Because why not both?

I'm telling Fake Strider you stole his line.

Pfft. What's he gonna do...sue me? Have me arrested?

Don't expect him to respond to your obvious setup.

I know better than that. He never appears when I summon him.

After all, he is not a tame lion.

(I know. I know. Wrong franchise.)

Epic, awesome thunderstorms here in the Southern monsoon. Heading North to the clear weather and the beaches in a day or so.

How did this thread never take off? Is it because we make fun of Dalty in all the other threads anyway?

We are just too busy taking the piss out of you, Danish Boy!!!

You will be able to resurrect the other thread to your hearts content - I am going away for the weekend at 5am tomorrow morning.

Is this one of those ten day long weekends you're known to take?

Nope - two nights camping. With my bro. Fairford in Gloucestershire for the Royal International Air Tattoo. Basically two nights with ridiculous amounts of beer........ and fighter jets!!!

What could go wrong??

I am seven beers in (in the sun!) and need a nap!!

I'm in Alabama. I'm assured I'm also on vacation, but it doesn't quite feel like it.

I have been allowed to sleep late and keep to myself a bit, so it hasn't all been bad.

Twat with a generator making noise. Maybe I should burn his RV down.

Do women find "twat" as offensive as they find "cunt"? Do British women find it offensive that British men tend to use slang terms for female anatomy to describe men they find to be assholes? British men also use terms like "knob" and "bellend" as words of scorn, of course. What's the severity level with these terms? Are they easy to rank? Is "twat" considered worse/meaner than "knob," for example?

Also, do the Brits, like the Americans, spell it "knob," or do the Brits spell it "nob"?

Twat is harmless. It's just stronger than idiot.

Knob with a k, all day long!

Returned from a day at RIAT. The F-22 was impressive, as was the V-22 Osprey.

That F-35B is a serious piece of kit though. Considering the Harrier its replacing could only hover for about 60 secs before it ran out of water to cool the engines, this thing was hovering for 5 mins during the display. Plus:

Stealth
Super cruise to Mach 1+ without burner
Supersonic
And totally digitally integrated with the most advanced intelligence sharing capability and avionics suite in the air

I don't get all the haters. It's not GE creating a new dishwasher and sending it to market. It's one of the most complex machines ever built.

All kit like this goes over budget and planes evolve and develop throughout their lifetimes as they are honed and new capability added.

It did a good job of showing off and shutting some people up today.

*stares blankly at that post*

He's trying to tell us something, isn't he?

Plane geek.

It's awesome, but do we really need it?

WHAT KIND OF QUESTION IS THAT?!

The kind I find myself asking a lot nowadays!
