    People who hold views or beliefs and expect everyone else to be bound by them also. Related to this, people who want to stop others doing things that don’t have any significant negative effect on others, just because they disagree with them or because they wouldn’t want to do it themselves… There are many examples, from people on the left and the right.

    Try living in the US, some of these people choose to be deliberately thickheaded & are willfully ignorant of even the most basic laws of physics & totally lack ANY common sense…. Then they get offended when you try to educate their offspring to prevent the morons from breeding even more bloody clueless morons.

    & in related news: Califailure is cutting the High School science requirement from 2 years to one. This is because we have a $16Billion budget deficit…. but they won’t do a damn thing about the $22Billion they **** away on bloody illegals every effing year…

    I’m seriously thinking about turning in my green card so I can also get free health care & not have to produce a driving license or proof of insurance if I get pulled over by the Dibble…

    People who tailgate on the motorway (or any road for that matter) for any reason. Just doesn’t make sense.
    Especially when there is a perfectly clear lane to overtake with and I am in the nearside lane.
    Wot, can’t they make a logical decision for themselves so feel better if they follow me?

    I had one yesterday on the freeway, even at 80mph they wouldn’t change lanes to pass me so I just slowed…. & slowed…. & slowed… & slowed until we were doing about 50mph. As soon as they changed lanes I nailed it WFO up to Warp Factor Stupid & they were last seen about 1/2mile behind me…

    Prince William and Prince Harry 🙂

    Not forgetting dad Chuck & his brother Andy….

    Did Princess Edward learn to fly? (outside of being a panto fairy of course)

    Nah, they haven’t washed the prop recently. Boghopper was sent to the stores to get some last Friday and hasn’t come back yet.

    He got tangled up & tripped over the flight line.

    Actually that dent looks about the right size for a golf ball strike… Someone been buzzing the greens? 😉

    Possibly, but fragment damage from a strafing run on a German steam locomotive sounds so much better!

    I well remember the stink in the hangar after TFC’s other one made a P47 shaped hole in a flock of birds many years ago. It was a bit ripe for a few days…

    That quote actually comes from Robert Stanford-Tuck after he test flew a P-47. I believe it is repeated in his biography, Fly For Your Life.

    I shall call him on that next time I see him 🙂

    Former Jag & TFC pilot Bagshaw had a brother in the RCAF I think..?

    When they were all being scrapped it’s a pity no one thought to get one of each example & put them on a hangar wall someplace…

    Modify a Tank & put the ATM machine inside it, mount camera close by to catch the next ram raid result…;)

    I did fire it a few times but haven’t again in years. What have I done to it by firing it?

    Nothing, except ensured it still works. Just make sure you clean & lube it after a day at the range.

    Oh! Did he poke and prod things that maybe he shouldn’t have?? Either way, kind of backs up my opinion of the guy! :diablo:

    Just about everything with the exception of the starter tit. They had to have someone go over the cockpit after he got out of it & reset everything back to how it was before he sat in it… EVERY time…
