If I don’t go to Southend AirShow this weekend, and if Hazel doesn’t book up the last weekend in June for her birthday (which I’m not missing, even for this), I’ll go to the RAF Waddington AirShow.

Many of you have seen this, but if you haven't, or just haven't bothered, go to and add a stern 'No' to the comments if you don't want LJ to become like MySpace, etc ( Read more... )
