    I was in the air cadets, getting hours of flight experience and never once saw a crash video, but I'll take you're word for it.
    Jump jump John.

    The toilets were across a hangar and one time there was a crashed Wessex in there.

    When it was my turn to fly, the pilot was making small talk waiting to taxi onto the runway and said:
    "Did you see the crashed helicopter in the hangar? I crashed it."

      Speaking of "publicly exhibiting awesomeness", I see Twitch as one huge online arcade. An arcade that never closes, has every game ever made, with crowds of people playing/spectating, and coins being thrown at you instead of the other way around!

      It's breathed a whole new level of life into my gaming with even my wife is allowing me to spend more time 'working' on it.

        I bought a second hand row boat last month with 2 years remaining mooring permit. It's beautiful: classically shaped, handmade from oak with a fitted fiberglass flat bottom, able to seat 3 at a squeeze and just long enough to lie down in. Best £400 I've spent. I've used it every day. Sometimes I take a picnic, maybe half a bottle of homemade wine, or a joint, a few shrooms, some books of poetry, row out into the middle of the lake and just chill. It's so peaceful, just floating there, bobbing up and down, listening to the waves lapping at the side of the boat and the scenery always stirs my emotions: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bqt9IIRJDck

        I just hope I don't have any mishaps. I'm not a confident swimmer at the best of times and drunk/high and fully clothed I don't fancy my chances of making it to either shore. But, man, it's my new favourite thing.

                That sounds awesome.

                  One came with the boat but I never take it. The lake's not that far from my home so I walk there but my rucksack can only accommodate food and drink and books or the life jacket - not both.

                  It is! I can't recommend it enough.

                    Phil Lai challenged me to the stage 5 boss on Gradius V last weekend. First time in fifteen years playing that game. I did it in two lives. There's just something about publicly exhibiting awesomeness like that. I deleted the video afterwards because I was unhappy I didn't 1-life it.

                    I'm already making enough from subs to cover a game purchase each month. WoW Classic next - it's already covered.

                    Honestly, i don't really blame you. The bubble is going to pop on this streaming thing, not too far off, might as well milk it as well.

                      Wine and boats, because nothing bad ever happens when those two things are combined

                            Plain, brown Himalayan rice, no sauce, but quickly fried in a little olive oil prior to cooking to bring out its inherent flavour, served with fresh, homegrown asparagus tips fried in olive oil and sprinkled with parmesan and a squeeze of lemon. So simple and delicious.

                              Sounds like a right farty mix.

                                It's delicious.
