As much as it pains me to do this...

Glad you finally struck a good one, old bean. Totally agree that with an HdM you always know what you're gonna get but PD4's can be a bit hit and miss but the good one's certainly make it worthwhile persevering.

Glad you finally met the right one. Cigars and women have a lot in common. So what will you be doing with all that time on your hands once you retire, maybe visit the brothers in Blighty ?

S'true. In fact, STS-132, Shuttle Atlantis, scheduled for launch 14th May, will be my last one. Will miss the last two launches after putting in 27 years at the Space Center as an employee. Will have to watch them from home with all the other retardees... errr, I mean, retirees. However, they promised me I could light the Main Engines on STS-132 and instead of flicking my Bic, as is traditional, I think I shall light them off with a D4!

Holy shit! You get to fire-off rockets into space! I am in awe sir.

They don't call me rokkitsci for nothing, y'know

Yup. Pretty good gig. Space Shuttle launches are awesome: a grandiose display of raw power. It's been a really nice run...
