Teething problems infer infancy. By the time this thing gets into commercial service, it will have pubic hair and tits !

We have a chant for opposition supporters like you lot in football; "You only sing when you're winning ! You only sing when you're winning ! Sing when you're win-ning ! You only sing when you're winning....." Or " You don't turn up, if you're loosing ! You don't turn, up if you're loosing......

I think this Saturday, there will be many more with a day off. At least it isn't the world cup next year, if the season over runs from bad weather.

Unless it looks like an England victory by the 4th day ! The ground was empty on the last day of the first test.

And you wonder why we love beating you at cricket. Australians, the most balanced people in the world. They have a chip on both shoulders. Next time there is a bush fire or drought in the U.K, send us some money Cobber ! You might appreciate some of our rainy weather soon. That desert is getting bigger.

It's probably the American version, like tire, humor, Juli.........

Jhonson - that's the bowler I was telling Gonzo about. Lefthander, weird wide, low, bowling action. Almost chucks it. He should stick to bowling over the wicket after that wide 4 he gave away. Gave the 'keeper no chance. So what do you think ? Batsmen or bowlers, will dominate the next test ?

Well, Boeing have certainly not had a mid air emergency with passengers on board, or international service of any airline disrupted - YET ! This may happen when they start to fly. This has to be a time for a 1000Bht sweepstake, to see who can get closest to the month/year of it's maiden commercial flight ? I'd go for Aug-2011.

There must have been more Barmy army on that flight than Ausies at the last day of the 1st test. I have never seen such an empty stadium for a test match. Was it the price of the tickets ?

Thanks Gonzo. I have played on better wickets at the local cricket ground. I would have loved to bowl on that cracked, rutted surface. It was too 'damaged' to know where it would bounce, no matter how good a bowler you were. That dark haired lefthander of yours, has a weird action. He seems to swing wide, almost below shoulder height, hardly overarm at all. As a commentator said. " Both teams hardly learned anything about each other on this wicket. The next game will be like the first " So between just you and me- what's your prediction for the next game ? I could do with a

I think the one to avoid is pepper spray. I was told it comes under a firearms offense to import it to the U.K.

517-1 ? That's quite good isn't it ?

And I take your wishes for double centuries for our batsman, in the way it was intended What is it they say ? Be careful what you wish for ?

Blame you for the problems of my country ? When ? All I suggested was, that a lot of Germans may be regret joining the Euro single Currency. Many were against it in the first place. They have my sympathy ! It was a flippant remark, followed by rolling eyes. - You decided to get the arse about what I said - "If it wasn't for Germany- you would all bite the dust- England included ! " ..... you're miserable lives ..... and so on. And they say Germans have no sense of humour. Yes I am a bitter man. A pint of London Pride will do. ( That also is a joke )

There has already been a lot of 'dust biting' in Europe thanks to Germany in the last century. Somehow we English always seem to pull through, regardless.

How about my standing up for you in the " Here we go Again" thread ?

Bet your old countrymen are thinking about a return to the Mark ? Dam zoes English Svines keepink zeier Pfund !

If the proof of the pudding is in the eating... The proof of the aircraft, must be in the flying - with passengers- in service ? Know what ? Me and Herb are gonna be sooo disappointed after all this wait to see the first 787 land here. We will probably look at each other as if to say- " Is that it ?" Now, about those 707's V Comets......

Last day was 02nd of November - this November. Was in FLB Halloween night for a quick one. Si calls it the cold bar-still ! I find the FLB a bit clique. Perhaps that's just my personality. Watched Arsenal V W. Ham with Hammer at Cherry. Noticed a small Singha varied from 55bht to 110bht at various venues- yours being the 110. Cherry 80..... A pair of flip flops for my daughter near Mikes, were three times the price I paid in England for the ones I was wearing- and they have a bottle opener built into them. Lady I have paid to do my finger nails on beach for 9 year

If I was to compare the Pattaya I knew 10 years ago to today, by using TV proggrames. I would have to say. it has gone from The Benny hill Show, to some sort of, in your face, Reality TV show, like Cops with Cameras. It was all such a laugh...... But then I think that about Margate, Southend, Blackpool.....

That's great for the traffic flow rate of TLV, or one or two 747's a day. A departure every few minutes like LHR, would make it impractical. I once checked in downtown Tel Aviv on EL-AL with my Greek Cypriot mate. After 3 months in the sun, he looked rather Arabic. The Check in girl called a security guard to ask why he has a larger number page British passport. When the guard asked where he came from, my mate replied Cyprus. Darned if the guard didn't speak the local Greek Cypriot dialect to him. If my mate had been lying he would have been found out. That was impressive. S

My advise to her ? If you break up with Andy. Don't go fucking any Muslims after your divorce. Do your own driving. They don't like it up yer !

I have a certain sympathy with Martin here. The news channels here are headlining snow in Scotland today with phrases like- " Last year was the worse winter in living memory " No it wasn't 1962 was. " The problem is, this threat of snow is not going away in the near future " Well not for December- January and February. Nothing new under the sun. Me and Herb are off to gather winter fuel. Oh, got my £250 fuel allowance today. A nice bottle of Scotch will help keep the chill out.

Didn't one of the Space Shuttles blow up on take off, due to a small component made in Taiwan, that failed ? Many British companies are now boasting All British call centers. The outsourcing to India didn't suit the consumer..... The George in Staines, has replaced its surly European bar staff with English ones. Their refusing to serve a blind man with his guide dog making the local press, didn't help and a local hotel has replaced it's Polish staff with English people. Perhaps the pendulum is swinging back ?

Well, the SQ 380, took off from LHR today in the same way it has taken off for quite a while now. We haven't seen a 787 to compare the two yet. Herb is 5yo already, he hopes to live to see the day.
