Good God, no!
The last thing you want with something like that is Dutch customer service. You'd die of thirst.

Na, mine's got panniers. And a top box, saddle bag and handle bar bag.
Don't want to get thirsty, what!

All adequately insulated and kept well stocked with ice, I would hope.

Helicopters don't fly, they vibrate so violently that the ground rejects them!

When I took my first rotary wing pilot lesson, one of the instructors first comments was "Ready? Right! Let's turn some money into noise!"

THey've got it all wrong with Helicopters.
They've got the main cabin where the pilot sits under the rotary blade.
All that noise.
Just switch it so the cabin and pilot are above the rotary blade.
Simple solution, silly engineers.

Actually the newer ones are only noise with a little vibration but the old Sikorsky[^] helicopters would rattle your teeth out.

The picture at that site marked:
Sikorsky link S-58 with Hot Dog Floats in Gulf of Mexico
...is almost the same kind of engineering I was offering up with "put the blade on the bottom".
It's funny, because that one looks like someone thought, "how could we make that helicopter be able to land on water?"

From 67-70 I had a chance to ride in many choppers but luckily not many of those as the USMC had phased them out and only the Navy was using them. The Navy didn't like to haul us Marines around seems we attracted unwanted attention.

You flew in proper wum-wums* then?
- Only ONE helicopter went wum-wum-wum-wum because they only ever fitted half the blades.

Flew in more of these[^] than anything else, they were pretty cool. Wouldn't mind going up in one again now just for the hell of it.

No plane, fixed or wonky, sounds like the Huey. You hear just one and think "Fock me, they've invaded! Again!"

Yeah they've got a distinctive sound and you can hear them coming from a long way off.

But what gets me is this:
The chat function is the main tool used by the global financial community and is included in the cost of a terminal--about $20,000 a year.
So, something that you can find free on the Internet, the financial community is paying $20K per year per terminal for?
BTW, an interesting read[^].
Personally:
By midmorning, the U.K.’s debt-management office said it had postponed a scheduled buyback of government debt, citing ongoing technical issues with a third-party platform supplier, which a spokesperson confirmed to be Bloomberg.
Hmmm. How suspicious.

I'd suspect that the $20,000pa is the cost of the terminal, not just the chat.

Yes, I just found it ironic that chat was the most popular feature of the terminal.

Well, for many, chat is the most popular feature here, too...

Don't think of it as "chat" - think of it as "The Bullingdon Club" online.

The headline is inaccurate, in the same way that they are always inaccurate when the story concerns a disaster in the financial sector.
It should read: "Some Greedy B@st@rd has Found a New Sneaky Way to get Rich at Everyone Else's Expense, Again!"

Not for long. A bunch of banks bought this company called Symphony which will provide a unified chat and social media platform. It's supposed to be rolled out sometime this year, and then BBG terminals will go bye-bye.
Except, obviously, the ones that are used for real trading.
Disclaimer: Not that I'm peddling anything, but I don't work for Symphony, although I work for a large bank.
