Bob Belzy

I've asked this in a few places, but so far nobody seems to know the answer. They are burying the power cables, but what about the other 90% of cables hanging from power poles that are not power cables? The boring and digging I've seen so far will in no way take the fibre optic and other cables. Are they going to remove the poles and leave the other guys 'hanging in thin air'?

Mamasan tells one of her Uzbek girls, "Time is you have a check up" Girl replies " I had Pole and an Austrian yesterday; that not close enough?" <Groan>

Some old Bob Monkhouse stand up jokes, I've deleted some of the really cringe worthy ones: The last time I was in Spain I got through six Jeffrey Archer novels. I must remember to take enough toilet paper next time. Personally, I don't think there's intelligent life on other planets. Why should other planets be any different from this one? I can still enjoy sex at 74 - I live at 75, so it's no distance. People always say: 'You're a comedian, tell us a joke.' They don't say: 'You're an MP, tell us a lie.' I believe hard work will never hurt you....provided

There was a young man from Bude Who fingered his barfine while they queued A katoey at the front, said "do I smell cunt?" Just like that, right out loud; fucking rude!

Seems you have got Paddy and Mary a bit fucked up, but then it is an Irish joke. Paddy says to Mary if you were stranded on a desert island who would you like most to be with you?” “My uncle Mick” replies Mary. “What’s so special about him?” asks Paddy. “He’s got a boat,” says Mary

Does anyone know if they are putting all of the cables under or just the power cables? If its just power are they taking the poles down and leaving the internet etc. guys to find their own solution?

Feeling depressed, an aging ex-boxer visits the doctor. "Doc, you've gotta help me", he moans. "I just can't get to sleep at night". "Have you tried counting sheep?" the doctor asks. The boxer sighs, "Yes, but every time I get to nine I'm wide awake again".

The Romans built one too, but the world is still full of bloody Jocks.

Little Johnny comes running home and boasts to his mother "I just had sex with my French teacher". His mother was disgusted and told him to go and speak to his father. Hearing the story, his father smiled and said " instead of waiting for your birthday let's go and buy that new bike I promised". Johnny grimaced and said "can we wait till the weekend?". "Why?", asked his father. " 'Coz my arse is sore" replied Johnny.

Did the trip with Bangkok Air, reasonable price and although an ATR72 turboprop it didn't take much longer than a jet. Very quick in and out at U'tapao, but Phuket was a bit of a pain still.

Confirms that it wasn't the wings then.... Some historical bedtime reading on these hot nights. 19540408-2_COMT_G-ALYY.pdf

Not sure what you disagree with as I wrote pretty much what you wrote, although in different words. Incidentally a technical point, the problem was not the wings, it was metal fatigue in the corners of the window cut outs that caused the fuselage to fail. Once they switched from rectangular to oval cut outs the problem went away. In military Nimrod form, the aircraft was still operating up to March 2010.

The Comet bounced back, although too late to restore confidence and build market share before the B707 took the lead. People have short memories; they will be climbing back on the Max soon enough. Boeing seem to be resisting any re-badging.

Perth is very nice this week, 25C up to around 30C by the end of the week. Nice low humidity. Downside is you'll pay a fortune for a hotel (by comparison with Patts) and a one hour root with a visiting 20 something Chinese girl will cost you $180 to $200.

I hadn't twigged until now that not only was MCAS enforced nose trim involved, but that the stick pusher was also involved. What with alarms going off etc, I can imagine that it would have been a very confusing situation.

Found this article today, not a quick read, but very readable. https://spectrum.ieee.org/aerospace/aviation/how-the-boeing-737-max-disaster-looks-to-a-software-developer

Nothing fake here ?

And 100% fake.

An old lady goes to the doctor with an embarrassing problem. "What's the problem Mrs Brown?" asked the doctor. "Well you see it's the wind, I pass it all the time. Its doesn't smell and they are silent, but its very uncomfortable" she replied. "I must have done it 5 times since I came in". "Well", says the doctor, "take the pills in this prescription for a week and come back to see me when they are finished". A week later, back she comes to the doctor in a right old state. "Doctor, I don't know what those pills did, but my wind stinks now and everyone is looking at me". Calm dow

A break in recently took place at Manchester City's ground. The entire contents of the trophy room were stolen. Police are looking for a light blue carpet and a drinking water dispenser.
