We were on Winter Hill yesteday and I thought I saw a Spitfire fly over us

 

Could be wrong, being in no way interested in engineering or war-type things

A few old military planes flew over yesterday, I was up there all day though that was cattle related.

 

Couldn't tell you all their names mind you.

Daisy and Mirabelle.

Wrong cattle. I'm an ovine specialist.

Luckily through work I get to go to Farnborough and Paris Airshows.

 

Saw the Spitfire and Vulcan bomber at F'boro last year.....Awesome.

 

However for noise......The Saab Grippen was shit hot, mind you I would'nt like the Eurofighter coming at me at speed!!!!

Had a site up at Warton years back when they were developing the Eurofeyter. What it can do defies any reasonable scientific law.

Aren't they designed NOT to be aerodynamic to make them better at zapping baddies?

 

I'd quite like one.

If you are an ovine specialist why did you use the term cattle as your excuse for being on Winter Hill?

I didn't think sheep came under the 'cattle' umberella . . . neither do any of the on-line dictionaries I use.

 

 

And in any case, are sheep not allowed to be called Daisy or Mirabelle?

I wormed over 850 of them yesterday. You try thinking of 850 different names in 8 hours.

 

I will admit to thinking they were classed as cattle but when you're knee deep in their shit and piss it just doesn't seem relevant.

I think the umbrella term is 'livestock'.

You should have a word with bigE. I gave him 2 pair of wellies for a concert. Maybe he's finished with them now and could let you have them.

What does worming involve?

Shoving a syring full of pink stuff called rycoben down their necks.

 

Not easy to do either.

The fucking MoD overspend on the cunt defies fucking reasonable scientific law, I can tell you that.

 

I have rarely been more entertained than when on a Chinook helicopter, especially in Afghanistan when the pilots are giving it big licks. Fucking brilliant. Magnificent machines. From the private collection...

Look at the quality of those sandcastles in picture 2.

Them Chinooks have been over here a few times, I'm not sure where they're off to or from. They're quite loud aren't they?

Erm yes

Do they have telly's in the rear of headrests?

Aye, they are! Work in Lostock and 2 fly past at least once a week, even if you can't see them you hear them.

Always wondered where they have come from and where they are heading. They fly over from Wiggin way and head for the hills.

 

You can hear the fookers 10 minutes before they appear, love watching them fly overhead :good:

Some of them have monitors in the back for when they're out and about doing special things with special people, in fact :aggressive:

 

This is a rubbish picture of the inside of one

Cor. The inflight video games have very realistic guns.

How the fuck do they get the duty free trolley down the middle of their what with folk sat on the floor?

With a hairy minge? Or trimmed like Mr T's head?
