Or the R101 - both of which used Hydrogen, not hot air as their source of lift.

FFS! I despair, I really do!

Hindenberg is close. Come on it's not difficult. What do I spend most of my time doing?

Being a blimp?

While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

Flying round with a giant swastika on your horizontal stabiliser? :nazi:

The Millenium Dome ?

Socialism is inseparably interwoven with totalitarianism and the abject worship of the state.

No Socialist Government conducting the entire life and industry of the country could afford to allow free, sharp, or violently-worded expressions of public discontent.

My internal poison chalice project I've been working on for a year goes live on Saturday night & I & my team are flying to different locations around the globe on Sunday/Monday to be sitting in each global hub(timezone) to give assistance / additional training / trouble shooting & then tied to a 48 hour warroom with the development / support teams in case of issues.

Somebody just ordered me a cake.

Anyone want to guess what it's shaped like?

In Amsterdam we celebrated with weed cake, that way nobody noticed any glitches.
