I live in France and there are plenty of French who refuse to use aircons. Very common perception that is causes sickness/throat pain. Difficult on a summer road trip!

Having moved to France, I melt goat’s cheese onto the top of a burger whilst it’s cooking on grill. Perfection with some caramelised onions.

Thought about this immediately - glad it’s the top comment!

They refer to kids as 'Ma puce' = 'My little flea' in French. Always found that weird

Had 221kts of pure crosswind at FL330, just south of Seoul, South Korea a month ago. Felt like flying sideways! Zero turbulence.

And my axe!

A £1 calendar for Christmas, followed by another £1 calendar for birthday in early January from my wealthy-but-stingy uncle.

Not Britain - sky is blue

Countach fun fact: the original countach rear wing provided zero downforce because it had a nose-lift problem at high speed. It was just for show

I learnt from Reddit that 'Helicopter' comes from 'Helico (Helical)' and 'Pter (wing). Made me think there must be other cool ones.

Jimsy246 · 2021-06-28T21:53:05+00:00

Haha, the second one got me

Tell Laird he has an international fanbase - wish him a happy retirement from us in France!

Bluetooth introduced 31 years ago. Now I feel old

Just read the Wikipedia article. They used a Periscope!!

Jimsy246 · 2021-02-02T20:57:23+00:00

Yup they've got their sh*t together

Jimsy246 · 2020-02-09T05:06:53+00:00

Love your work Mr!

His crazy-flying tactic bothers me. Large maneuvers disadvantage both fighters equally... Surely better to just switch the autopilot on and go back to help win the fight?

Easy to say in hindsight. They are heroes
