	<description><![CDATA[I make the ID cards for each of the S&R Team and renew them when necessary.<br>Being a member of the Support Team I've never needed one so I've never had <br>one.<br><br>Until today, that is, cos tomorrow we're off to promote the Team at some <br>Police Show or other and if I'm to be allowed onto the ground I must show my <br>ID. So we've had to do one for me and at present I'm sat here with it joined <br>to my jumper cos I'm quite chuffed that after all this time I'm at last a <br>*real* Support Team member :-)<br><br>Who's daft, then?

	<description><![CDATA[This is a little difficult for me as I try to find the words necessary to <br>explain.<br><br>My Cousin in Australia popped up on Skype yesterday morning to tell me that <br>his dear Wife Barbara is poorly, very poorly.<br><br>She was diagnosed 6 weeks ago with a brain tumour and was operated on two <br>days ago, when they removed three quarters of the thing. It's grade 4 cancer, <br>the virulent kind.<br><br>She's been given 12 to 15 months of life. That, as we all know, can only be <br>an estimate.<br><br>As John said "it has effectively killed her, it's just a matter of waiting <br>for the actual date of leaving".<br><br>Now, John and Barbara are the main carers for his Mum who is old and blind <br>and lives alone nearby, needing constant care, which they are now unable to <br>give and that hurts them.<br><br>If you have the capacity and the will, and I'm sure you have, may I ask you <br>kindly to spare a thought and a prayer for them?<br><br>Thank you.<br><br>Goromoff<br>

	<description><![CDATA[If you had purchased £1000 of Northern Rock shares one year ago it would<br>now be worth £4.95,<br>With HBOS, earlier this week your £1000 would have been worth £16.50,<br>£1000 invested in XL Leisure would now be worth less than £5,<br>but if you bought £1000 worth of Tennents Lager one year ago, drank it all,<br>then took the empty cans to an aluminium re-cycling plant,<br>you would get £214. So based on the above statistics the best current<br>investment advice is to drink heavily and re-cycle!!!!<br>

	<description><![CDATA[1. Every take-off is optional, every landing is mandatory.<br>2. If you push the stick forward, the houses get bigger. If you pull the <br>stick back, they get smaller. That is, unless you keep pulling the stick <br>all the way back, then they get bigger again.<br>3. Flying is not dangerous. Crashing is what's dangerous!<br>4. High speeds are not dangerous. Coming to a sudden stop is dangerous!<br>5. It is always better to be down here, wishing you were up there, than <br>up there wishing to be down here!<br>6. The only time you have too much fuel on board, is when you are on fire.<br>7. The propeller is just a big fan in front of the airplane, used to <br>keep the pilot cool. When it stops, you can actually watch the pilot <br>start sweating.<br>8. When in doubt, hold on to your altitude. No one has ever collided <br>with the sky.<br>9. A 'good' landing is one from which you can walk away. A 'great' <br>landing is one after which they can use the airplane again.<br>10. Learn from the mistakes of others. You won't live long enough to <br>make all of them yourself.<br>11. You know you have landed with the wheels up if it takes full power <br>to taxi to the ramp.<br>12. The probability of survival is inversely proportional to the angle <br>of arrival. Large angle of arrival, small probability of survival and <br>vice versa.<br>13. Never let an aircraft get you somewhere your brain didn't get five <br>minutes earlier.<br>14. Stay out of the clouds. The silver lining everybody keeps talking <br>about, might be another airplane going in the opposite direction. <br>Reliable sources also report that mountains have been known to hide out <br>in clouds.<br>15. Always try to keep the number of landings you make equal to the <br>number of take-offs you have made.<br>16. There are three simple rules for making a smooth landing. <br>Unfortunately no one knows what they are.<br>17. You start with a bag full of luck and an empty bag of experience. <br>The trick is to fill the bag of experience, before you empty your bag of <br>luck.<br>18. Helicopters can't fly. They are just so ugly the earth repels them.<br>19. If all you can see out of the window is ground that's going round <br>and round, and all you can hear is commotion coming from the passenger <br>compartment, things are not as they should be.<br>20. In the ongoing battle between airplanes going hundreds of miles per <br>hour and the ground going zero miles per hour, the ground has yet to loose.<br>21. Good judgement comes from experience. Unfortunately, the experience <br>usually comes from bad judgement.<br>22. It is always a good idea to keep the pointed end going forward as <br>much as possible.<br>23. Keep looking around. There is always something you've missed.<br>24. Remember, gravity is not just a good idea. It is the law. And it's <br>not subject to repeal.<br>25. The four most useless things to a pilot are altitude above you, <br>runway behind you, air in the fuel tank and a tenth of a second ago.<br>26. Lastly, always check the runway number; then double check!<br>
