herc in mid-air collision

[Craig.]

the good news is no one was injured.
A jet playing silly games decided to fly over the top of a hercules from Lyneham it shaved off the top of the props on i believe one of its engines. This happend in afghanistan i will get more info as it becomes avaliable, but this was just reported on local news. It was also the captains last flight for the air-force(what a way to go out)

Nope this afternoon I was at the ice-cream shop with my class during 8th lesson, before that I'd been battling in the classroom all day long

Teachers taking students for ice cream during class....and we wonder why Hungarians do such crazy stuff with their airplanes and fall on ice axes.

[ozzy72]

There must be something in the ice-cream, Hungary has produced more Nobel prize winners per head than any other country.
For example  most of the guys who invented the atom bomb were Hungarians....
Personally I just like the ice-cream
Oh and I won't see this class again until next year as they are away on field trips for the next two weeks, and they are one of my favourite groups

Lucky students...


What kind of field trips can you go on in Southern Hungary?

[Scottler]

I believe they go mountain climbing and to ice cream shops.  lol

(PS...why couldn't I have a teacher like that?)

[ozzy72]

Actually next week they are going to visit an important historical site in Transylvania which used to be part of Hungary, and the week after that they are in Budapest for an EU student conference
And most teachers here on the last lesson take their students out for an ice-cream, its a strange but rather agreeable tradition. However final year students normal get the chance to buy me a few beers

[flyboy 28]

And I thought my school sucks up to our teachers...
