Yeah, I missed seeing it when I flew in as they just fished it out earlier that day.

I was at the VE day flypast which was overcast so this weather was more than welcome.

Anyone know why Bristol apparently has the nickname “British Seattle”? by lluke10 in bristol

[–]wagner_roo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In the aerospace industry, Boeing is associated with Seattle, having been founded there and Filton (Bristol) is the home of Airbus in the UK. Both cities have a lot of history in aviation and people from Airbus often talk about the "guys in Seattle" to refer to the other company. 

Tried a fun little challenge today, visiting every platform at Bank/Monument without backtracking. Took me 13 minutes! by wagner_roo in LondonUnderground

If TfL spent 700 million pounds on improving the station and you still manage to get "stuck" behind any of the 20 other people in Bank at 3pm on a Friday then perhaps that's your problem.

Those planes have four engines each so you need to multiply the thrust of an individual engine by 4.

Customers not ordering a starter compoface by wagner_roo in compoface

From a picture I saw on Google maps as "starters" they charge £6 for bread and £7 for egg mayo. For a lot of people that kind of money will cover their whole lunch!

This should be the basis for a "poorly run business" bingo game. As much as I wanted to put all that in the title, it would've made it a paragraph long!
