I'd love to tell you more about the 'other' stuff we used to get up in London and Northern Ireland too! But there is a man in a black cloak outside my apartment with a biggish 9mm lump under his left armpit moving his finger from side to side.............Bloody official secrets act...........I dunno!
Anyway, thread on track............We had some fcukin' hoooooooge batteries!

I wouldn't at all be surprised, if this scenario (B777 Heathrow) were the truth. In fact, I had mentioned this possibility to a friend, following the crash. My expectation however, was that it could have been some "bad guys" doing it intentionally. (osama bin who...)
I would never have dreamed, that Her Majesty and lads could be the culprits. 55555
The same fears of "electronic interference" with some of the "new" aircraft technologies (electronic system controllers), led to the initial ban of cellphone usage on commercial flights.
Even police now, are testing "jamming" devices...to shutdown automobile motors, during police pursuits.
We have strange things happen here in Las Vegas on occasion, as well. I remember a couple of years ago, my electronic garage door opener AND my remote key opener (for my car), went on the blink! Strange coincidence? I drove to the auto dealership, to have the battery checked on my remote key. The man just pushed a copy of a page, from the afternoon newspaper over the counter to me. (He had plasticized it, to save it from tearing)
The news read, that over 100,000 people in the valley had suffered mysterious failures of garage door opener's and remote keys, overnight. 55555
At least I wasn't alone. Nor, had the car dealer been, apparently. 5555
At first I thought that it might be an Nimitz class Aircraft Carrier, sailing through Lake Mead on it's way down the Colorado River. But that idea turned out to be somewhat flawed. 5555
I then, chocked it up to some arriving or departing (secret) flight from Nellis Air Force Base (outskirts of town) and the possibility of inadvertent activation of some secret "ray beam".
Or, who knows what the boys at "Area 51" are ever up to?????

There's just a lot of strange sh1t going on out there!
OK, back to battery's. 555555
