Can I have your autograph? – Nermal

The other pages are equally ‘fun’! Did the rounds of the local newspaper world a few years ago, and it is spot on – Nermal

Good idea, they should have to post so many per month or be evicted, just like Big Brother

What – something like 100+ a week, do you mean? Then we’d all be Flood and he’d be slacking!!! – Nermal

I suspect the majority of the women will abandon us blokes so they can have a girly chat/slag us off (delete where applicable), while we get on with the more important stuff – talking about women and planes! 😉

“Are there any women here?”:D – Nermal

Is it possible that England was cheated?

Whether England were cheated or not makes no difference – the authorities won’t restage the whole match and England still lost, whatever.
Going around feeling that the referee was incompetant might make you feel better now (without facing up to the situation) but will just harbour ill feeling against referees in general. It is well known amongst football fans that the referee always favours the opposition anyway – whichever side you play on.
99.9% of the whiners here have nothing concrete to moan about except that England lost. Give it a rest: it is over for another year – Nermal

Yeah? But try not to start each word with capital letters in your exam – Nermal

Nermal gets up, stretches, and arches his back. Time to seek out Ashley with her catnip supply… – Nermal

One thing I noted yesterday, the ShortsBelfast operated in Australia by Heavylift Cargo of Brisbane is in fact registered in Sierra Leone. There’s an interesting one. The same company has recently registered a Boeing 727-51C in Sierra Leone too for Trans-Tasman operations. So the Aussies obviously allow this to happen all right.

Might it be like the ‘flag of convenience’ for dodgy oil tankers and the like?
Certain countries have less stringent regulations than others and are quite happy to (seemingly) accept money for vessels to be registered there and not to examine the documentation too closely; they can then employ third-world crews on a real pitance a day. You then generally hear about them when they have run ashore from either poor navigation or failed engines and gushing their content everywhere, or that they sank without trace and gone unreported for several weeks.
While I am not saying that this is the case with aircraft it does make you think. – Nermal
