About ten years ago i had a brief spell working as a security guard (never again!) at a site near home, and my team leader at the time had worked before then as an RAF military policeman being stationed at one point at Port Stanley on the Falkland Islands. During one of our incredibly boring evening shifts he recounted to me how he had been offered a ride in the back of one of the resident Phantoms around the Falklands.. the only proviso being that he had to spend some time learning on how to use the ejection seat and what to do in an emergency. At this point the conversation stopped abruptly.. so i eagerly asked him what it was like to ride in the back of such an incredibly powerful and awe inspiring aeroplane… to which he replied ‘oh i didn’t go, i could’nt be bothered.. and anyway i’m not really into planes’. WHAT??? Total disbelief on my part, as i uttered the words along the lines of you clucking idiot. Oh well it takes all sorts i guess.!:rolleyes:

“Care in the Community” was a big, big mistake.

Why did he only ever get that measly OBE, when others get a Knighthood just for reading the news off an autocue? :confused:

1. People walking along the street concentrating solely on texting, not looking up even when they cross a road and apparently expecting other people to move out of their way because they and their texting are just, like, sooo important innit.

2. Clingfilm.

3. Cold callers. If I needed double glazing I would sodding well go out and find someone to install it, not sit there at home by the phone thinking “Ohh, I wish someone would call out of the blue and offer me double glazing, because I’m too stupid to get it done any other way.”

4. People blatantly tossing rubbish (especially drinks cans) into the gutter, even when there are rubbish bins nearby. Dare to politely suggest they use the bin, and they look at you like you’re some kind of weirdo.

5. People who dial your number in error, then seem to hold you personally responsible for not being who they wanted, hanging up with a disgusted sigh as though you’ve wasted their time, instead of vice versa.

A run-in with the cashier in the works canteen, who gave me a defaced £5 note in my change; had quite a big piece torn off the upper right corner and was missing at least part of the serial number. Eventually changed it, but with a look as if I was being completely and wantonly unreasonable. Was I? :confused:

Kennedy and Elvis are having a same-sex relationship on a Pacific Island Moggy

Rubbish! Everyone knows Kennedy is living on the moon in that B-29 with Marilyn Monroe. And of course that’s why they had to fake the moon landings, cos they’d have found Kennedy and Monroe. Or is it Kennedy and Princess Di? And Yuri Gagarin was really the first man on the moon and was just about to spill the beans when they sabotaged his plane. Jeez, do you people know nothing?

This has always been my favourite airport, would be great if it could expand further!

Ditto. I believe ramp space has always been at a premium at LCY, so would it be feasible to build more ramp area on the “Red Bull” side and conect to the main airport via a causeway/taxiway? I guess that would mean bussing passengers out to the aircraft there though.
