Expedition Strength[^]
She doesn't know it yet but I am going to for the full Handlebar.
Guaranteed to put her in a dowdy mizzle, but the high levels of awesomeness it will generate will be worth the memsahib's chokey ire.
Well, dash me optics, she will think, he's only applied wax to the bacca pipes.
I may even sport a door-knocker, now that will lead to a right collie shangles.
But I am like a tiger when my dander's up,but I shall try my best to let it lie, perhaps powder my hair with some cat lap.
'Tis a dashed awkward thing getting the muzzle fuzz to tip top condition, but a well trimmed lamp between my sauce-box and my parish pick axe should excite the ladies!

You need to go to Victorian London.
The full handlebar is a moustache.
A dowdy mizzle is a an upset state.
Memsahib is Wife
Chokey ire is an anger that makes you speechless.
Dash me optics means I cannot believe my eyes.
Bacca pipes are the ends of a moustache.
Door knocker is a type of beard.
Collie shangles is an argument.
Powder my hair is to drink, and cat lap is a weak beer.
Muzzle fuzz is facial hair.
A lamp is a waxed moustache.
Sauce box and parish pick axe are your mouth and nose.

Google doesn't support Gibberish to English translation yet, so we've to rely on what the OP claims to be the definitions.

I try.
I am the sort of chap who is happy to wander round town wearing a day cravat and tweeds.
Not only do I smoke a pipe from time to time, but I have a well stocked snuff box.
I was born out of time.

This is the guy. We used to have a teacher at primary school who was quite smitten by him I think. She read us stories of his exploits in anaconda infested South America which were pretty much all bs.

OMG
I am ex-Royal Horse Artillery, have travelled the world (including South America) and am now starting the first stages of what I want to be a particularly fine example of a handlebar moustache.
I had never heard of this man...yet he seems such a cool guy.

Yes he was from a now lost breed. His exploits although embellished or perhaps because kept us on the edge of our seats and away from schoolwork for many many afternoons. I still remember lots about them more than 50 years later.

Description of product Link says: "For those who require something a little firmer". Makes sense why you plan to buy this.

Bit quiet around here today. I can only think that we've all started our holidays early!
Nevertheless, it's the weekend!
Happy weekend everyone!

TGIF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.-John Q. Adams You must accept one of two basic premises: Either we are alone in the universe, or we are not alone in the universe. And either way, the implications are staggering.-Wernher von Braun Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.-Albert Einstein

Anyone here an armchair pilot?
I have Falcon 4.0[^] which I like, but it's old.
Can anyone recommend a decent game?
If it's not broken, fix it until it is

I can pilot an armchair, but that's about it. I did take helicopter lessons, but decided that it was way too expensive a hobby for normal people to indulge...

I have been working on the one in the middle this evening. Too bad that I will probably not get to fly too much in the next few months.

I had Faclon, never really cared for it. Would recommend MS Flight sim if it wasn't so buggy and laggy. XPlane, unf. isn't a game and is pure sim so is less fun for the casual player. I don't remember off the top of my head but there are some circa 90's flight sims that are all pretty fun.
