En Passant

tartan typewriter. I'll search for my coat.

How on earth do you know that?... ...On second thoughts, I really don't want to know.

Should've played the deer...

It doesn't specify. I however suspect it's a scaramanga'esque 3rd (or subsequent) nipple growth thus verifying the much circulated rumour that Clarkson is in fact just a huge tit.

From the initial post of rules.... Sorry, I thought i was clear with the bolded bits. My concern is that I haven't submitted an April team because I didn't think I had to. Thus the part about 'waiting until all the teams are in' confuses me and if I were the type to worry about late submission penalties also worries me... I'm sure it's me missing something though.

Confused.

Where on earth did you get this idea that they were representatives of anyone but their own self-interest? There are a few, but hard to spot.

Red wine makes me puke, it's dire. Guinness however is lovely, that's food for thought.

What were the chances of Aldrin being the one you could spot a mile off due to his lunatic attire? That said, Charlie Duke appears to have mistaken his valet parking jacket for his normal DJ.

I'd swap them for any that I've known and I don't even know yours. Thatch, Major, Blair, Brown, Cameron, May. I don't even know where to start.

She is. Lass has 2 s. Oh stfu En Passant you berk.

That's "You're" a waste of space (apostrophe, because it's "you are"). And love you though I do, you're (notice the apostrophe? yes, "you are" again) looking for your (no apostrophe, it's not "you are") weekly ban yourself by attacking folks with ban powers apparently. Ban me, I was bored and went all grammar Nazi.

False or even genuine. This is a fair point. For a large proportion of the planet anyone even associated with this site is waaaay over the line in the first place. One of our very own 'ripostes to the ranters' is that death is part of life and that pooling it isn't wishing for it.

Without being wilfully unkind they probably have more chance than the football team.

Not really surprising. The two airlines & countries whose aircraft crash are first to withdraw them. Everyone else looks at the data, 2 new aircraft, both under 6 months old, similar circumstances, other pilots saying they've had similar unexplained nose down attitudes after engaging autopilot (and that's just the stuff us outsiders know aboutI) and quickly follow suit denying access and overfly routes to the type one by one. Airlines who stand to lose money because no airline has spare planes just sitting on the ground also ground them. Boeing says there's nothing wrong with it, so do Southwest and American Airlines, So does the FAA. It's an American plane, American dollars, and those airlines have a lot of them. Eventually even they realise it's politically and commercially dangerous to be an outlier, catastrophically so should another one go down, and reluctantly eventually follow suit. Of course it may be nothing to do with the plane, but call me a cynic, it's not going to be quite the same order of play were it an Airbus.
