    OK, bit out of my patch.

    I'd recommend www.flyer.co.uk. Go to the "Students" forum and ask
    questions. Those in the know will put you on the right path.

    I have already made the greatest contribution to the fight against climate
    change that I can make: I have decided not to breed. Now quit bugging me and
    go and talk to the Catholics.

    It did look like fun.

    I'd have loved to have seen the look on the U2 pilot's face when it
    got "intercepted" at FL660 by a *descending* Lightning F3 during a
    NATO exercise in the early 80's

  11. Wig? or real hair?

    Think carefully, your future as a mad journalist/inventor depends on the
    answer!


    FFS update your flying blog. Since ronketti stopped his 623csi blog my
    life has been a cultural wasteland.

    Partially sated by two Vulcans running in one place. It was all I could
    do to stop a damp patch in my pants.

    I did hear a report of an SR71 approaching LA:

    "LAX Approach, AIR123 requesting FL 700" (70,000 feet)
    "If you can get it sir, you can have it!"
    "Roger, AIR123 *descending* to FL 700..."

  16. I was hearing today, about some poor HR ****, who organized a massive
    layoff over the course of months and months, and after walking the
    last of the poor, unemployed fuckers out of the door was given a
    letter.


    But, I don't like the **** in question, so I laughed like a retard.

    The first several restructuring exercises I went through with my current
    employer all included, at some stage, the departure of the head of HR.

  20. Fairly standard practice. You get HR to do all the dirty work, then
    "cleanse" the place by getting shot of them.
