    What? Did he tell you to be offended - or not? Not sure the meaning of this. Indeed. Hell awaits the God haters. But the good news is it doesn't have to be: "God has been pleased by the foolishness of the preaching to save those that believe." Time to stop scoffing and look into this seriously, the consequences are eternal Kasper.

    Another reason to privatise the whole show.

    Heh Avocet, thought you might say something like Enola Gay est magnifique! Petits garçon rochers! Besides these days it would be homophobic to criticize Enola no? BTW welcome Eric! Theodore van Kirk: February 27, 1921 - July 28, 2014

    Reckon some of the old Qantas FA dragons would scare that little bunch right off.

    Haha, you got me. Can't edit either.

    They want more $$. Well don't we all? But not everyone acts like this unless in Kindy. From Canberra times: "Public servants at the Bureau of Meteorology are planning to bring MPs and Senators down to earth by denying weather forecasts to Canberra Airport at times when the politicians are descending on the national capital. The weather men and women will vote on the move, aimed at bringing their pay dispute to the corridors of power, in the coming weeks. Union members at the Bureau are also planning to use their unique position to take their grievances to the nation’s airwaves, reading out messages before they broadcast weather forecasts on local, regional and metropolitan radio stations. The BoM technicians believe they can withhold the weather information from airlines and air traffic control without putting safety or commerce at risk but say they cannot rule out inconvenience for the parliamentarians."

    Welcome and nice video there Andrew! Fast taxi is always fun.... Good to see more WA folk flying also.

    Yep, welcome Peter! Was wondering why I've never noticed light aircraft about in Thailand, must be government regulations? Which is odd because this is the country that is insanely more over-regulated....

    That's good. But as with any government agent always _ALWAYS_ record the entire conversation no matter how pleasant and sweet the banter is. Local Council inspector tried to defraud me some time back, still have recordings of all conversations to his superiors who covered for him. On a similar note I recall chatting to an insurance agent who called in to visit at work. Just general friendly stuff, hows things, been busy etc. Seemed like a real nice guy; was a bit taken back to find out some time later that this is part of their standard investigative practise to suss out if people are perhaps more likely to commit some insurance fraud! Would never have occurred to me, guess I just don't think along those lines. Gnu's are perhaps too nice and er.... trusting.

    Dazza may be just a bit confused. The latest engines are apparently hydrolic i.e. they use water for lubrication.

    Yeah I wonder are the ramp-checkers pilots themselves? Would be odd getting grilled on the highway by a cop who couldn't drive. It would seem reasonable to ask for their ID, CASA credentials and certificate or licence up front.

    On that topic Parkes were recently investigating the potential for alien activity in strange radio signals they occasionally picked up from space, turned out to be from the microwave oven in their kitchen - opening the door before it was finished cooking.

    Nonsensical.... doesn't stop atheists repeatedly trying this line though eh?

    "Turkish Airlines’ CEO wants his pilots to get married. Why? Because they then may not be as prone to destructive behavior like that of the Germanwings pilot believed to have intentionally crashed a flight last month." Maybe I should have posted this on the humour forum? Worried about destructive behavior, could also encourage them not to be Moslem....

    "Bonnie Chadbourne and her husband Clint were on their way home from spending Easter Sunday in Massachusetts. Clint wanted to stretch his legs. Instead, his family got a stretch of their lungs as a hilarious ordeal of Clint getting stuck in his seat belt unfolded."

    US Secret Service too busy snorting drugs and frolicking with prostitutes supplied by drug cartels (not a joke, this happens). Lady in a car comes by the gate? Chase and execute!

    I've flown something like that but with only one passenger. It must ramp up the fun factor a lot to have a few dozen all screaming at once. Without a doubt Asiana are the drift kings.

    For security we also need at least one person in the cargo hold to keep a watch. Or have a nap.

    One thing you will find is that almost all the more recent mass murderers that used guns were hopped up on psychotropic prescription drugs, specifically ADHD medications / CNS stimulants / SSRI's. It is a common thread. Just waiting to hear that the mass-murdering Germanwings pilot was on this sort of stuff also. It appears to remove some peoples empathy.
  21. Gnarly Gnu
    You're probably right! Maybe it was an April 1st thing....

    Fascinating chart of risks. Some surprises...

    This is very true, CPR success is more for soap operas unfortunately, percentages of genuine survival by CPR after the heart stops is struggling to make double digits. A friend of a friend of mine was dead for 1hr and 25 minutes and is very much alive and well (I met him and we had a good talk, very nice man) but that was no ordinary situation and he was not saved by CPR.

    You will enjoy "A History of WW2 in 25 airplanes" (Sorry, off thread topic and all...)
