Clean as you go
yes but that really is going to extremes, it's like Reverse Howard Hughs Syndrome.
yeah those XU1s were pretty and fast but drove and ran like crap.
i wore a grey and baby pink shirt in the early 80s. i'm afraid it was not remotely manly.a name is sacred and can evoke things
true. and from hence Old Nick and Jeepers Creepers.
Bruce Chatwin's Songlines made for a nice study of the point. -
my understanding is that the big practical problem with larger pulse units is the enormous amount of heat they generate, which in turn produces significant problems when it come to connecting it to the vehicle.
you can run them as an outboard pod, as with the V1, but that's no good for supersonic flight, were for aerodynamic purposes the engine has to be either inside the fuselage or nestled under the wings.
maybe pulse denotation runs cooler (although i can't think why it would). a smaller unit incorporated in a turbofan might well improve efficiency but it still wouln't be any use for supersonic flight. -
my dad was in a german labour camp when the thousand bomber raids went over. he reckoned the buildings shook so much they were all afraid they'd collapse.
what happended in Dreseden was disgraceful. Curtis Lee May and Bomber Harris should have been tried as war criminals. -

I see some people still blanch at the blue arm
what, they had you unblocking toilets? that doesn't sound incident-free.
So the affair between Sam Loover and Lady Penelope was just a rumour
yeah, that was just a smoke screen for the Joe 90 thing, which as merc alludes to, was not without its difficulties.
Lady Penelope is beyond reproach
i agree, although while i think a six wheeled Roller (or was it a Daimler) looks good in pink i'm not so sure about that colour on an XU1.

I think Gordon may have been a bit dim, because you know, the puppet gene pool didn't stretch that far in the Thunderbirds... but GWB2 got the part
well now it's funny you say that because David Hartnell told me that Gordon was the love child of Flash Gordon and Barbara Bush. Apparently it was Barbara who pulled the strings. They also childed Lady Penelope who in turn had an illicit affair with Joe 90, from whence Paris was born (although she was abandoned as a child in some hotel apparently because she was just too plastic and they figured she'd damage the show's credibility).
Starting to add up now?BarkinBoyChops surely is a good moniker, but don't dematerialize just yet m, it'll be ok. have a cocoa and an early night.

it was like, a rock lobster - that came out of a short fat green B52

yeah me too. and if only i'd started seeing tree frogs before those PJs i might've still had a chance.

one needs to take precautions against fanatics
