Cleanliness is next to holiness

Post by Hot_Air »

I need your help with a momentous choice. And when it’s this serious, I know I can rely on you for advice.

I was about to pull the Mastercard trigger on a bottle of Ducati Trace Me (a shower gel named after NHS Test & Trace, who knew?) when a little black bottle caught my eye: BMW Body & Bike shower gel. Which should I choose?

The BMW shower gel also doubles as a bike wash (tempting: who doesn’t want to smell like their iron horse?).

Ride a two stroke, you won't need a shower gel to smell like your bike

Flt Lt is an RAF rank
His papers show him as flight lieutenant walker.

Gonna argue with that?

If you wanna argue and get shitty, there's loads of other websites. We left TRC behind.

I'm not arguing, and I'm not getting shitty. I'm just stating a simple fact.

Flight Lieutenant is an RAF rank not an RN rank. I spent 22 years in the Fleet Air Arm of the RN, I am not wrong.

Google "Navy, Army and RAF equivalent ranks". This was the first hit:

I've been in a few Westland Lynxes, and I've never been in the armed forces.
I've also seen a couple of Lynxes in zoos.
