George W. worthy of a topic in the PDF. 😄
