No further input from the saline one.

Busy exploring alternative interpretations of the face plant, or just another random sign-up; a few random posts, and off to another place?

I …… Sure he could have been more polite about it (would you like to see my etchings etc) but maybe they had already reached the garrulous and flirty stage, so perhaps his particular request of her wasn’t hugely out of order at that point. And at no point does he claim to be classy. On the other ha...

I wonder what made him leave Pattaya. The law? Or an impending unfavourable collision with it... In the interests of research, only, I've entered a suitably descriptive phrase into google translate, and after a couple of attempts at reverse translation, there is little ambiguity in the intent or th...

With connections to royalty, top MPs, and large swathes of the establishment, were there simply too many people who could possibly be implicated perhaps?

Implicated? Or too much to be lost?

There are a few comments in this thread about how Savile looks weird, creepy. But it was, as I recall, part of his charisma, back in the '70s. How much of that creepiness expressed now is based on what we know now about his activities that came to light? Back many decades ago, a certain type of neat...

That must be very unsettling for a pilot. Layman’s (possibly dumb) question here, what if you emerge through the fog to see runway already under you, how can you tell if there’s still enough runway left for stopping the aircraft? Chad. Not a dumb question at all. We have 3 types of precision approa...

This was our circuits day on G-LSAD, January 2011. Sporty, and fun. 4 of us doing circuits for licence issue when we completed type rating course.

ps. The video isn’t of all 4 of us doing 4 circuits each….

I’m absolutely in favour of zis. I should like to inform the gestapo on myself immediately. As a young teenager, I found it necessary to tidy up my room just to remind myself what colour the carpet was.

Vive la femme!

At least every crew member could walk away from this one. One needed a check out in the hospital, but apart from that they did ok. I think DHL's HR department may beg to differ. I don’t know which company the aircraft belongs to. It’s most likely not a DHL aircraft, but a subcontractor, in full DHL...

After the incident, the victim was so shocked and scared that he got back on his motorbike and escaped from the scene; he didn't want to make a complaint with police about the incident or reveal his identity. [/i] In which case, how did this get into the papers? The reporter and beautiful lady of t...

According to snippets of news and information, they had some hydraulics issues. Left system, which would appear to be backed up by the video, left reverser not deployed. What’s important, though, is that the reverser itself Is not a limitation- they are supplementary to landing performance in normal...

@Freightdog is this some of your handywork?? Cargo plane goes off the runway at San Jose in Costa Rica and splits in two. Nobody hurt. There is a great video on the link below showing the whole thing. https://i.imgur.com/hr0Eujb.jpg https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/world/dhl-cargo-jet-breaks-in-half-...

The stupidity of locals amazes me. Thanks...not.. for the glib, generalised disparaging comment about khmers. You realise don't you that life ain't that easy for locals here and that there's a practical reason behind overloading.. Do you think it's a good idea for an expat forum to disparage khmers...

But they aren’t 2-baggers, either.

They could openly denounce their father’s actions. Maybe they support their father and his actions. Then fair game. Caveat-But within the framework of the relevant laws. Otherwise, some legal means will come about later demonstrating their unfair treatment, and they’ll be winners. The moral high gr...

If they (authorities) can consider freezing and seizure of assets of other oligarchs, then why not? The fact that they are putin’s daughters will only serve to make the message clearer. So long as the same process that is applied to others cases is followed in theirs. They are legitimate targets, an...
