Smoggy Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 How does all this equate to the flappies? No one ever seems know which way they are going anyway including the crew. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is why, when they stick one finger up in the air as you go past, they are actually just trying to find out where the wind is coming from. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grendel Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 is that upwind or downwind, or up the creek without a paddle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They also , talk about "going down" when leaving (or being sent down if expelled) But then they probably won't be taking the train there and back, will they ... Most probably the ‘going up to’ in those cases preceded the invention of the railways. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they are trying to gauge if their bow thruster is working or not.😳 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
