The flying Monck

Lord Monckton parachutes into Durban

At first I thought this was a joke. Then I see Monck flying through the air via live cam during freefall, grinning no less. Marc Morano gives the introduction.

I note that that in his note to Durban, the esteemed and OK Senator said that they are ‘on the ground in Durban’.

I might add, that’s a great headline, Anthony.
(For our non-U.S. friends, “The Flying Nun” was a very popular TV show in the U.S. in the ’60s and ’70s)

Well common courtesy protocol has always caused me to refer to the Viscount by his Title; Lord Monckton.
But in view of this breach of propriety, I feel that just this once, it is ok for me to say; Christopher, you are a Dude !
Outstanding Sir.

Great video, but it’s really a shame that the voice audio was so bad.

Lord A’Mighty! “That’s one small step for the Viscount, One giant leap for Mankind!”
I LOVE IT!!!

One thing everyone has to admit—the Viscount is a Mensch!

It is funny to me that the worst thing they can actually pin on Lord Monckton is that he is entertaining.
He is. Doesn’t make him wrong.

Were any Lords injured during the making of that video?
Just wonderin’.

What surprised me, so people could not say ‘That;s a body double’ he left off his helmet? That was taking a safety chance isn’t it? Well done Lord Christopher, now top it Mr Combet and realise humans are heavier that CO2.

I would truly like to pack Al Gores parachute so that he could “one up” Christopher Monckton’s feat. GK

You’re mistaken. Unless Lord Monckton is James Bond 😉

Could be that this is James Bond’s retirement gig. Still saving the world!

What a statement, the media will have a hay day! Just don’t try it again, or Al might interfere with
your parachute?

Lord Monckton, sucking some of the marrow out of life.
