Looks like an Indian or Henderson motorcycle. Base jumpers jump with the drogue chute in their hand . That telegraph pole saved his life. Hope he got paid a lot for it.
They didn’t work out from first principles the physics of their stunts in those days, when men were real men, women were real women, and stupid twats with a bike and parachute were er... Twats?!?
Piers Morgan could have done with one of those Hurt Feelings Kits when he flounced off the set the other day because someone disagreed with him....
I agree @Dave49 but I genuinely struggle. I totally loath Piers Morgan and will find EVERY possible opportunity to disagree with him. Sadly I think he should be allowed to say he doesn’t believe what someone says. Our Queen has been around donkey’s years and maybe has fallen out with er, zero people. Megan can’t keep a friendship going with an inanimate object without claiming it was racist or bullying. With poor Harry (my favourite Royal until now), he’s probably been gas lighted. He’s lost his family and friends because of ‘her’ truth. He has now lost all credibility and William/Kate are seen as better. I genuinely don’t care. But I do believe in traditions. You would have to be totally hell bent on causing trouble to marry into Royalty without having respect to the status quo. Harry could and would have met another soul mate, as would a Megan. Catherine has been an exemplar. She acknowledged she wasn’t just marrying someone but also getting a job that didn’t allow for a great deal of latitude or freedom. She stepped into the role and made it hers - within the traditions and principles of Royalty. People don’t understand ‘service’ these days. It’s all me, me, me, me... You may be an anti-royalist, that’s fine. I am talking about principles and ethics.
Funny story about Piers Morgan. I had reason to give his nephews a lift to a birthday party event. They were trying to impress and say they were related to Piers. I suggested that was something they ought not broadcast to everyone as he was a twat. Silence for the rest of the journey. Result.
An older couple, who were both widowed, had been going out with each other for a long time. Urged on by their friends, they decided it was finally time to get married. Before the wedding, they went out to dinner and had a long conversation regarding how their marriage might work. They discussed finances, living arrangements, and so on. Finally, the old gentleman decided it was time to broach the subject of their physical relationship. "How do you feel about s*x?" he asked, rather tentatively. "I would like it infrequently ", she replied. The old gentleman sat quietly for a moment, adjusted his glasses, then leaned over towards her and whispered, "Is that one word or two?"
I wasn't making a pro-Meghan point, Cy, I was just making an anti-Morgan point: he likes to dish it out but gets a fit of the vapours when someone calls him out. As everyone knows, his pride was hurt years ago when Meghan binned him off, and he has been pursuing a vendetta against her ever since. Whatever one might think about her, he is the archetypal snowflake. However, he will no doubt continue his lucrative career as a professional purveyor of outrage on one of the new TV channels devoted to that kind of thing. I like your story about his nephews, by the way.
