:-D :-D

I'll send you one of our drop bears

Edit; here's a link https://australianmuseum.net.au/learn/animals/mammals/drop-bear/

We have coyotes very similar to dingoes....promise next time I see a Polar bear wandering down the street I'll point him/her in your direction Allan :-D

I want a polar bear, we only have drongos, sorry, dingoes here :-( ;-)

First it's not for Polar bears or complying possibly bias reports....second....the Snowbirds of course.....

So Rollo why not ask the same of others oh right I'm the only one mocking.....

So what does Caroline think the RCAF multi billion dollar budget is for ?
Wing walking ?
And the next gen submarines ?

Sorry fell asleep half way through that rambling possibly bias report....did I miss the Polar bear comments??

And Maggie size doesn't always matter........

Oooh - who's forgotten his tiny URL?

No, I hadn't misread anything.

No polar bears around here either. They can't get across the M25 without mishap.

Light freezing rain now and Rollo misread something.....never!

Caroline ..............

I just thought he was confused, or hadn't read the news items thoroughly ;-)


I don't like the sound of ice pellets


We have snow ....... the radio says "light snow", but it's more than that where I live!

No Sylvia he defo said Canada not Russia :-D

Are they worried about melting ice has anyone actually surveyed them? :-)

Sylvia.....ice pellets right now......

Too late Ken the RCAF is already buying used F18 Hornets from the Ozzies.
The RCAF relies on various versions of the Hornet going all the way from now to 1980.

Various ways to ug to a modern MRCA frame have been considered but all rejected for reason of cost. The F35 remains a possibility.

Even the latest versions of the Hornet would not stand a chance against current Russian front line aircraft. It is not only the polar bears who are worried about melting ice.

iskra!

snowed until the early morning hours, then started again just in time for rush hour. Another 10 cm or so on top of yesterday's.

Unlike yesterday, all schools, colleges and universities in the Lower Mainland are closed, including in Vancouver ............... transit is running but slowly and with difficulty. Vancouver does have a lot of hills that are problematic in snow and ice, largely due to car drivers without proper winter tires spinning out or stalling.

Skytrain is fine in the underground portions but the elevated tracks are a problem with snow and ice accumulation . The trains don't seem to have snow clearers cum cow catchers on the front of them like the regular trains have.



I thought Rollo was referring to the polar bears that are in all the news at the moment, invading the small town in the Russia.

No thanks we get Tornados in the summer....oh...the planes.... :-D

It's like spring here today. Not a polar bear for miles.

If the Canadians are interested there's a fleet of Tornados that could be available from the end of the month.

It's snowing.....at least the bears will be happy...

update on the side issue......they've just closed all the schools before a flake has fallen....they never close our schools due to funding....now watch it won't snow....I wish!!

"Canada of course has a problem withe the polar bears."

Oh right sorry....your previous comment and then your last one I thought you were on about polar bears being a problem because they were dying off etc.....but depends on who you listen to doesn't it......
