  1. If there were a direct PTY to ANG, which town would do best out of the easy access, between them ?
  2. On a sort of serious side, do you think we are getting the quality of engineering people, we once had ? This dumbing down of exam results in recent years, may be filtering through to the work place. Remember when Rolls Royce had trouble with their RB211 engines fans ? The company called people back from retirement to sort it out. A Butcher I once worked with would often say " To find another Butcher as good as me, you would have to dig him up from the Grave yard ! " He's in there himself now. Even the quality of my generation of workers at Air Canada, who retired with me, have
  3. I was not concerned with the type of scanner, more with the interaction between the scanner and the scanned. It is a potential flash point, that needs a certain amount of patience. Only you as the scanned, will be subjected to inconvenience if you start to mouth off. Death, taxes and security, are the non avoidable things in life.
  4. So he was lucky goal scorer.Not someone you need in your team is it ? What is it Napoleon said ? " Don't bring me good Generals, bring me lucky ones "
  5. I used to get scanned every time I went to work at LHR. The scanners job is as boring as fuck. No offense. but it would drive anyone with a sense of ambition and job satisfaction crazy. It is easy work and S.E. Asians seem to cope doing it. Workers witnessed the tighter screening year by year. From a plastic photo card to an electronic swipe card. From being allowed to carry a small knife, to not. Everyone working on air side aprons had to wear metal toe caps, so off went the alarm. Blokes came in complaining about having their bollocks felt while being frisked. Your day could get a ba
  6. Now, I know why BigD started the Boeing V Comet thread. It was a diversion from this one. Good try bigD,
  7. Yeah about 5 months earlier ! Stat's in The Times, show Crouch scored one goal for England every 99mins he played. Rooney every 187mins, Heskey scored one every 488mins of play. Did Crouch fuck Capello's daughter or something ? He fucked the whole of England, so I hope Crouchy did !
  8. At least you will be able to watch it. Only live on SKY here. Highlights on ITV at 10pm. Can't this Government get their priorities right ? Sorry, I forgot myself, it is only the English who want to watch it. They are way down the priority list.
  9. It's amazing how much Wembley Stadium, resembled Griffin Park on the pitch last night. That was stroke of genius by the manager, to get Gerrard to fake an injury, so he could bring Crouch on to score in about 90 seconds of replacing him.
  10. Villa, The interesting question is- Will the time you have to sit on you arse to get there, be a longer in hours, than how many your first L.Boy will have to stand up for, after you have finished with him ? It's a poser ain't it ?
  11. It's their backyard and the Thais just like to occasionally remind you of who runs the joint. An attitude that is sadly lacking in many countries.
  12. As I said, Thai claim the most efficient air filtration system in the airline industry. The thought that perhaps this highly efficient system, may have an effect on the pressure inside the cabin, came to me.
  13. We were unlucky. 90+ minute equalizer. Now we know how teams playing Man. U. feel with those 'Ferggie minutes' at the end . We have won 3 out of 4 penalty shoot outs. Everton- L.Orient- Swindon. Lost to Birmingham City. I heard a rumour that the Everton goalkeeping coach was giving advise to B.City counterpart about our number 3, who scored against them in a penalty shoot out. His penalty kicks go straight at the keeper, who normally dives away from it. The Birm' goalie was prepared for it and saved it by standing still. Premier league snides ! At least they were worried enoug
  14. I once stood under the Mennin Gate while the local fire brigade played The Last Post. They did this EVERY DAY at 9pm in Summer and 6pm in winter. There were old soldiers there, some in wheelchairs. It moved me to tears to see them saluting their dead comrades. This was in 1968. They have now joined them. Harry Patch being the last Tommy to die this year or so. No greater love has any man...... Well posted Tom.
  15. The flight was full coming from LHR, I got the last seat ! It was not a bad one 38H on the aisle. I was wearing those tight calf length sock- Steady Villa ! As it was a night flight, I did sleep a fair bit of the way. I have done this trip ooodles of time before with no prob. Perhaps I am just getting old. it was so painful, I got in touch with my son back home, to call the NHS help line for me, but they wouldn't give advise to anyone not in the country. Drank a bottle of water and sat on the balcony, waiting to hear the result of Brentford/ Birmingham Cup game from my mate at the ma
  16. We staff, find s/by on 25th and 31st of Dec good days to get a seat. We have to work both days, why not fly on them ? Edited to add- Unless you are flying to Miami, the 25th is booked as a normal day.
  17. My mate flew back to LOS on Thai last month. He told me he was laid up for days with swollen ankles. I flew out a week later and had leg pain from my hips to feet for two nights. to such an extent I couldn't sleep. Met another mate a day later and he had ankles more swollen than usual. We are all in our 60's, but had not suffered this type of swelling before. I had taken a Cialis on the first night, but i have taken them several times before with no trouble.... Unless the drug got lost on it's way down and turned left and right at my groin instead of going straight on. Thing is,
  18. A few of them and nothing worn under the kilt, could get you walking around in a tartan tent !
  19. Now Torres is scoring again. I wonder how much each goal has cost LPL ? As much as each Rooney goal costs Man.U ?
  20. When I was shopping in the local sports shop, came to the football boots and realized I will never need to buy them again.
  21. Surely a waterproof Elastoplast will do Villa ?
  22. Thing is Hub, it was the likes of me who had to sign for these baggage scanners at the end of the working day, all 20,000 quids worth. Or fill in a report as to why they were not there. When somebody walked in the office with one in pieces because it had been run over, or left on a baggage dolly and fallen off onto the road, the " You Useless C### " came easily to mind . As it happens I was a joy to work for- as long as you did your job right ! I have to go to funeral of one of my ex blokes Thursday. Kiwi and smashing bloke in his 50's........ Every day mate- every day.
  23. I concur. When working at Heathrow, I had English, Indian, Sri lankan, Polish subordinates. If any of them did something wrong, they were a useless clunt, but not an Indian, Sri lankan, or Polish, useless clunt. They more than half expected to be called it, if they cocked up and would have felt they were being treated different if they weren't summed up by a phrase, such as; " Youv'e left a 2 Grand scanner in the container and its on its way to Toronto ? You Useless cu..... ! " Never had a complaint.
  24. Just a thought, but if the local Aus ex rate is on par with the Brit one, you may be dissapointed at how much you get by changing Baht to AUD. I was in T4 LHR, a few weeks back and one outfit was buying THB at 55 to the GBP ( and selling at 42) how many of us Brits, would like to buy THB at 55 for a quid? The more you change up, the more it will dissapoint old son.
  25. Try calling either one a C##t without being called racist joe.
