So let's say 45 minutes per cd. You listen to them 10 hours a day. That's:

(45 * 300,000) / (60 * 10 * 365) = 61,6 years.

If you are older than 25, don't buy them.

I'm asking this because... I'm belgian.

Well, I am Dutch."

It is, to the French as well.

And well, I am French.

BAE managed a good PR campaign by playing up the potential loss of the contract in term of revenue (£40bn over 20, years which is true) and job loss (50,000 jobs, which is not). 50,000 workers represent the total number of people working on the Eurofighter project.

The loss of the contract (72 airplanes), while certainly not good for BEA finances, would not have caused many layoffs.
