    ?????

    Mods.

    I’m sure I posted to this thread on the 10th Feb. I’m sure it wasn’t offensive.
    So where be it?

    First, and only ‘post’…..I think it has something to do with “Watch The Wolfman Online Free”!
    I should stress that you don’t need to allow the speed to build-up; full accelerator at 40mph will do…

    …and then brake gently.

    Did that years ago in a Pug 205. I think we all do it to see what happens. It steered to the left because the brakes were totally ship with a T. Then it stalled. But I did slow down before stall.

    Present 7 series may have to go. The purity and beauty of 4.4 litres is astounding. But I expected to get 21 mpg, I do so on long runs but short hops is most of my driving now, and 11 mpg is getting expensive. 90 litre tank is £100.80 to fill and the last tankful got me 242 miles. I knew all this at the time of buying, but I was expecting about 18-21 mpg which IMO was worth the luxury and affordable.

    Slicing my finger along with a cucumber.

    How on earth can you break a violin ?

    You need one of those slicer thingies. All slices are 0.125″ +-0.002″ and your digits are behind a guard. (That’s 1/8th of an inch +- a fat human hair)

    He broke his Violin like we all did, it just lends itself to being a Bow n Arrow.

    PMN – You have opened a can of worms here! 😀

    1. T.V. adverts.
    2. T.V, adverts being so much LOUDER than the programme that they interrupt. (Thank God for the ‘mute’ button.)
    3. Radio D.J.s talking over the last 15 seconds (or more) of a track.
    4. Sensationalist/ poorly-researched B.S. in the “News”.*
    5. The incessant references to MMGW/ climate change/ CO2 in 90% of current documentaries.**

    * Classics include any reports on air or rail accidents.
    ** Repeating the same old tired mantra will NOT change my opinion.
    Didn’t Goebbels use the same strategy? Tell ’em a lie often enough, and loudly enough, and people will believe it to be true?!

    The TV companies swear on a stack of Bibles that the broadcast volume is not altered for the ads. They are complete and utter liars.

    Oh, it’s mentioned somewhere above, and I’ve heard it twice this week!!! It grates the very soul of ingleesh langwidge.

    “Can I get…..”
    People, don’t do this. You are copying the language of the USA. As Prince Phil the Greek once said (Quoting somebody else) “We are two nations seperated by a common language but joined at the Atlantic”.
    KEEP TO THE OXFORD, throw away your tiresome and incorrect Websters!!!

    Did the Concorde ever wear BI colours in regular operations? (as opposed to PR/ad duty).

    I was under the impression it was an interchgange with BI crew from DC to DFW…or something similar.

    Also, would the plane have to have US registration?
    The reason I ask is many years ago I saw my sister onto a 737 (what airline I can’t recall), and I was surprised to note Irish registration on the wings. It was obviously leased.

    Leasing arrangements often cause this.

    I was convinced that any and all signage on concorde had to be painted, due to the temperatures and speeds Concorde operated at.

    Nope.
    Braniff operated between Washington and ???? in the US. It never went over mach 0.95 (Allegedly).
    As it was a hated product in the US (Envy!!!!), the B727’s on the same route were full whilst the Concorde would take an average of 18 pax.
    After this hub flight, the machine was handed to Air France (Or BA) in an official way, and the decals were peeled off again. At every flight FFS!
