Kev: I was only talking about the Permit fee, ie the fee of £140/£105 payable to the BMAA for issuing the permit, not the actual inspection cost which is...
Of course I could Rick. I was a management accountant and made a very good living doing precisely that. Reminds me of a joke: A person was asking people what...
Not sure that I would hire the second guy. The obvious answers are eleven or 1, being one to the power of 1. The binary is 1010. You know very well that it...
Rick, You are proving that although you were undoubtably very good with numbers you were neither a mathematician nor a cost accountant. I'm off to bed. Pretty...
Very poor understanding of my response, Rick - I was merely pointing out that to suggest the price should be the same for both categories is to miss the whole...
Rick, I think you'll find that 1010 in Binary is 10 in decimal. 10 in binary is 2 in decimal. 1 10 11 100 101 110 111 1000 1001 1010 Cheers James _____ From:...
That's exactly my point, Paul said that 1+1 in binary is 10, that's not the case, 11 = 3 in binary. 10 is 1010. Not sure what you are trying to tell me. I was...
Rick, Are you messin? Paul said "For example in binary 1 + 1 = 10 (still in binary)" He didn't mean 10 as in decimal ! In binary 1 + 10 = 11 (still in binary) ...
James, we are obviously both right. I know that 2 in binary is 10 in binary. Do you agree that annual permits should all attract the same BMAA fee, that's a...
Who is it that has the wonderful sig: "There are only 10 types of people in this world, those that understand binary and those that don't"? Well nothing in...
The secret of persuasion is to speak quietly but carry a big stick (modified from Teddy Rooseveldt. Alternatively, to persuade someone you first grab them by...
By comparison, I've just agreed to pay just under £60k in mod approval fees for one new (albeit fairly large and complex) instrument on our BAe-146 research...
I don’t know Rick, like a lot of these things it all depends on how it affects you and the circumstances you find yourself in. As someone else said, there...
Really Rick! Playing the non-comprehending-but-genuinely-interested-and-fair-minded-average-bloke doesn't wash with me or most if the rest of the people on...

Taking your reply Charlie and James together, the proposition seems to be that the better off should subsidise others, something we do in virtually every...
Rick said: “There are certain things which I can't afford to do. I don't have a large power boat, nor a second or third home abroad, I don't go on expensive...
A classicist - says it all really. Superb at rhetoric, a past master at constructing a logical sounding argument to show that black is white, and a view of...
Rick, Would that me more or less than the rise in your inflation proof pension, which is paid for by the taxpayer now that your old bank has been effectively...
Rick, You have made your attitude very clear a huge number of times. It translates roughly to 'let them eat cake' That is why there will never be a meeting of...
Rick said: "The pressure starts now. I understand that we have awarded a staff salary increase this year above the rate of inflation." What inflation? Isn't...
I suggest that you ask John Moore, who has been put in charge of Staff and Remuneration issues, an appointment which I opposed as he hadn't any obvious...
The date on which to celebrate the origin of the BMAA isn't entirely clear - there were a number of small-scale meetings, and it started out as the British...
Suggest you speak to our new engineer who was the first CTO so it would figure he may know the answer... ... [Non-text portions of this message have been...
