Good morning / aftetnoon / evening everyone

Happy new year @Ati2

Well, we went to a Chinese restaurant for dim sum this morning. When the hostess saw us, she lit up with a huge smile and you can see dollar signs in her eyesand all the wait staff just rolled their eyes as we were led to our table

Very few countries actually have polar bears in a zoo, in the timezone you are in it's Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Russia and Ukraine. It's a dead ringer for the zoo in Tallinn

looks nice there, I should go one day

 

[Giskler]

Tallinn zoo is also about 1 hour walk from the city center where the hotels are

The NATO air base Ämari is 37 km south of Tallinn.

The RAF recently deployed to Estonia for their mission in policing the baltic air space:

You said Bristol was the closest city and there are two air bases near Bristol, Lyneham and Boscombe Down.

You are probably a network engineer in the RAF

Bristol is the nearest airport to my house.

Lyneham is not a RAF base anymore but belongs to the Army and is the REME foundation college. My mother's partner's ashes are buried there She chose it because he served 24 years in the REME even though for all that time Lyneham was RAF and he was never based there.

Boscombe Down is near Salisbury, I go past it sometimes when I'm driving about. Hardly surprising as I live in that general area

Well last week he thought I was military intelligence

If I was in the RAF wouldn't I be at the airbase and not in a hotel?

You also stated there's an argicultural college nearby which has to be the Royal Agricultural University

But you did mention planes......... Were you the pilot?

Never heard of the Royal Agricultural University, I will have to look it up

That's a long way north of me

But you did mention planes......... Were you the pilot?

Yes but I only fly my space shuttle

You probably live near Chippenham

I will prepare a landing pad. Dinner is almost ready.

 

[Ati2]

Ah! There we go!

NASA!

 

[Cursedveggie]

well the 4 places you mention gives an area of roughly 2800 km^2, that's a fairly large part of SW England which is where I live.

I will prepare a landing pad. Dinner is almost ready.

Thanks, I'm starving. Will be right over
