Anything and everything? Let me see..... Boeing and Pontiac Vibes...... yes...... Anything and everything...... not quite!!! I have owned and driven Fords for 30 years.... I don't knock them. Admittedly not quite up to the quality of my Porsche, but I still own a classic Ford. I have also owned a Citroen GS, not a bad car, but it was let down by Citroen using poor alternators. But you seem to take every opportunity to knock anything European.

Yet again you have a dig a European engineering and manufacturing. Did you know Citroen were World Rally Champions again this year.... A title they have won 5 times out of the last 7. So their cars can't be that bad!!! Do you go hunting the net looking for every single Airbus mechanical problem? Airbus aren't alone in having problems... So do Boeings......... Was on an Emirates 773 bound for BKK and as the pilot taxied out for take-off they found a problem with the aircraft and deemed it unsafe to fly, good thing it happened before we took off!!!

Be prepared for floods in USA tomorrow as the BigBunky, Mr Magoo, Scallywally and the Boeing Fanboys start wanking like crazy over the webcam show of the first flight..... They'll all cum within seconds of takeoff! :wanker

All the Boeing fanboys will be sitting in front of their PCs wanking like crazy over the Nightmareliner for the next couple of weeks!!!!! They went crazy over the news of an order for 5 747-8i's from Korean Air.

Why don't you tell us.... you're an expert at thread fucking!!!!

I guess you classify me as one of your knockers. So why am I knocking you? Perhaps it's because of being involved in a family coach business with a lot of experience in airport transfers, that I know what is expected from customers. My brother built up his business from running a 16 seater minibus and a private hire car on airport runs to having 12 coaches working for national tour companies. Customers expect pick-ups on time, drivers to be safe and courteous and that their trip is made with the least possible hassle. Unfortunately, looking at the comments of some of your customers they do not receive the service that was advertised and expected.

Surry - what make and model of car were you picked up in?

In a 777 always try to get those seats at the rear, ut it still feels claustrophobic.

And the correct answer was NO

Big improvement on the Emirates 777s in economy class. The 777s feel claustrophobic in comparison.

A380 first delivery was delayed 20 months. Didn't you brag the Nightmareliner would fly in 2007? Boeing are still having problems, and it still hasn't flown. Boeing are still claiming it will fly this year and yet the wing fix design hasn't been completed or even proven on the static frame. With only 9 1/2 weeks remaining this year it is looking less and less likely.

Yes they did, but they overcame that problem.

Think the same can be said for most Europeans engineers. And if you consider that Fords global motorsport involvement actually is the European operation, then it sort of puts the American achievements on the global stage into perspective.......

Fedex is the only A380 customer to have actually canceled the A380, with other customers opting to defer delivery instead of canceling. It is only the A380F that has suffered cancelations, and 7 A380F were changed to the Passenger variant. Airbus has a net orders this year of 123 (up to end of September) compared to Boeings net figure of 74 (up to 20th October). Incidentally Citroen have won the World Rally Championship Manufacturers title 5 times, so they can't be that bad of a manufacturer...... Ford have only won that title 3 times.

Cancellations of the Nightmareliner now stand at 83......... That's nearly 10% of the orders that were placed!!!!

Certainly looks like they've sunk some money into the place..... Will have to check the place outnext time I'm in town....

How about a combination of both a wired and a wireless network. Are you a Network Comms Engineer or a retired Postman? Patch cables are more likely to fail than the wall box.

Happy Burpday Bushcraft....... Sorry I'm not in town for your party.

And there are more cancellations to come.......... it really is becoming a Nightmareliner!

I wonder if Boeing employees are also starting to call it the Nightmareliner

Beginning of July did the DXB-BKK sector on the A380. Was well impressed. It doesn't feel as claustrophobic as the Emirates 777s. Hope you enjoy your flight. Watch out for the Boeing fanboys on here that slag it off at every opportunity.

Congrats on the sale Adam.

Hope it was a good party Adam.... shame I couldn't be there, but am otherwise occupied...

Was driving a hire car towards Sukhothai and got stopped at a road block. Was asked for my "drivers ID" so showed them my UK Photocard Driving License which they were more than happy with and allowed to continue my journey. Did have an IDP with me, but it was about a week out of date. Think they were trying to catch drink drivers as it was a Buddha holiday. Couple of hours earlier had been chatting with one of the other halfs uncles, who was more than just a little bit pissed at 08:00.... he is a copper!!!

A380 deliveries getting postponed isn't as bad as getting cancelled..... What's Borings net orders for 2009? Is it +1 still???
