Late nigel model 185

Friend has found one liz stepping up foon a 180 sp gree call haul his teenagers with him in comfort, and have fuel and gear. He noticed the stock rear seats afford much leg room tour back set. He found some back sets that cover up and covered the tail from tragedy what's the pane.

WOW....I'm good :oops: I don't even know how to do the text to speech on my texting, much less on this forum. I'm taking the 5th on this one. I'd like to say it was a great party, or, that I don't usually mix Scotch & Tequila, but none of that applies....it was just a normal quiet "gotta go to work in the morning" evening. I did fall asleep with the phone in bed - not on the charger, woke up with it under me. Earlier in the evening, I was talking with my friend about the second row seat in a 185 that he's dealing on. I asked wife if I talk in my sleep - she said once in a while a word or two (ex girlfiends name, etc.), but never an entire recital. I'm both embarrassed and laughing my ass off ! There is some great sense of humor around here.

Anyway,
A friend is dealing on a late 70's 185, moving up from his 180. He commented that the middle seat seems further forward than the back seat of his 180 - presumably to allow room for the third row seats in the 185. His son (who is not named Nigel) is 5'8" and growing, and he was concerned about legroom for Non Nigel. He found a seat setup that involves installing seat rails for a middle row seat that would slide back, remove easy, etc. I was curious if anyone had any thoughts on that or any different ideas ?

Re: Late nigel model 185

Can you rewrite that so it makes a bit more sense?

Mine’s an early Simon. They came out right after the late Nigels.

Re: Late nigel model 185

That's about the way some of my voice mail translations look. That's also why I don't trust voice activated stuff--if a simple translation doesn't make sense, how can I trust a voice-activated navigation device to take me anywhere I really want to go? So far, the most common answer I get from Siri is "I'm sorry, Cary, I'm not permitted to do that!"

Re: Late nigel model 185

Great thread, but my favourite recent wordplay comes from the guy that owns the property under the approach to one of our (not very busy at all) runways.

He originally had the call signs of the local school's two 172s with a big F U after them but now his message reads: "Sky Noise Dogs-- Go to Hell!"

And now we call ourselves the Sky Noise Dog Crew.

I’m reminded of the scene with Benicio del Toro in Usual Suspects when they were all in the line up. “In English please”.
