    @machpants East Riding is a client of mine. Let me tell you, the last thing you wanna do is spend a week in Beverley.

    Harsh, she's a lovely girl

    Better than spending a week in Lincoln I guess.

    I lived in Lincolnshire for a few years, fuck me what a flat dull place. One hill in Lincoln, which was a good night out, had one of the best Italian restaurants I’ve ever been to next to the Castle carpark too. But the whole place, flat and dull - like Canterbury

    Just spent a week in the north of East Riding & Filey. Blew me away. Chocolate box villages, ruggedness like Dartmoor and beaches to rival anything, anywhere.

    Amazing part of the world

    Paradise compared to Blackpool. Fuck me if that isn't the worst place I've spent time in. Tacky and grubby just doesn't begin to describe that shit-hole

    Very true, whilst living in Linc we went ‘to the beach’ out east. What a shit-hole, having previously lived in Cornwall!

    I don’t know how to embed a vimeo vid, but here’s the link you can watch it and it is both awesome and tremendous cultural historical significance, unearthed and posted yesterday:

    An 8mm film of Pink Floyd founding member Syd Barrett's first mushroom trip

    Also 2 videos of our big fat fucker transport C-17s in Brisbane in 2018

    First one is shot from a very high tower (some language)

    Second one from mostly ground level - ignore the Reds-branded river ferry and random shit - the action starts around 53 seconds:

    I live near the RAAF base in Sydney, and those C-17 are super-quiet on the approach which I guess is the whole idea if you're avoiding the enemy.

    You can hear the C-130 Hercs coming, but these guys are almost right overhead before they're overheard.

    Hercs also put out a shit ton of black smoke, they’re an easy spot

    @nta You could fit the whole NZ Air Force in it’s hold. And room for the Army in the corner.

    Five times the carrying capacity of the Herc as well. Significant.

    When my brother did work experience at RAAF Richmond in the early 90s, the Yanks had a C-5 Galaxy in town. That thing was fucking enormous.
