As Spike Milligan mused: "cut that tree down, it's a hazard to lightning!". Sadly we see far too much of this. Also, in bigger cities the square footage of concrete and stone absorbs heat, creating worse situations for humans. The more trees interspersed throughout a city, can only be beneficial.

Fun fact: the cockpit canopy has its hinge at the front on all varients, because of the presence of the lift fan on the B model.

does that include "bitcoin"

much like Vyvian does

Thank goodness that the CVR was working!

additional to rubber chickens (hmm, speaking of which... where I work, I haven't seen the companies' rubber chicken in quite some time. I must make enquiries. I wonder if it is around the beer fridge - that area get a bit of traffic)

Teenagers know that "real food" is crumbed, fried and served through a window...

Please send some our way! 3 weeks of incessant grotty weather & I'm currently sitting under torrential rain with other areas of NZ being evacuated with severe flooding. ... but I guess it could be worse = "mustn't grumble".

Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is knowing to not put it into a fruit salad. All that I would ask is that vegetabalists' not call a "concoction" something that it isn't. A bacon rasher is not made from other items. Come up with your own name for something and not steal an existing word. Having been presented at a work function, with vegetabalist sausages, I would have preferred to eat a bag of sawdust instead. Just revolting. Please call it someting entirely different and relevant to what it might be - not what it resembles.

loading, rapid fire blunderbuss

in galaxies far away

but exceptionally bad starboard

afterwards... major toilet visitations

industrial grade plastic sheeting

on way to market (this little piggy...)

are pop-ups allowed then?

instead of crispy bacon????

exiting Dodge City, pronto!

Quite frankly, with the levels of "countermeasures" the ruzzians have been using, I'm surprised to NOT seeing CD's hanging over the rear-view mirror on a string. AKA "90's anti police radar technology".

on a public road (also attempting to avoid the obvious trap...)

Yup. "Dumb" ways of doing things are back in fashion. Map & compass skills are being used on that battlefield due to reliability of gps.

Please, call me "Bob".

The traditional AWACS with a large rotating disc, is seemingly outdated, however saying they are vulnerable really depends on how it is used. Sitting on the ground is very dangerous, as it seems, for any country nowadays. As for replacing with space-based assets... it really sounds like when the airborne photo-recon aircraft were declared unneccesary because space-based would do the job ... SR71 goes away and the need for airborne assets is re-discovered (oops) so keep those U-2's flying! Smaller systems on biz-jets appear to be doing sterling work, especially flying along border regions of Ukraine and the Gulfstream-based systems have worked well.

nose pencils? Saying "Wibble"?

But is that sort of like in "dog years" ?
