The General Chat Thread (4)

I've just realised that Yuri Gagarin died on this day in 1968 aged 34.
So who have I been chatting to on here if it's not him?
I hope it's not a case of the Russians trying to infiltrate our forum and influence which direction the various threads take.
And I bet they've hacked our private messages too!
I demand and full and far reaching inquiry into this very worrying turn of events!

Well it's taken a long time, but my deception has been spotted, although it's taken someone as clever as
Running Man to work it out !
But you are slightly wide of the mark RM ( and not sinister at all !)
Back in the 60's the Russians were desperate to beat the Americans to put a manned spaceship in orbit, but they
lacked the necessary expertise. So a secret Russian delegation was despatched to the Midlands to seek help, and
eventually they managed to find a small engineering firm based in a shed in Wolverhampton, who agreed to cobble
together the first Soyuz 1 spacecraft ( hence the Brummie connection!)
And now you're wondering why I call myself Yuri Gagarin? 
It's simple really, my father was one of the guys who helped build that spacecraft ( he designed the heat resistant
wing mirrors) and I still live in that very same shed in the Black Country!
But why the sudden interest RM ??
Have you just finished a long running investigation of your own, and you are now looking for something new to look into ??
I'm now wondering if the initials RM don't stand for Running Man at all, I have a strong feeling that you are
in fact President Trump's nemesis  - Robert Mueller ??  
Am I right ??

And that, comrade, is detente.
I won't tell your secret if you don't tell mine.
Thanks for the history lesson too.

Your secret will always be safe with me my friend !

And I'd love to share a little détente with you too one day ! 

'I don't believe it! "

Morning all

Guess what? I'm not really a diamond. And I'm pretty sure Hovis isn't a load of bread, although I could be wrong

All these lies, deceptions and secrets

Oh it's definitely true Hovis, you know us Brummies are very adept at building things !

Just take a look at the pic of the Soyuz spacecraft ( the spikey things are the wing mirrors !)
You can clearly see the smooth shapely fuselage was an inspiration for that other Birmingham 
design classic - the Austin Allegro !

Did the Soyuz have a square steering wheel too?

Of course - Yuri Gagarin insisted upon it !!

Morning all. Another lovely day out, which is good as I'm heading down south later
