Good afternoon SAM :-)

Thanks for posting RR's speech before the British Parliment, truly a classic. Did you see MadIvan's anity on RR? The link is

in case you missed it.

Your comment about the rain and the Rose Festival reminds me about the Richards-Gebaur(RG) Air shows during the 80s.

At that time RG was an Air Force reserve base and of course all Air Force bases have to have some sort of annual open house or air show. It was a cheap day out for the family, besides where else could you let 4 kids run around without to many worries.

Any how it always seemed to at least sprinkle once during the
festivities. So one year we had just gotten to the show and set up our gear so that we could enjoy the day and here comes the obligatory rain shower, only lasted a few minutes but you could see folks wondering if they should head out or what. Then over the PA comes the show announcer welcoming everybody to the Annual RG rain shower, well it was good for a laugh.

Regards

I only posted the last few paragraphs of the speech before Parliment. It was way to long for a post.

Thanks for the link to MadIvan's thread.

You can almost set your calendar to the Rose Festival. I only remember one year without the rain. We do manage to get by with real light rain some years.
