Awesome stuff you see on the internet

I’ve only got one speeding ticket on my record, and that was when my 70+ year old father in law over from the UK borrowed the car and got hit. I coudn’t be bothered sorting it so he paid the fine
I have been onvolved in accidental sonic booms, over speeds and over Gs tho - and you always get caught for those!

@r-l if it's any consolation I've heard that it's actually quite interesting...
Having been on one, I would say the opposite. 4 hours of my life I won’t get back. I did take particular notice though to the statement that you do not pass or fail the course, it is enough that you attend. Consequently when we were all asked to state our major take-away from the course, I stated that next time I’ll just take the points.
Tumbleweed moment with just the odd suppressed snigger.

@machpants see that sounds very cool... Going 35 in a 30 zone is embarrassing.
So tell me more about your sonic booms...
Uniform? -

The most disgusting things I have ever seen swallowed were by pilots
We used to call them "crew meals" (no not the crew, the stuff they called food, although they could be interchangeable depending how much they pissed me off).

Quick run!

And there I was getting all jealous. All is forgiven now about your interlude with the shirtless gay volleyballers.
I quite like the idea of these speed awareness courses that you all seem to have done. I assume they show you how to go faster and not get caught?
Planes are definitely the answer there. Boats are O.K but I did get stopped by a harbour master a year or so back. I didn't agree with him that I was still in the 5kt zone and asked if he was bored with Roger the cabin boy and had nothing else to do. I probably went too far with a comment about Seaman Stains (seagull shit) on his boat after the Roger comment.
TBF he wasn't a Dale (that could become a thing), had a sense of humour, and knew his Captain Pugwash references.

I'm a speed awareness virgin, it will be my first time. And no they want you to go slower, not faster..

A time and place for the correct speed for sure.

@snowy oh how the chaps and i at the Country Club laughed at that over a brandy
You didn't like the names in Pugwash? Apparently it was all bullshit anyway and the show was before my time.
It was the pub, and a beer, and a chuckle at the look on his face, but you go girl.

@snowy there is 100% going to be a Netflix documentary on you in a few years time...
I'll be sure to wear my uniform for you.
More this:
I like the anonymity of that.
Than this, hopefully:
There's one for you too:

That's just a cheap black suit with fake gold plastic bling, the stripes don't even go all the way around the sleeve!
Not that the RAF officer's No 1 uniform is anything but crappy
That's why you wore flying ovies as much as possible
