Gonna watch Top Gear
Must have been the first episode without the Stig? They had a "Drive-By and Shoot the Stig" contest....
Danny Boyle was the guest celebrity.

In fact, it is a smaller replica (MTOW halved)...

Clarification: the MTOW is about the half of the 526 model, but it appears that this particular plane is a replica of the 126 model, thus the MTOW is about 60% of the original.

Two Irishmen are walking up a hill and they see a head roll by them. The first Irishman says "Wasn't that old Paddy O'Tool? The second Irishman says "I thought he was taller than that!"

I can shed some light on this one.
The Euro is a unit of mass, and weighs about 0.869 pounds (may vary), thus 0.394 kg.
