While the Americans were still scratching their heads on how to stop their flying donkey 707 from falling apart over the atlantic UK & France were writing history with a sleek plane that can do 3 trips from LHR-JFK in the time it takes for their inefficient slow mules to finally make 1 journey! We made that plane. U.S planes don't make it past the think tank. Ours did Its obvious we are 6-steps ahead of the U.S. They still can't make an MD or a Boeing that doesn't fall apart. X'-D

I still find it hard not to shed a tear for the end of the supersonic travel era. Funny how we'll look back on this. When Concorde entered revenue service most of us didn't have computers, only some of us had touch tone phones, and cars still had carburetors. But we had faster than sound jet travel. So weird how history has worked here.

@1ns4ne1d10t well in man , did you know that the americans stole brtish idea of how to get to mach 1 , it wasnt the speed we had already achived that .. spitfire could oush on mach1 but to get it up to that speed it had to nose dive air rushing over the elavator made it impossible for the pilot to pull out thus hes ended up a smoking hole in the ground , but yeah americans stole our idea of a fully moving elavator and apllied it to the X-1 ... silly yanks allways taking credit =P

@ImmortalSynn That was an incredibly short conversation. I'm sorry you feel you must leave on such short notice it seems such a waste of a conversation, especially with a person who carries around a humourous self-confessed superiority. Still, I would like to continue our 'chat' only some of us have better things to do in our lives then talk to people from Youtube. Yes sarcasm IS the lowest form of whit and I will agree with that. But the lowest form of whit is still a form of whit. Ciao!

@1ns4ne1d10t

I'm familiar with it, just as I'm aware that sarcasm is considered the lowest form of wit. As such, I'm done conversing with the likes of you-- I can't in good conscious continue to engage a battle of wit with someone who's so woefully unarmed.

[1ns4ne1d10t]

@ImmortalSynn You aren't familiar with general sarcasm so are you German or do you come from Venus?

Well to be honest... only an idiot would move to America. America is there to be laughed at not to be taken seriously. Much like the person I am talking to.

@1ns4ne1d10t

The scope of your stupidity is *truly* astonishing.

Your (ridiculously simple-minded example) is based on you knowing that it was an ITALIAN (or Georgian) you were asking in the first place, dimwit.

A more accurate example would be you chatting over the net, with someone you've never seen/heard but who has "Rome" as their location, and assuming them to be Italian. And then wondering why you strike out, if that person turns out not to BE Italian, but simply living/working there.
