Speaking of "ten most desirable women on earth", here's Jemima.

Can you tell us about your yardstick?

If you mean what I hope you mean, see my previous Post.

This young lady misses out on financially well-endowed, but more than makes up for it in zest for life & bubbly enthusiamy stuff.

God knows what the fashion police would make of these two.

I just spotted this in my, err, private collection.

Note Jen's Mrs Merson jumper thing. That might be described as crucial.

No less interesting is the chap on the right of the photo, (orange wristband man) who has changed a tad since that photo was taken, which was, I would guess, in around 2005, in Deauville. Name that man.

It was an EPT, & Jen was about to cash bubble, busted by Jon Hewston as I recall.

It most certainly is Mr James Dempsey, yes.

Changed a bit, eh?

Ray, no!

A little intrigue is good for the soul.

Intrigued too.....I was wondering why he wasn't a shoe in to help front up the Wembley push........

Thanks Mully, though, somewhat spookily, Flushy posted the exact same link in this thread an hour ago.

The amount of air-traffic these days beggars belief.

Imagine how much aviation fuel must be consumed every single day, 365 days per year, just to power those magnificent flying machines. Makes you wonder when it will all run out. It MUST run out eventually.

Did you know, for example, that the latest version of the Boeing 747 has a fuel capacity of 53,000 gallons? (Fifty three THOUSAND). Around 1,450 of them are still in daily service. The math is mind-boggling.

So the contents of TEN of these fuel tankers (below) would be needed to fill one x Boeing 747. And there are 1,450 of them in service......

Go on then Kendall, how do they actually fill a 747? Do they run 10 tankers to it?

Fuel is pumped via dedicated pipelines from Fawley & Isle of Grain, direct to a tank farm near Heathrow, & then onwards to the apron stands. 

This is a fascinating website in that regard......

Good to see you are doing the right thing and playing the main. I still don't have enough posts to post in the staking thread but I would still like 1%. Please send me bank details. Hope you are well. I think Vegas is looking unlikely for me at the moment but hopefully some binks in the next few weeks might change that!
