Spent all my pocket money on them when I was a kid, and that kindled my interest which I’ve never lost, and which finally led to a PPL (sadly now lapsed). I cannot stop myself looking up at any aircraft, no matter what type it is – to me all flight is magic.

Google this and you’ll find there have been examples of people surviving ejections at supersonic speeds. An exclusive club nobody would want to join!

An old chemistry teacher of mine was notorious for his sayings:

“I teach you everything I know, and still you know nothing!”

“Every time I open my mouth, an idiot speaks!”

“You think I know nothing, but I know bu**er all!”

(pointing at pupil with ruler)
“At the end of this ruler is an idiot!”

All of these are true.
