* Budgie News: "Are you surprised at how much the Tsingtao ChopChop looks like your ABBuzzsaw? We had a pic of it in last week's Budgie News and the resemblance is quite remarkable."

Flack: "Who your lordship - Budgie News?"

Buzz: "No you blithering idiot - the Chinese!"

*Most bizarre "gizzit" at the HAI helicopter show: A turbine blade shaped out of chocolate. Even less useful than a chocolate teapot, but very tasty.

*Most bizarre stand attraction. Lasso-twirling cowboys who were apparently trying to "rope in" new business.
