I once went to an interview at the 'Ministry of Defense'.
I was asked 'would I be prepared to run a set of red traffic lights, at full speed, with no flashing lights or sirens?'. I weighed up the odds and said no.
Wrong answer!
'But what if the passenger was important?' I said 'how important? the odds of not hitting another vehicle or being hit are 3 out of 4 against, so if the passenger was important, you're running an even higher risk.... 'let me stop you there...'
Wrong answer. The guy didn't like my analysis.
After another load of crap where I gave intelligent answers, the guy eventually said that what he wanted was someone who wanted to be a soldier, was a soldier, and a good one.
I said then what he was after was someone who couldn't think for himself but only follow orders without question.
Wrong answer.
I still think I was right about those traffic lights.
Very true. And today it was announced that the only flying Vulcan would cease flying at the end of this year. Our skies will be quieter but definitely more boring.

Nooooooooooooooooooo!!! Just checked the website and it's true ... the Vulcan howl is no more

I know, terrible news! There will be plenty of chances though this year, Bournemouth could be good. It was one of the most thrilling ways of polluting the atmosphere!
That my prize winning (what? Of course they are) geraniums that I have been cultivating all winter and just potted outside this afternoon are now being SPLASHED by the couple upstairs who are cleaning their balcony and the dirty water is spraying down.
That footballers think (and presumably their wives / girlfriends / boyfriends etc. also think) that those haircuts like a half mown hayfield look good.
nessie..........i am with you on the planes thing...my youngest has tried to explain i a few times to me.....but i sill thin it must be some kind of black magic
