xircon Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 Afterbird is a lock-in Afterburn is what jet engines do to get a little extra power, a secondary ignition system that burns off any unspent fuel from the primary ignition system.

Longcol Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 just cos a few people says i'm wrong doesn't mean i am.... i need proof not hear say!! what actually is afterburn?? its what happens to the engines when a jet plane is stopping, but the engines carry on for a short time.. hence when i finish a session, but would fancy another pint or 2 somewhere (afterburn) Maybe you'd believe some fellow Blades. http://www.rivals.net/default.asp?sid=926&p=2&stid=8131743 Perhaps next time you're with a group of mates having a drink after a match you suggest a spot of "afterburn" - and await their puzzled looks.
