How long before someone adds a comment that just says "Fish"?
Fish
Not *the* Mr Herring btw.
Autogyros were the first successful rotary wing aircraft to fly. They marked a departure from conventional fixed wing aircraft and an attempt to fill a role that airplanes couldn't. They can fly slowly due to a phenomenon known as autorotation, where the rotor is unpowered and is made to spin by aerodynamic forces. Autorotation allowed the wings to move faster than the aircraft. Although autogyros were never widely accepted by the public, the military, nor aircraft companies, they were very important in the development of the helicopter. Many of the technologies developed for the autogyro were used in the helicopter. If Cierva had not pursued the autogyro, it definitely would have delayed the development of the helicopter, maybe even for decades. After the introduction of the first successful helicopters, autogyros were largely forgotten except as kit aircraft and ultralights. Recently, two companies, Groen Brothers and CarterCopter, have brought back the autogyro using modern technologies. Neither plans to replace the helicopter entirely, only in places where low speed flight or vertical take off and landing are all that are needed. Perhaps, if these companies have their way, the future will be more kind to the autogyro than has the past.

You, sir, are a cunt.
How many surrealists does it take to change... what do you mean you've heard it before?
Fish, obviously.

From you, that is probably a compliment. Thanks.
i think you are a cunt too.
Mine is *not* intended as a compliment...
Its is indeed.. Very fishy in here.

Steady *on* old chap, you seem quite easily riled...
No, what *is* this fish doing in my bed?
Fishy.
Cunt
:O
Carry on, carry on, I feel we may be getting somware with this...
Carol Vordeman throwing small children at a badly drawn caricature of my
Grandmother's Hobnail pants.
"One from the bottom!!"
Surrealism was the movement deriving from the 1920s Dada movement. It was based around how Freudian psychology and specifically the subconscious can affect our feelings and fears and emotions generally.
With all due respect, how exactly does that connect with Vic and Bob,Carol Vorderman throwing kiddies at someone's Grandmother's hobnailed underwear, and the bit in the Young Ones where Mike comes in saying "what's this fish doing in my bed?"
'Surrealism' in comedy is just a lazy way of saying 'different', or implying you couldn't repeat the humour with your friends over a tipple (unless you're very good). That said, most 'surreal' comedy is alright, it's just got a crap title.
That was just a load of sixth-former wank, basically, wasn't it?
