Fighter pilots are measured, not for height, but for the length of their thigh, lest they lose their knees during an ejection (this is true in the RAF, I presume it must also be true in other air forces)Thargoid wrote:Yeah, we just chop you off at the knees
The upside to 3 months of -30C to -40C degrees and and shovelling snow 2 or 3 times a week is having nothing else to do but script oxp's.ClymAngus wrote:Whilst most of this is conducted in English, it is important to remember that those who don't are just as smart, devious and enjoy oolite just as much.

Thanks ClymAngus.
There are lots of people waiting to be translated, carrying on conversation that we would wish to be involved in, or at least understand. All we have to do, is spare the time to talk to them. It is easy to contain oneself in an intellectual linguistic vacuum. Hell, we do it without thinking, I certainly do! But if you have a passion, in this day and age language should be no barrier to involvement.
Just a thought.
Saskatchewan Eh? I do miss a proper winter.
