Would you fly in a helicopter?

I told my young daughters yesterday i don’t want them to go in a helicopter, especially the tourist sight seeing type ones.
Can reel off so many high profile fatal helicopter crashes over the years both UK and abroad and a colleague of mine and my wife’s died in a high profile crash a few years ago.
Helicopters are always fighting to be away from the ground and consist of thousands of components flying in close formation.
I’ve never flew in one and never intend to either.

Fascination: Big musical bands/artists playing concerts at Championship or lower stadiums over summer.

Always raised a smile when seeing an advert for a massive musical name touring the UK and including some Championship stadiums on the itinerary.
Think Elton John has played at Carrow Road and Take That go to St Marys.
Any others? The bigger the divide between size of the act and lower down the EFL host the better.

Fascination - Foreign Premier League players speaking their native language on International Duty.

Sounds very obvious but for certain foreign Prem players who can speak flawless English like Haaland, i can’t imagine them switching back to their mother tongue when representing their country.
I’ve only ever heard Haaland speak English and whilst playing and training at City, must talk and listen to everyone else speaking various levels English for most of the year. Maybe he converses with his partner in English too.
Then for a short period of time in the year, he plays and trains and interviews whilst speaking Norwegian.
Probably most relevant to Scandinavian and Dutch players whose English is always excellent.
Basically i can’t comprehend a Norwegian guy speaking Norwegian.

Prince William’s MHD’s

What would his MHD’s be if he was on the pod next week?

Maybe Adam could book him in about 10 years time when he’s doing the press circuit plugging his Coronation.

I’m sure the subject of TV camera angles has been talked about previously but everytime i see highlights from Ashton Gate, i’m always amazed by how high the main camera position is.
It makes the pitch look absolutely massive, almost a vertical view of it.
I can’t think of another stadium which has such a high TV view of the pitch.
I remember White Hart Lane angle being quite high and far forward so when play was at the bottom of the screen, it looked as if the camera had to be tipped so far forward to almost pointing straight down.
