I’m quite happy when they drop in at my place.
Always guaranteed at least a bottle of whisky to cover the landing fees.

My first thought on seeing this thread.

If not for that film I might never have known of the Montgolfier brothers, and I certainly wouldn't have known the date

What the hell was going through the mind of the inventor of the first hot air balloon? “Aye love I’m just popping out. Dinnar where I’ll land though, could be an hour or I might need to get a taxi back from Johannesburg so I’ll see ya when I see ya”

You can control where you land.

I'v decided to put my hot ar balloon company on the stock market. Gonna float it next week.

I?

I always thought if anyone could help me get my head around it, it would be the SMBers.

Cheers. Didn't see it. This phone is a nightmare for writing on here sometimes. Often misses an E off when I type words with a " 've " on the end.

Great opening post. Memorable, I'd say.

Gee thanks young man.

No worries. Just didn't want you to launch it with a spelling error marra.

Only up to a point, depending on wind direction.

Thanks mate.
The IPO would just be a PO

Well aye, but it's not just "fuck it, see where we end up"

To a large extent it is.

It's not. Unless every one I've been on we just got lucky

The pilot steers it, using wind direction to steer with or into whilst climbing and descending.

I've travelled on a hot air balloon for about an hour - can recommend if you get the chance.

1783 was a very good year.

You have the manners of a goat and you smell like a dung heap.

Fake hot air balloon

Fake bread balloon.

I’m googling this.

 

[Keawyeds]

Fake Taxi?

I'm pretty sure the concept wouldn't work if a hot air balloon was the mode of transport

That said...

Not only that, it's more or less pinched off Twitter.
