I was sitting at home with no electricity and clear skies the other day and could notice many planes passing overhead. Anyway, I was wondering why some were pretty loud and others were not audible at all, so I did a bit of digging on flightradar24 and checked which ones were making noise and which were passing by relatively quietly.
Anyway, it appears that planes with older engines such as Boeing 767s and Airbus A330s were the culprits, usually making that whooshing sound associated with planes flying overhead at cruising altitude. Newer jets such as Airbus A350s and Boeing 787s weren’t making a sound at all.
Also noticed a 747 flying at low altitude which was landing in Shannon. One of the greatest machines of the 20th century, along with the Saturn V rocket
Robbie would make a great spokesman for Brexit Jim. “Why shouldn’t the tea ladies be cut? They’re useless and diverting money away from shareholder profits.”
Actually maybe Claudine might have her eye on that role.
Best footballers in the world since 1971:
Johan Cruyff 1971 to 1978
Diego Maradona 1978 to 1991
Marco Van Basten 1991-1992
Roberto Baggio 1993-1995
Ronaldo 1996-2003
Ronaldinho 2003-2007
Lionel Messi 2007-2023
Lamine Yamal 2024 to present
All but Van Basten and Baggio have played for Barcelona.
Slight preference given to a couple of lads I would’ve played with growing up.
Keith Foy included to get the fans in. He’d seen better days by the time he got to Monaghan. Scully, Shiels and Smyth were warriors. We’ve had a couple of colourful goalkeepers through the years.
FWIW hard to see a reincarnation of Monaghan United at this level. The senior team isn’t near the top 3 or 4 in Cavan/Monaghan and didn’t go well in the Ulster Senior League before withdrawing.
