November 15, 20232 yr The Guardian (of all places) did an article on how we made Rita Sue and Bob Too. Remember one of the comments saying how the film absolutely nailed the staccato walk that comprehensive girls did in the 80s. And they were right.

Good to know the people you put your life in the hands of is fully across everything 😂 I like the ones where people end up arguing, it's a bit of a worry! This is a good story too featuring the Blackbird one of the fastest planes ever built, might be a TL:DR but it makes me laugh: I’ll always remember a certain radio exchange that occurred one day as Walt (my back-seater) and I were screaming across Southern California 13 miles high. We were monitoring various radio transmissions from other aircraft as we entered Los Angeles airspace. Though they didn’t really control us, they did monitor our movement across their scope. I heard a Cessna ask for a readout of its ground speed. “90 knots” Center replied. Moments later,a Twin Beech required the same. “120 knots,” Center answered. We weren’t the only ones proud of our ground speed that day…as almost instantly an F-18 smugly transmitted, “Ah, Center, Dusty 52 requests ground speed readout.” There was a slight pause, then the response, “525 knots on the ground, Dusty.” Another silent pause. As I was thinking to myself how ripe a situation this was, I heard a familiar click of a radio transmission coming from my back-seater. It was at that precise moment I realized Walt and I had become a real crew, for we were both thinking in unison. “Center, Aspen 20, you got a ground speed readout for us?” There was a longer than normal pause … “Aspen, I show 1,742 knots.” No further inquiries were heard on that frequency.

December 1, 20232 yr Partridge.... 80% Richard Madeley 20% Jeremy Vine It's probably 99% modelled on Madeley but Vine is vying for some relevance On 29/11/2023 at 21:11, Marc505 said: Stunning.
