Helicopters scare me a bit. Especially when I read that they're not particularly well regarded by either soldiers or oil tanker workers, and that's good enough for me.

i've done 2 helicopter rides
once in Kent at a holiday park and once at the Grand Canyon. The Grand Canyon one was spectacular, but a bit scary the way the pilot was swooping up and down the canyons and shit. I was a bit sick after

Due to arcane uefa rules, if villa finish fifth and win the europa league, sixth placei n the premier league gets into the champions league, but if they win the ewuropa and finish foourth or third, 6th place doesn't. Exxcellently, this could mean either brighton (playing man united) or brentford (playing liverpool) can only get into the champions league on the final by losing their final match to ensure liverepool and man united finish above villa.
Which could be fun/funny

The PSG Bayern match was pure liquid football.
If it'd been any more liquid, it would've been plasma (possibly?)
