Hi Bilby - Just spotted a question you posed in a comment back in 2009 (!) on my aviation list ("Let's go strap on the ole air'chine and bore holes in the sky!") to wit: "what is a 'rooster tail'?" If it still matters see image here...or, since I've added it to the list: rooster tail.

Bilby is, as usual, a lode of useful information. I once went skiing in Chamonix, where les Guides des Alpes are universally admired, but I failed to understand the sense of their characteristic cries.
They're famed for feats of derring-do
But guides of the Alps are scholars too.
It's knowledge they seek
When they call from a peak
And plaintively ask, "Beaudelaire, he who?"January 11, 2015

Bonsoir Monsieur Bilby,
Where are you, actuellement?
I am back in Paris, being forced to write about such big fat frauds as Charles "Mr Spleen" Baudelaire.
But in two more weeks I shall be free, free as a bird!

Bilby, I wish you a happy new year. I am grateful for the comments you have given me. I have been slow to respond mostly because I could not figure out how to do it. I have been looking for an ongoing thread I could reply to but I have failed to find it, so now I have visited your dashboard. This seems rather roundabout, like exiting the house and ringing the doorbell again before replying, but it is all I can manage for the moment.

bilby commented on the word broken-time payment
A term from the 1800s where 'amateur' players began to claim compensation for time away from work to travel to and play in matches. This was a forerunner of full professionalism. It related originally to soccer but as rules and definitions of 'football' were fluid for decades before codified rules it is relevant to the early days of most versions of football.

bilby commented on the word cataractagenitus
A cloud whose formation is caused by a waterfall.
"Tall waterfalls, and indeed monumental ones like the mighty Niagara Falls viewed here from the Canadian side, cause the air to become saturated with moisture. The relentless cascade of water also drags air downwards, which in turn encourages the air in neighbouring regions to lift up to replace it. And whenever saturated air lifts, cooling a little as it does so, there is also the chance for cloud to form."

bilby commented on the word British aristocracy is a death cult
"A visit to almost any stately home reveals something hidden by centuries of justifying myth: the British aristocracy is a death cult. In most of the grand houses on public display, there are scenes or implements of killing wherever you look. Paintings of battles and paintings of hunts, both featuring men in uniform charging on horseback, hang among weapons of war and animal heads. Britain’s traditional ruling classes are as obsessed with death as any street gang in Tegucigalpa. Killing, after all, is how they got there."
