You could be right, I often season food with garlic, which is probably why all vampires flee from my and your published posts.Neither did I, as far as I recall. Maybe it's because you and me eat too much garlic!

Skellig Michael - desirable homes on stunningly beautiful island off the Atlantic coast of Ireland - desirable that is if you happen to be a medieval monk!
Here's the island:
Forgive me, Father... but I don't suppose there's a convent on this island as well, is there?
They went there to flee away from the devilish temptations of the female sexForgive me, Father... but I don't suppose there's a convent on this island as well, is there?
Would you believe, right up near the top, needing some serious rock-climbing skills to get to it, there's a hermitage for a monk who wanted to get away from them getting away from it all!

Too late! Lord @Wragg has come from Cruxton Abbey for a retraite, and he has brought with his female staff!

Unfortunately a prototype was destroyed in a promotional flight with other fighter jets, resulting in one pilot's death and cancellation of the program.
There are also some slightly older houses that just need a few minor repairs (the houses, not the girls).

Two people were killed in the accident (8th June 1966) : the co-pilot of the prototype, and the pilot of the F-104 that struck it, after nearing too close and getting uncontralable by the bomber's vortex..
The man reason the program was canceled, were the alredy high costs of the development, and the fact that the aircraft's mission profile, strategic nuclear attacks, could be easier carried out by ICBM's.

Maybe she still could fly her broom. But the years have deteriorated her stealth and aerodynamics characteristics!
The B-70 was to replace the B-52 and the B-58. The B-58 was in service ten years (1960-1970). The B-70 never went into production while the B-52 is being upgraded to continue service till the 2060s... it will be over a hundred years it will be in service...

Most aircraft have a projected life expectancy for the airframe. It would interesting to know what the Boeing engineers thought the B-52's would be. I'll bet it wasn't anywhere near 108 years (2060), or even 72 years (2024).

Inch Abbey, near Downpatrick on the softer, east side of (Northern) Ireland, just across the water from Eul. Apparently featured in Game of Thrones.
And I was told that St. Patrick was at Inch Abbey when he started removing all the snakes from Ireland.
