  1. The travelator is carrying you forward against air resistance but as long as your feet are on the moving belt your speed will be the same. If you were to jump vertically then for the short time that you are off the floor you will slow down very slightly due to air resistance and land very slightly behind your original position. Such behaviour is probably against saftey rules. Now try this one: A lorry is carrying a load of chickens (or budgies or any bird with wings) in wire cages and approaching a weak bridge. If the birds are alarmed an flapping their wings will it reduce the load on the lorry's axles?
  2. In a closed train you'd land in the same place. You and the train and the air inside it are all going at the same speed so there's no relative difference. If you were on a flatbed open-topped rail wagon with the relative wind in your face then you'd end up further back and might even fall on the track behind.
  3. How do you make it, just add water?
  4. That would be a huge disappointment. Everybody knows that Europeans can't make proper tea.
  5. Ryvitas
  6. I'd rather we got in before getting rid, personally.
  7. I'll be spending the Wednesday night in Copenhagen and taking the 10:00 train on Thursday morning, along with many others I expect.
  8. Dignitas
  9. Yes but you're not having mine. I'll ask around. How many of you, or will you be dining alone?
  10. 21 hours each way. :respect:
  11. Ce Soir? What position does he play?
  12. I'd swap him for Morgan. Apologies if already suggested.
  13. Stick, or bust. First classical music you heard live.
  14. I used to hate now Man Utd without really knowing why. Now I know.
  15. I don't think he is, and I don't think he is either. Mané just isn't their sort of player.
  16. They were supposed to be handed out at the turnstiles. They didn't give me any so I had to go back and collect my two from domeone who was standing just after the turnstiles in the concourse. They may have run out just before we came in.
  17. No beers inside the ground.
  18. Teenagers get embarrassed about their parents. Sad old girls don't get embarrassed about anything.
  19. I'm completely with you Stan. If you're beaten for pace then all you can do is stand back a few yards.
  20. There are only 36,000 seats for the final.
  21. Or sell him for medical research.
  22. I would think the away leg would be a strong possibility too: http://www.live-footballontv.com/live-uefa-europa-league-football-on-tv.html
  23. You need to understnd that if somebody doesn't want to go then that is there choice, there is no need to give a reason or invent an excuse.
  24. Even if they're in Spain or somewhere?
  25. To be honest I don't think that anybody was solid on Saturday, apart from Stekelenburg.
