It's hate tinged with awe in my case though; the sheer ridiculous chutzpah of the man is incredible. It's an attested fact and I still cannot quite believe that he actually did it.

Sometimes I really wish there was a negative stars button. (Just to confirm, as you appear to be someone who might need a clue or two, this is one of those times. Right now I am wishing there was a negative stars button so that I and many other people could give you negative stars for your post.) In closing,

Didn't the Americans screw with Sweden back in the cold war, by pretending to be Russian submarine incursions in order to drive them into the arms of Nato?
I'm not saying it was Americans this time... it's definitely aliens.

It's also a strange coincidence that the manager of West Ham United was Jeremy Irons.

I would also have said the bullet train in Japan, but I'm thinking they're getting their electricity from fossil fuels these days. Still, it's not directly powered by fossil fuels and it's an awesome train, and ridiculously punctual. Also you can see mount Fuji from it, and I'm pretty sure you can't do that from a…

That gif of the crash made me make an "ooowhhuuwhhh" kind of a noise. I think it's slightly slower in the video but still, ooof, brutal.

To be fair, downhill is also quite bad. Just ask my middle aged, carrying-a-bit-too-much-me-around, knees. But a bit of up and down is probably better than all flat bits, all the time.

yeah "let's sneak up on the leopard with our 'stealthy' diesel truck that also makes beepy noises. For extra stealthiness let's keep stopping the engine so we can loudly start it again."

I love that second shot, the way you can't see the suspension arm through the solid wheel so it looks as though the wheel isn't attached and the bike is somehow just floating above it.

It's a West Midlands accent. I think I read an article that said she was from Walsall, which is roughly between Birmingham and Wolverhampton. If you wanted to say it was a Brummie (Birmingham) accent you wouldn't be entirely right but you'd be pretty damn close.

Close, but also wrong. That's a Brummie (Birmingham) or West Midlands accent

That is definitely better: as Top Gear showed, sticking a propeller on the back risks snapping it off on the boat ramp. Also hydro jets are inherently cooler because jet.

I thought it was a deliberate pun? It would need to be some kind of fancy gold soup in order to go into the fuel tank.

"yeah, i'm not sure why he then kept rolling, but i wasn't there."

He just called you a nerd!

Apparently he is, apparently.

I have a friend with a tattoo on her lower back (pretty much the "tramp stamp" area. Can't remember what it's supposed to say in Chinese (mandarin?), but our Japanese colleagues assure us it reads "workers compensation" in Japanese.

In all seriousness I am actually starting to sort of kind of like Kinja. I suspect it may be Stockholm syndrome.

The Polish air force are also currently fielding some advanced F-16s, decent relatively cheap planes that do the job (rabble rabble I do not approve of the F-35 grumble mutter)

"automotibles"? Seriously? Are the cars too elephantine for the mere word "automobile"?
