Rey_Piste Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 10 minutes ago, johnnyboy said: Cruise altitude of a commercial flight is going to be 30-40,000 feet. I totally cocked up my sentence structure in that post. Reading that article, he was looking to reach 5,000 feet. Nowhere near the 35,000 feet you need to be to see the curvature of the globe. This is about the average cruising height for a commercial aeroplane flight. Darwinism in action. Is how I should've written it. I'm tired from staying up so late last night and possibly still a bit drunk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members BomberPat Posted February 26, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted February 26, 2020 it's given me an excuse to listen to "Fade Into You" for the first time in years, and be reminded that it's absolutely gorgeous, at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope's voice is something else. There's an amazing version that they did live on Jools Holland's show which is up on YouTube. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I enjoyed watching many of the interviews he conducted. I wonder what God said to him when he arrived at the pearly gates? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember I couldn't believe he was in his late 80s, until I saw him walk in series 4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenryck Pilchards Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 Egghead quizzer Dave Rainford has sadly died. I have quizzed and drank with him on a few occasions and he was one of kind. The second time I met him he welcomed me like we were long lost mates and I was shocked he remembered my name. He has been in poorly health for a while but this is still a shock. I shall be having a pint tonight in honour of him. RIP Dave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never took himself too seriously on Eggheads and came across as a thoroughly nice, down to earth bloke. RIP 'Tremendous Knowledge' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members gmoney Posted March 7, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted March 7, 2020 (edited) Ah, that sucks. I always cringed at the Tremendous Knowledge nickname, because it's awful, and it only ever seemed to be Jeremy "Tremendous Cunt" Vine who used it, but Dave was one of the decent Eggheads.
