@isleptwithgod Indeed ... and the reason is that Sean Lock really is OUT THERE!

Bloody brilliant .... :)

How tiny is David Miscavige? I just saw a pic in which it is clear that Tom Cruise is at least two inches shorter than Halle Berry, and she's only 5' 6", which makes Cruise about 5' 4" (same height as Robert Blake).

At 0:09, you can see Miscavige is two or three inches shorter than Cruise, whic...

@stubbostubbs I was an aviation-mad kid of 10 when the TSR2 was flying, and was scrapped. Back then, I knew every detail, every specification and I followed every test flight. I was devastated when it was scrapped for the greatly-inferior General Dynamics F-111.

But the US had been trying to p...

Hilarious episode - one of the best thus far.

Thanks very much from Hong Kong - we get none of this here, not even on cable or satellite.

@Iskanderox No - the language is English. They may speak English with a Scottish accent in Inverness, and some may go so far as to call it a dialect, but the language is still Scottish. Been going to Inverness all my life, my mother and half my family is from there, we lived there for about ten y...

Black-skinned, dark-skinned, brown-skinned or simply sky-blue-pink ..... she's a beautiful woman, full stop.

And the reason she seems to fit in so well in England is that she doesn't seem to take herself too seriously, and can laugh at herself.

Class.

Ok ... can anyone here spell 'couple's therapy'?

:)

Call me. Now. I mean it. 3<

@flowerbower I do loathe it - but it's not personal abuse when it's the truth. You have lied about who you are and how old you are.

If you seek to discredit sustained scientific theory, then you oblige readers to choose between your own crackpot meanderings and well-respected scientific figures....

By 1823, Byron was in Greece, where he became a 'hero' of the Greek War for independence, where he died of a fever on 19 April 1824.

he was, as I said, half English and half Scottish by blood (whatever that means), but he seems rather to have loved Scotland from a distance.

Gotta love - as he Britannia's Proteus turbo-props start to spin up - how the movie's sound engineers add the sound of a piston-engine spluttering to life at 1:39 ... !

My father flew the Britannia for BOAC from 1957 to 1963.

@ShynAwkward I'd say their degrees convey at least academic competence, and - where gained from respected universities - a considerable level of intelligence. Where the underlying study has been conducted specifically in meteorology & environmental disciplines, I think it's an indication that t...

@flygweilo Jamming the thrust levers forward will cause the aircraft to accelerate faster, but - again - will not cause the aircraft to rotate, unless the aircraft is improperly trimmed, or the Pilot Flying (PF) pulls back on the yoke.

It's the rotation which is bothering me - if the PF simply ...

Look at the first few frames closely - isn't Perera throwing?

It certainly looks as if his arm straightens longitudinally during the delivery arc ...

If Richie Benaud says the delivery was something special, then I imagine it was.

@dazyboy1973 I can accept that the co-pilot froze - this was never intended to be a flight and no take off was purposed, so a properly constituted flight crew was neither necessary nor boarded. The co-pilot was thus not a pilot at all, and would have been overwhelmed by the situation.

On the gr...

@momomomo974 D'accord.

@ameenuk2000 LOLz .... I guess we all do it occasionally though.

Yep - me included!

:)

The rule is actually: i before e, except after c (when the pronunciation is long 'ee'.

So, alas for Stephen, the Qi researchers have misquoted the rule here ...

:)

@AirbusA330Pilot I'd have to agree with altazboy here ... the aircraft is landing on 23R at Manchester, and there's a hump at about 1,500' down the runway. Viewed from this angle, it looks as though the tail is close to the ground, but it's something of an optical illusion.

i used to fly the &4...
