Back from the warmth of Morocco,its nest building time

Crow has seen a few news headlines

Did you see the new statue of the Queen Mother yesterday, She has a bronze Owl sitting on her head

Or is it a Crow?

Apparently, having a bird on her head keeps the pidgeons away

[The-Crow]

Crow went to Olney Yesterday to watch the Pancake Race

You may not know there are 3 races.

The first race at 11.50am   is a false start for the TV cameras, the runners pretend to start and run for only 20m

The second race at 11.55am is the TV crews and camera men racing up the track to the finish line to film the end

This is the most popular part and gets cheers and claps from the crowd as they struggle with tripods, long lenses and steps

The third race is the real race at 12.00 noon,  but the start  is not shown on Tv,

 as all the cameramen and crew are waiting  at the finish line by the Church

Let Vinni worry about who's coming in and out of this country whilst you concentrate on shipping every horse race in site.

Our local paper showed a picture of an early aircraft trainer, used up at our airfield until recently

The Somers-Kendall or SK1 is an experimental plane was built in the early 1950s it was single seat, no wheels (landed on water or grass). : Power was by a small jet engine located behind the pilot with intakes on both sides. exhaust was thru the V-tail on top of the fuesage.  It's primary mission was to provide low level reconninance over Japan's rice paddies which cover thousands of square miles. It's water cabability allowed landing in the paddies without rice damage, check out suspested activity , and depart with a water take off run of few hundred feet.

Having no wheels it was hard to land and take off, so students had to carry it along the runway and run v fast untill it flew

Landing was a bit harder and bumpier, no one was willing to try and catch it.


Ok, the snow is gone , but here are my best pictures of Snowbears and one snowpig

Only 5 days to go till the best film of 2009 opens

Watchmen the Movie                the trailers on Youtube

[thetank]

The bird is mad on that Watchmen malarky, going to see it on Saturday.
She lent me the graphic novel and I'm trying to get it read before then.

[ x ] On chapter 2

[  ] I know wtf is going on.

As far as I can tell so far, the only one with any superpowers to speak of is the dodgy naked blue chap. The rest of them just like dessing up?

More about Watchmen

The music on the trailer is by The Smashing Pumpkins.

The track is "the Beginning is the End of the Beginning"  see Youtube for variations

Send a heartbeat to
The void that cries through you
Relive the pictures that have come to pass
For now we stand alone
The world is lost and blown
And we are flesh and blood disintegrate
With no more to hate

Is it bright where you are
And Have the people changed
Does it make you happy you're so strange
And in your darkest hour
Now all secrets fade
We can watch the world devoured in its pain


The Other music is by Philip Glass his "Prophecy" track

Its the same as the music from Grand Theft Auto 4

The film is set in the 1980's when the cold war with Russia was still on,the book says the watchmen have retired but some are being killed off.

The blue guy is Dr. Manhattan who experimented with matter in 1950  and blew himself to bits in his lab by mistake.

Years later he pulled himself together and returned to Earth, able to control molecules at will

The girl in Yellow is Silk Spectre 2  , her mum was Silk Spectre 1
