Re: SLS Roll-out
Hmm. Put 'Boeing' and the images of the last capsule's heatshield on re-entry, and I'm not sure I would put the odds as good as that....“Boeing exceeds that number with a 1 in 295 loss of crew number,” he said.

Re: WTF is happening in the UK?
Bonking Boris apparently turned up to vote without Photo-I/D and tried to use a copy of 'Stud' magazine as I/D but no-one recognised his face.

Re: Douglas DC-4 crash near Fairbanks, Alaska
Gulp! With that cargo, in that terrain, the options for 'crashing' are very few. They sadly went the best possible way.

Of course, if he had gone in to vote without any underwear on, he would have been instantly recognisable to any female staff.

Re: Peregrine falcons at Worcester Cathedral
The word originally meant "foreign," as did its Latin predecessor peregrinus. But even before peregrine appeared on its own in English, it was part of the name of that well-known bird of prey, the peregrine falcon. The bird's appellation derives from "falco peregrinus"—literally, "pilgrim falcon" in...

Re: Chaos in Scotland.
One of the contenders in the election is Kate Forbes, who as a former SNP 'Finance Minister' should be in a good position to advise on the current (ALLEGED) financial improprieties.

Re: Airlines reliant on GPS
The problem is that because GPS is far more accurate and normally reliable it is written into airline SOPs. There are, hopefully, a few pilots left who can actually navigate and not just follow the 'magenta line', and I'm sure the route and approach to that airfield could have been achieved without ...

Re: WTF is happening in the UK?
Mark Menzies (of Brazilian Rent-boy and misuse of Tory party funds fame) has stood down as an MP. He reportedly said 'I'll be bu##ered if I'll continue as an MP". Another one bites the dust (or pillow...)
