Not a patch on the 'wtf' moment when he returns armed to the teeth with claymores, flash grenades and an AK-47! unsurprisingly, the possibility of some sort of spree occurred to us... he looked former military as well - tall, solid but lean, and with that uprightness you often see in former forces people. wouldn't have surprised me massively to see him pull an assault rifle out of a duffle bag. we'd have just had to hope that he'd customized it out of all practical use like his passport...

That was the adult-led activity in our childcare setting this afternoon. i love the fiction of you introducing seditious play to impressionable minds.

what he said^ driving back to edgeley park in their giant cherry-picker of doom... and sorry, but simon orange? not a name you can take seriously. it's like you're reaching for the full moniker of the former crystal palace chairman but can't quite get there...'you know...simon... orange...'

Stockport County Football Club - wtf?
I admire those that still fork out good money after bad, I really do - but I won't be giving these owners another penny. How many more managers are the club going to go through before the fans realise where the real problem lies?
Utter f***ing garbage.

My 8 year old son loves reading books - especially those that give you options to decide the story - I'm sure you remember them from your younger days. We picked up this book in a charity shop and thought he'd like it - which he does enormously. He was reading it to me the other day, when we landed on this page... "What does snafus mean, daddy", was the inevitable question. "Erm, erm, not sure, son. Another word for 'problems' I think. Maybe it's Nepali?" was my fumbled reply. Snafu in a book clearly aimed at kids - wtf!?

On the subject of Jumbo Jets. Watching a mechanic jack one up on a hand pumped trolley jack to change a burst tyre, all 78,000 Kg's of it made me say wtf! Staying aerospace related, the older Jumbo's are still powered by the Rolls-Royce RB211 which, at full chat (e.g at take off) consumes 1000lbs of fuel per engine per hour, glad I don't have to fill that up! The hottest part of modern turbine engines operate at temperatures up to 200 degrees above the material's melt point which is why cooling them makes aero engines so expensive and one final aerospace wtf moment. General Electric estimate that to develop an engine that will squeeze an extra 1/2% of thermal efficiency out of it will cost an estimated 1 billion dollars.

That's a considerable amount for a load of hot air, NYE. Unbelievable.

That's a considerable amount for a load of hot air, NYE. Unbelievable. The German company Siemens recently announced that they had developed the means of cooling Turbine Blades by manufacturing small ducts inside them to allow the flow of cooling air......except that it was a British business in Worcester who did the leg work only for Siemens to make the owner an offer he couldn't refuse so he sold up. The blasé attitude of the political classes to manufacturing in this country never ceases to amaze. World leading technology just allowed to go abroad and May and co say sod all. Banks threaten to leave and all hell breaks loose, even if they are the glorified casino's whose grotesque mismanagement we're still all paying for. What could possibly be more important than shuffling money from one place to another?
