Was only almost worth watching while in the pub, after several pints of [insert ale of choice here], with a sarcastic Togmeister commentating, and lots of other equally inebriated people around, none of whom will be able to remember the next morning that you were watching it and thus are unable to mock you for it…

The perils of living in a democracy. There will always be a minority who will use such things for their own antisocial purposes.

…Such as Spock airing his shreddies in public! 😉

And it’s been so peaceful…

So you’ve been a model of open mindedness and seen both sides of the story all the way through this thread then?

This particular thread has had some very well thought out posts with many pertinent points posted on it while you’ve been on your, er, sabbatical. Points that have been discussed in a well thought-out, balanced, intelligent manner. With your return I feel that sadly, the chances of this remaining the case are very small indeed.

By the way I doubt poking the mods with a pointy stick is the way to make friends and influence people. :rolleyes:

Remember one of them PR9’s nearly landing on me while I was sat at the end of the runway at Leeming in a Bulldog 🙂

I just love this old legend, sorry its likely to be ancient and probably not even true, but it made me laugh.

A USAF jet fighter jockey’s single engine starts running a bit sickly. Understandably, he calls up his nearest air base to request a priority landing only to be surprised to be told he’s number 2 in the queue to land, behind a B-52 with one engine out.

“Ah,” replies the fighter pilot drily, “The dreaded seven engined approach…”

……I’ll get me coat…

Only a true, old-school British officer and gentleman would do such a thing and leave the tent with words such as these. Respect is due.

Aha so perhaps the penny’s finally dropped with her?

Isn’t ‘classy Adidas tracksuit’ a contradiction?!;)

I doubt I’ll be that bothered what I’m wearing when they chuck me in the big oven either BB- I’ll be literally beyond caring!

Sure the state could use better the $250k. They’ll never see that back…
