  1. You're right Tommy....... he seems to struggle to understand certain things....... you would have thought somebody who claims to have been to Cambridge would be able to comprehend English better than Denny does.
  2. Thought you were clued up on all things about planes... the A380 uses 4 engines!!! That's more like 7 out of 80..... hardly the large percentage you are claiming....... and that doesn't include engines that will have been swapped during maintenance.
  3. Sow how big do you call a large percentage? Oils leaks have been found on 7 engines....... 7 engines from a total of 20 RR engined A380s in service is hardly a large percentage!!! If the airlines are only finding oil leaks now.... then surely it show their maintenance regimes need looking at. Oil leaks should have been picked up long before now. And it's not as though P&W, or GE engines have never had an oil leak or a catastrophic failure, is it?
  4. And Kissinger is rumoured to be making an appearance!!!
  5. Boeing obviously think it is a serious problem if they have halted all test flights.
  6. For all you American scaremongers.... Full article here First of it's kind since 1994..... so not exactly a regular occurrence, is it?
  7. The way you yanks are going on about it, you would think American Built airplanes or engines have never had a mechanical failure!!!!
  8. And when was the last time an American Companies Engine won the F1 World Championship? Answer - 1994 And 1994 was the only one since 1982!!! So European companies can't cut the mustard....
  9. Drink Singha in Thailand.... and Singha in the UK!!!!
  10. Last time I was in Nana some bars were allowing smoking..... and some others told me to go outside....
  11. I don't have a bike license but have ridden a scooter in Pattaya.... But I wouldn't do it when drunk!!! And we keep a scooter up north for getting round the village when we are there.
  12. You will find a lot of the mafia in Pattaya has a tie-in with the police.
  13. I know there is some Indian mafia operating in Pattaya.
  14. All the British Airways Concordes are preserved. Of the Air France Concordes,, all but two of them have been preserved. F-BTSC was destroyed in the Paris air crash) F-BVFD was stripped for spares in 1982 and scrapped in 1994 There is even plans to to restore one of the Concordes to flying condition with the goal of flying for the opening ceremony of the 2012 London Olympics.
  15. Just to pay for the bar you need to be making 600 baht every day. Do-able? Probably, but it's not in the best of locations. and there are a lot of extra costs on top that need to be considered. Location, location, location is the best principle for choosing where to have a bar. Otherwise you can struggle. I used to have a bar on New Plaza...... not a bad location, but it was hard to compete with the bars down the middle. I was lucky, we sold that bar for a profit. On moving to a complex on Second Road we got much more passing trade and didn't need to compete with the neighbouring
  16. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Google is your friend!
  17. I use OpenOffice if I need to use an office suite, which isn't very often.
  18. A350 Production has started!!! I won't make a BigD prediction about when it will fly or when first delivery will be...... But it's nice to see production has started.!
  19. And some photos Around 10000 people turned up to see it arrive. Shame about the Cathay Pacific dinosaur taxiing past the spectator viewing area just as the Emirates A380 was landing. I noticed that they used A6-EDL, their newest A380 in service!!! Using the A380 on the Manchester route give a big increase in capacity without having to add an extra daily flight. Well done Emirates!!!!
  20. Now I can fly A380 Manchester - Dubai - Bangkok.... certainly beating being crammed into a 777!!!
  21. Do you mean to say he is another plagiarist, just like BigBunky!!!
