Robert N. LiM 4,426 Posted February 18, 2022 Saw in the presser that we're supposed to be flying up today. Rather them than me. Any of you guys who follow Carl Cort's flights from Vladivostok to Riverside Morrison's on deadline day have any idea whether they made it safe and sound? I have visions of us not getting there till tomorrow lunchtime and being 3-0 down after ten mins... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Canary Jedi 579 Posted February 18, 2022 I had to drive about an hour and a half this evening, winds much calmer now. I noticed my car mileage is 65351 and couldn’t help thinking that formation might get us a result on Saturday 😀 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah the board probably all chip in an' throw a couple o' grand each into an empty champagne ice bucket to cover the charter jet flight costs. The board apparently toss their loose change into the same bucket as a whip round for the crew. I understand that they also give the jockey marks out of 10 for the quality of the landings.....

Capt. Pants 4,261 Posted February 19, 2022 I can see the argument for the recovery process to start asap. Sitting on a bus for 5 hours (pretty good going actually) aint great for stretching out the legs. Many of them will be reporting to Colney tomorrow for a bit of treatment, massages etc so we don't want a lot of faffing around tonight. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Midlands Yellow 4,012 Posted February 19, 2022 Smith accepts there are many areas of her life where impressive reductions could be made to her carbon footprint, and says she's ready and keen to take up the 10:10 challenge. But what, I wonder, will she find hardest to cut back on? "I could easily do without ever going to an airport again. That would probably be the easiest thing to give up if I had to." she’s still thinking about it then. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
