Don't watch them if you're anywhere near close to going on holiday by plane! So long as there’s no Russki pilots letting their kids fly the plane it’ll be reet. Fuck me!! In terms if sheer geekiness the helicopter one ferrying folk from the North Sea oil platforms was quite frightening and the fact that nobody will step on that brand of helicopter (forget which one). The number that went down is astonishing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any that are about the people you trust to do things right making mad errors are the worst for me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last 30 seconds when they knew they were going to crash, whilst also realising their mistake, is horrific. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not in Crawley Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 Has anyone been listening to the Reith Lecture's (that than the The Royal Institutes Lectures are proper xmas fayre - watch on BBC 4 this year as its all about Forensic Science and it'll be done - as always - in a way idiots like me can understand) Anyway - this year they are having 4 different speakers rather than just one on Roosevelt's Four Freedoms - Speech, Worship, Want and Fear.

Site Supporter Spider Posted December 21, 2022 Site Supporter Share Posted December 21, 2022 It may have been mentioned but the Alan Partridge Oasthouse podcasts are elite level. Youve to pay, but worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MancWanderer Posted January 23, 2023 Author Share Posted January 23, 2023 Downloaded three of them to give it a go. SJM, Thommo and Phil Dowd. If anyone talks about leaving a turd in a shoe, wash bag or under a bed iamout Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter RONNIE PHILLIPS Posted January 24, 2023 Site Supporter Share Posted January 24, 2023 Tbf whilst Liam the co host isn't the most clued up SJM holds it all together pretty well & they are a decent listen..... Particularly enjoyed Thommo's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MancWanderer Posted January 27, 2023 Author Share Posted January 27, 2023 SJM one is brilliant. His chat on Under the Cosh was good but this is even better. His whole attitude is summat else. Wasn’t there for the money. His stories are simply about a bloke who wanted to play footy and wanted to play for managers and coaches that he liked. And got sidetracked and bamboozled back in the old days. A really good listen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
