We've shared this before here on more than one occasion, but I think it's high time this classic history lesson be studied once again.

Three RFC Brass Hats were strolling down a street in London. Two walked into a bar, the third one ducked.

I wouldn’t have made it through History 307 without my well thumbed black and yellow copy of Blackadders Notes


We will remember them.

I don't care how many times they go "up-diddly-up-up", they're still gits!


"A great deal of an aeroplane could be holed without affecting its ability to fly. Wings and fuselage could be—and often were—pierced in 50 places, missing the occupants by inches (blissfully unaware of how close it had come until they returned to base). Then the sailmaker would carefully cover each hole with a square inch of Irish linen frayed at the edges and with a brushful of dope make our aircraft 'serviceable' again within an hour."

"Ooooo, hello Mrs. Git."

"Oooo, hello Mrs. NonGit."

"Been shopping?"

"No, been shopping."

"What do you have there then?"

"A Clerget engine."

"A Clerget engine?! How do you cook it?"

"You don't cook it!"

"Well what did you buy it for then?"

"It was a bargain!"

"Ooooo."

"Ooooooo."

Are you sure you were googling and not oogling? If it was the latter, that would explain why people said you looked funny. Well, one explanation anyway.

You mean ... about the War, or in general?

Weird, I was just re-watching this series over the weekend, in the midst of a Hugh Laurie marathon, as it were.
