Oops careful with the bomb-specific terminology Rico, Homeland Security will be paying you a visit.
They're welcome to anytime. I'll make 'em a cup of tea. Anyway, dull stuff as I say but interestingly enough he mentioned in his post that his satnav was unable to lock onto a signal and he presumed it was being jammed by the aforementioned DHS and I don't mean the Social Services. Apparently they do this around George Bush's ranch in Crawford, TX for some reason, probably to prevent low level shoe-straffing runs by the local Muslim fanatics.
Lot of those in Texas are there?
Probably not on balance, but that's by the way of mentioning the mad Channels Islands flying vet, Maurice Kirk, who got himself in to all sorts of bother when he landed his light aircraft near said spread in order to hand deliver a thank-you note to the waning Prez for his (Maurice's) rescue by US Coast Guards.
You could not make this stuff up!
Indeed not. He was detained with extreme prejudice, even unto the local funny farm, until is was established that he was a harmless British nutjob who'd done this sort of thing all over the world at varying times over the past twenty years or so whereupon he was deported back to Blighty with a stoney 'So long and don't come back'.
Maurice Kirk, for it was he, was locked in chokey while the security services established his credentials. His long-suffering wife, asked to comment, said something to the effect that she hoped he'd be back by Sunday because it was his turn to do the washing up.
Don'tcha just love the way it takes an englishwoman to bring everything back down to earth with humour.
I do, I do. Unfortunately, it seems, the US Authorities aren't seeing the funny side.
