Caption Competition Mk IV
This is what happens if you order a flight sim from Ebay when drunk....

Having flown down the length up the U.K. the Mighty Nimrod was de-winged before setting off back up the country to be re winged and scrapped.
After inadvertently flying through the interdimensional portal that opened before them, the crew and passengers of BA123 suddenly found themselves in the Land That Time Forgot.
The driver hauling the first Nimrod fuselage to Woodford was overcome by the irresistable urge to stop and buy some pies to consume en route.
It’s harder for a Comet to enter Threadneedle Street than for Farage to keep his account at Coutts.

Complaining to The Sun about traffic congestion, Ms. D. Havilland (38-24-36) asked why they couldn't' just fly it to Heathrow.
The two Nimrod prototypes were found to suffer from 'directional instability'
Even before GPS HGVs relied on maps that took them down unsuitable roads.

Having grown up in Cheshire, I can't understand this picture. The fuselage is by the Chester Cross, where the old A55 started (it's now pedestrianised) but it is turning south along the road (Bridge Street) that would lead to not from DH's factory at Broughton.

Right! That's the banger, where's my mash?
The Kardashians' venture into cyberdildonics was an abject failure; It vibrated with reckless abandon, but was unable to negotiate a corner.

It was unlucky to pass under a ladder, something that would later prove to be correct.
