vendor of AP motors can now ship

25 September 2008 - 12:52 PM

Good news, below is a copy of a post on TRF.

Hi All UK flyers

At last some good news from a courier, Business Post. They have agreed that we can send UN0349 Class 1.4S Aerotech motors via courier. This means thats Econojets and Single Use motors can now at last be shipped. We know this is only a small potion of AP motors, but it is a start.

We have already altered our website to allow shipping.

We hope that by the end November will have some further great news with regard shipping of other AP motors, including huge ones and even shipping black powder.__________________

Dave

Dave was bragging to his boss one day, 'You know, I know everyone there is to know.
Just name someone, anyone, and I know them.'

Tired of his boasting, his boss called his bluff, 'OK, Dave, how about Tom Cruise?'

'No dramas boss, Tom and I are old friends, and I can prove it.'

So Dave and his boss fly out to Hollywood and knock on Tom Cruise's door and Tom Cruise shouts,
'Dave! What's happening? Great to see you! Come on in for a beer!'

Although impressed, Dave's boss is still skeptical. After they leave Cruise's house, he tells Dave that he thinks
him knowing Cruise was just lucky.

'No, no, just name anyone else,' Dave says.

'President Bush,' his boss quickly retorts.

'Yup,' Dave say's, 'Old buddies, let's fly out to Washington '

And off they go. At the White House, Bush spots Dave on the tour and motions him and his boss over, saying,
'Dave, what a surprise, I was just on my way to a meeting, but you and your friend come on in and
let's have a cup of coffee first and catch up.'

Well, the boss is very shaken by now but still not totally convinced.
After they leave the White House grounds he expresses his doubts to Dave , who again implores him to name anyone else.

'The Pope,' his boss replies.

'Sure!' says Dave. 'I've known the Pope for years.' So off they fly to Rome .

Dave and his boss are assembled with the masses at the Vatican's St.
Peter's Square when Dave says, 'This will never work. I can't catch the Pope's eye among all these people.
Tell you what, I know all the guards so let me just go upstairs and I'll come out on the balcony with the Pope.'

He disappears into the crowd headed towards the Vatican.

Sure enough, half an hour later Dave emerges with the Pope on the balcony , but by the time Dave returns,
he finds that his boss has had a heart attack and is surrounded by paramedics.

Making his way to his boss' side, Dave asks him, 'What happened?'

His boss looks up and says, 'It was the final straw ... you and the Pope
came out on to the balcony and the man next to me said, 'Who the hell is that on the balcony with Dave?'
