    Here is the photo on my desktop (it is not my actual desktop because I am in college just now).

    Will Young and “Light my Fire” – the Polish judge on World Idol hit the nail on the head when he told him that if he was a relative of Jim Morrison he would sue Will Young for what he had done to the song.

    Natasha Bedingfield should never have been allowed into a recording studio. The same goes for Coldplay – all their stuff sounds the same, with their horrid whining voices and ultra depressing songs. All rap should be disregarded as music and reclassified as rubbish.

    The Embraer 170 I saw at BHX the other week – in Alitalia colours, with that black nose, it looked like it had a big gaping hole in the front, plus it’s a hideous shape. I prefer the smaller Embraer jets.

    My Mum would go for the Jetstream, she thought the Eastern one we saw at BHX was worse than any Embraer 170.

    Willy Weasel was the one who always got run over in those road safety things for kids. That’s the only famous weasel I know of.

    Thanks for the comments. Next time we fly from and to BHX I hope we get good weather, that is the only thing which spoilt the flight.

    Thank you Grey Area, you have answered something I had wondered about for ages. They never told us that in physics.

    Thanks Wozza. I’ve written other reports, but some are old and I need to search for them, but I’ll post the links if you want to read them.

    We cruised at 24,000 feet, by which time the turbluence had cleared. By this time we were near the south east coast of England.

    Land and cloud.

    Land.

    I noted the info from the Airshow display: at 24,000 feet the OAT was -25 degrees C, ground speed was 387 miles per hour.

    When the chocolates were handed out, I noticed the wrappers were different, and I chose a pink wrapper.

    We approached Birmingham directly over Luton.

    A turbulent descent throught his hideous, thick cloud!

    We approached BHX but had to wait to land because the airport was busy.

    Hideous weather on approach, and a rainbow.

    We landed at 15:44, a minute early, in BHX. Shortly after we saw a Eurowings CRJ take off. The hideous Alitalia Embraer 170 had also just arrived.

    Touchdown in BHX.

    The hideous Embraer 170. The tails on the left belong to a Jetstream of Eastern and a BAe 146 of British Airways.

    http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y11/VC10/sn2043/eastern_bhx.jpg

    Eastern and BA at Eurohub – our A319 was the largest aircraft in that section of the airport normally occupied by smaller aircraft. Note the hideous black clouds!

    A good flight, bit turbulent, crew pleasant but could have been better regarding magazine had out.

    And I have it all again in November!
