Make your [pick](http://www.nationmultimedia.com/webblog/blog/349/2504/images/0000002133.jpg), I’d call her a helicopter.

Autogyro, as it is a rotary-wing machine with an unpowered main rotor.

Here’s a [short article](http://www.aviastar.org/helicopters_eng/wallis_nelly.php) on Ken Wallis and his small autogyros, including Little Nellie.

Yanno - that’s not bad, at all, considering I don’t think I’ve seen any Bond film completely through. 😉

I took it to mean that you’ve earned a great deal of goodwill, and patience for running these feuds. A few speed bumps along the way just aren’t going to bother most of us.

Pretty bad . I merely doubled Otak and Worm. I have my sights on so much more. I need to triple them. I can be a star. i can have the feud named after me. I can conquer the world. I throw my shoes at them. I toss my jock .I fart in their general direction.

Whatever… I was trying to get in at the last second and drew a blank for some reason.

FTR I didn’t make it anyway.

Hmmm, another average score for me. Doesn’t seem to matter what the topic is either. There are some answers that I know just aren’t popular enough, perhaps I should Google for them in future.

That really doesn’t work either. I’ve Googled a few times and rarely has it had an impact ☹
