It was quite nice. Like a decent quality pilsner, and fairly strong (8%).

 

I think I'll offer a somewhat belated whoosh to that. I had to work
today FFS!

 

A friend of mine went skydiving in Poland, where amongst other

helicopters.

You can do that in Nimrods, too. Top fun at around 180 knots.

I'd recommend removing any headgear first, though. And spectacles.

What bloke?

My /favourite/ vodka (as opposed to "one of") is probably Stoli
Razberri (or however it's spelt). Straight, straight from the freezer.

Having just found out the Russians were using copied Mazda rotary lumps
in small choppers, I did wonder.

I've also just found out the Russians made 3 and 4 rotor engines for
military use in trucks, etc...

Hmm... Apparently they're all Mazda lumps under license - just that the
license only allowed them to make them for the Russian market; I've yet
to find out just how good they were.

Can you imagine a Lada Samara with an RX7 engine? Happened.

Actually - if you were to assume that 'fax copy'[1] was a shorthand
version of 'a copy via fax' then it isn't necessarily incorrect.
Longwinded yes - incorrect no.

[1] As opposed to a 'posted copy' or an 'emailed copy' - ie a copy sent
via a particular method.

 

I worked with a guy once who went to Russia to do some work and came
back with 5000 of the cardboard rolled ciggarettes 'because they were
cheap' and tried to flog them to people round work. Even at 10p for 20
(this was in the days of £1.50/pack on normal ciggies) he couldn't
shift them and ended up burning them on the bonfire to get rid of them.
Even then the neighbours complained about the smell.
