Idle Banter For non SV and non bike related chat (and the odd bit of humour - but if any post isn't suitable it'll get deleted real quick).
There's also a "U" rating so please respect this. Newbies can also say "hello" here too.

A U2 would be cool. But given a choice of any plane, I'd go for a ride in a SR-71.

Dont think he is particulary clever he is just interested in interesting things and presents them in a restrained but engaging way.

The programme was about the U2 - this is your opportunity to appreciate that, or not. Not sure where the Blackbird figures in that. On topic my dear chap, on topic!
