I turned down a ticket to Bayern last night - was in work til 9pm. Went to the pub for second half. The first pint (and first pint since Saturday) was undoubtedly as good as drinking from the Holy Grail itself. That's what you have to look forward to. And yes - extremely **** - I believe chip-pisser-in-chief Pokster plays golf

Skipper? Is that not a boat term.

Anyhow Michael O'Leary has more or less lifted the lid on the whole charade and told us that these planes fly themselves.

I don't have a Chipmunk, h, although it is a charming aeroplane and I have had great fun flying it.

Did you know that 'Brakes Off' is an item in a HASELL check because of a peculiarity of the Chipmunk?

Of course I knew you cheeky irish cnut

Much flying terminology is derived from the navy; we have a captain and a first officer, who are both pilots. The aircraft has a rudder, which yaws it to port or starboard. We flightplan in nautical miles and measure speed in knots.

Every day's a schoolday for such an open-minded, inquisitve fellow as yourself, sw. wd.

Most terminology is about ensuring clarity of meaning in a noisy environment; saying 'affirm' for yes and 'negative' for no, for example, but some is just tradition, I suppose.
