Just read about a British WWII officer who:
- Stormed Normandy carrying a longsword (and got 40 of the enemy to surrender doing the same at Salerno)
- Played the bagpipes before charges
- Got the last confirmed longbow kill in combat
- Escaped two POW camps
What an absolute mad lad.
Which is why the Tornado (Europe’s most advanced fighter at the time) which took this photo was only able to keep up with Concorde for 2 minutes before having to refuel.
If you have a commercial aircraft that can casually do Mach 2 over 3000 miles against a fighter that can do Mach 2 only over 300, then there’s a problem.
Key bit being “over distance”. How far can an F-14 super cruise (if at all) for?
The problem with Trump’s strategy is that Iran knows America better than any American.
Iran knows all they have to do to win this war is cause market fluctuations to such an extent that cheeseburgers in Florida go up by 2 cents and the Americans will do a Vietnam and cave.
Iran reading Trump’s social media like…
Oh Jesus he has a brother 😳
If Lucas Bergvall would like to avoid relegation by moving to a successful Manchester based club I am happy to help him move this weekend as this weekend is the weekend I am free to help people move football clubs if they want to move club this weekend on this weekend.
Fun fact:
The biggest conspiracy theory behind Concorde’s retirement is that the American government forced it through after 9/11 as Concorde was faster over a distance than all of the United States’ interceptor aircraft at the time meaning one could not be shot down if hijacked.
Lots of people questioning whether the King should visit the United States. I think he definitely should; to recolonise it.
If we were capable of bringing back dinosaurs… Maybe we could also create mini dinosaurs to fix this problem
One thing we don’t tend to discuss but we should is how hardworking staff in Village are - from bar people, drag queens/kings, cleaners, Angels etc.
Their working hours seem insane and the money must be patchy.
There really should be like a “Village employment code” to set good standards.
Question:
What if we did Jurassic Park… But just brought the nice dinosaurs back?
A brachiosaurus would look great in Salford.

Breakfast. Lunch. Dinner. Always
Why is it that the lower a takeaway’s hygiene rating is, the better the food is?

The hangover is still hangovering
Haha they do
My mum’s done our family tree back to the mid 1700s.
On my mum’s side it is mainly Welsh, Irish, and English from Lancashire. On my dad’s side mainly Lancashire, Scottish highlands, and some Scandinavian based on DNA results - but we haven’t linked it to a specific person yet.
1. I have no Polish friends to post, no
2. Work for a charity in their operations team
1. I work for a charity, so you can just donate it directly 😙
2. Non dickheadishness
Got asked what my voice is like…
So for those who are curious, have a video of me doing an “inflight announcement” as part of BA’s future pilot programme testing - yes, they did make candidates read off a script (and fill in random bits of memorised information left blank)
1. I own neither a jock or twink
2. Well spoken Northern, very quiet, conditioned Southern by my time at uni. Go more Northern and develop a bit of a scouse twang when back home near Preston.
Favourite:
Probably the Comet. Way ahead of its time and it’s just beautiful.
Least favourite:
Probably the VC-10. Just doesn’t do it for me, the Ilyushin Il-62 was a better design.
I’m not a carpet salesman x
1. Obviously, yes
2. Yes, but not really anymore
3. If you pay off my credit card, sure!
Does this need asking?
Whilst I may have had a Greek in my before, there is definitely no Greek in me right now
Probably a photo of me in a hotel facing the London Eye in my boxers. Maybe I’ll post it one day
Sounds too much like a piece of furniture
