I'll get that for private use and rig it with a VR headset instead, might get play some simulators again. Smile | :)

I plan to do it the other way around. I started with simulators and model helicopters and plan to get into a real one at least once. Going all the way and making the pilot license probably would not be very smart, but why not take a lesson or two?

Not sure if its the same model but got the recommendation from a coworker to use Peltor so it's leaning towards those. I'm not the end user, just the middle man tasked to find them. Smile | :)

They have many models, go to their homepage and find the ones having the functionality you want.

Based on your answer to Rage, I guess these[^] or these[^] would work.

I use the Jabra Steel BT headset - not because I really need it, but it works great. I have bounced around Jabra, Plantronics, etc. and have just about settled on Jabra as my go to BT product.

Re: Little Johnny's back.

Little Johnny and his family was having Sunday dinner at his Grandmother's house. Everyone was seated around the table as the food was being served. When Little Johnny received his plate, he started eating right away.
"Johnny! Please wait until we say our prayer". said his mother.
"I don't need to" the boy replied.
"Of course, you do" his mother insisted. "We always say a prayer before eating at our house".
"That's at OUR house". Johnny explained. "But this is Grandma's house, and she knows how to cook!"

Is there any way to determine accurately HOW OLD THAT JOKE is???

Re: Little Johnny's back.

Jörgen Andersson5-Jul-16 11:10

So Chris Evans is apparently gone.

5-Jul-16 11:10

Doubt it, but it's at least old enough to have been forgotten by most people here, judging by the fact that it took more than 24 hour before the first comment of this kind.

Huh? What have you heard? BBC was standing by him this morning.

Yup. Just catching up with the news. Not sure that LeBlanc would be in a position to take the lead if his new sitcom takes off in the States as expected. Wouldn't be at all surprised if BBC give it up as a bad job now.

Thank God, Chris Evans[^] didn't leave. I'd be disappointed if it was like that.

Well, it would probably be better if they'd swapped the two Chris's.
But then again, Captain America would've turned into a comedy, for the wrong reasons. Smile | :)

It will help, but its not the only problem. Its was the biggest one, but not the only one.

If I may ask, what do you think are the other problems with the show?

RossMW4-Jul-16 19:06

I'll agree that Chris was the main problem, but others are
- The interaction of presenters comes across as very staged and wooden.
- Some of the other presenters appear to be trying too hard and it appears very fake.
- it doesn't have snywhere the humour of the predecessors because there no natural interaction.
- the program just doesn't flow anymore.....

I'm sure there others, there the main ones.

I haven't been following it since the trio departed and I'm kinda glad about it after reading your post. I think like another OP says below, it's about time to put the show to rest. Frown | :(

That is, unless of course they can address the problems you've outlined and make it as interesting as it used to be.

It has a chance to improve now that Chris has left, but it will never be as good as the original. Just like the Aussie and US version which were never as good as the original but we're still Ok.

Original? The original was hosted by Angela Rippon in 1977 and various others, including Noel Edmonds, in subsequent years. The Clarkson/May/Hammond version was effectively a revamp of a revamp which avoided the trap of trying to be the same show only with different presenters.

I am not a number. I am a ... no, wait!

RossMW5-Jul-16 9:07

I sit corrected. We only had the Clarkson Hammond May version on our shores. Smile | :)

They show needs to go away. Only that will save it.

What is it with many people in sports and in TV/film industry that they do not realize it is time to go away?
