I would like to thank all for the link to the Blue Angles Vid, Orgasmic
Having, in a previous life spent many a hour or three at Ohakea in N.Z. watching the A4s and especially Kiwi Red (I will always remember the solo display pilot (Bates?) finishing off his segment by climging vertical and spinning 13/14 times.
:ok:
Cheers and thanx Love your work

Its a sine of the times that people cannot spell properly.
Just Cos he did not work hard at school is the Cos of an acute problem here. I might be going off on a tangent too, so I apologise.

Take no notice Ekoja, these smart-ass comments are just reflex actions. I'm sure their egos are all obese.

They are just boasting about their intelligence... did you get a degree or two from college?

I don't want start any circular arguments here....

I must rethink what I am doing with my life.

Training Risky,

stop being obtuse, even if you are right.

Now, how can I get the word 'iscocoles' into a post without it being too contrived....

PlasticCabDriver,

well maybe you could try by spelling it correctly!!

100 times: 'isosceles'

Iscocles are cold shellfish surely. Isogonals are cold wet bums and an isosceles a love triangle of nude swingers.

Never mind the trigonometrical puns, what does climging mean? Is it a new aerobatic manoeuvre, I think we should be told.

p.s. If thanx means thanks is wanx permissible on prooooone?

p.p.s. Isn't an isosceles a line joining Greek mathematicians of equal height?

That'll be the creeping effect of Microsoft on the language again - when I were a lad it was "isoceles" (from the Gk "isokeles"), but if you try that in your spoll-chucker it won't know what you're talking about.

Anyone want to hear my mathematical joke? I managed to drag it out to 20+minutes once as we orbited Brum city centre. The observers' claim for counselling is being considered as we speak...

Err, no.
A scalene triangle has unequal sides.
An isosceles triangle has 2 equal sides (and angles).
An equilateral triangle has 3 equal sides (and angles).
A tin triangle has a wingspan of 111 ft and 4 Olympus engines!

But wasn't geometry still termed 'Euclid' in your days though, Arters?

Blue Angles ... they're the more explicit angles, the ones you have to ask for specially, they're not out on display like the family angles. Sometimes the owner won't even admit to having blue angles.

I could say are Eucliding Beags but I had problems with the mathematics on the Pyramids job as Pharaohs I recall.
