Maybe they could simplify it to BTNTSB – Before the New Testament Stories Began and therefore AD could be called ‘universe the sequal’. Keeping the pc brigade happy 😀

Is it me or did BA repair the damage very quickly as they announced the following day that it had been repaired and returned to service 😮

In Canada at the moment they are advertising Diamond Shreddies, which is basically the original shreddies turned on its side!

Hi man and welcome.It’s good to know that Mr Firth warrents a tripple TV showing back to back.:)

And to follow that up this saturday there’s a Hugh Grant triple bill, they must love their english actors out here

It’s hard to believe that twenty years have passed already, i remember it well they even had the saturday morning kids show ‘Saturday Superstore’ go live to Zeebrugge which was almost unheard of at the time.

What’s hard to believe though looking back and with help from programmes such as ‘seconds from disaster’ was just how casual the safety culture seemed to be. But i guess it’s taken disasters like this and the Kings Cross fire a year later to increase safety in public transport in the UK. Much like the series of trains crashes in the late 90’s did for the railways.

I’m under the impression also that Zoom Airlines which currently operates froom the UK to Canada and by all accounts overs a very good service is about to launch flights to the Eastern Seaboard of the United States flying from Gatwick, in fact they have already started recruiting cabin crew.

This would act to lower prices at least initially whilst the likes of BA and American try to do what they did to Laker Airways

But i don’t think that opening up Heathrow will make all that much difference it is congested as it is and there just isn’t going to be the slots to allow other operators in.
What i see happening is the alliances such as Star and One World will consolidate their services effectivly operating them under the alliance banner so where as currently United operate for example Chicago to Heathrow and BMI operate Heathrow to Brussels Star Allaince will consolidate the service so it would become Chicago-Heathrow-Brussels using the one aircraft.

This won’t mean cheaper prices just more profits!

I’m in Vancouver for a year, on on of there channels on saturady they had 3 back to back colin firth films.

Fever Pitch, What a Girl Wants and Bridget Jones Diary.

All quite entertaining for a very wet saturday afternoon/evening

What about the possibility of building the third runway at LHR instead of over sipson alongside the M25 as a satellite runway and have a secure rail-link to transfer the passengers from Terminal 5. Creating a win-win Sipson and Harmondsworth remain, BAA gets their extra runway and people driving down the M25 get something to look at whilst stuck in traffic!!
