Not bothered, as long as I have an aisle seat so I can get out to the toilet!:D

I didn’t realise it was so badly damaged:

Well now that I have seen a picture of what the aircraft looks like I can now safely say that I agree it was a major incident, and am glad that all those onboard are safe.

Anyone know of any information relating to the cause of the incident?

And a fairly standard response by the airline itself…

Not much more you can say I dont think?

I find a lot of irony in the fact that Cheryl Cole, being from a manufactured girl-band, is a judge on the programme….:rolleyes:

I heard a rumour yesterday that Danni Minouge was going to be replaced with…Robbie Williams!:eek::mad::(

Must stress that is just a rumor I heard, not fact!?

Sorry if I am not suppose to do this, but I have decided to put up one of those images that is featured in the FlightGlobal link that threedeltamax provided…simply to help make my point. I will remove it if necessary, MODs please advise?

Anyways, just wanted to say that I think with those types of winglets it looks hideous, vile, disgusting and I sincerely hope that they do not adopt them!:mad::(

It just simply looks like a 737 now.

And why has Airbus decided to use a company that is teamed up with their arch-rivals…can’t they find someone else to do it, or perhaps design their own?:mad:

Nice report there Steve. I like the way you set-out your lists of what you saw.:)

I’ve never been to Munich, what’s it like and what is there to do there?

Note to Steve Rowell: “Look Steve…pictures, are you happy?!:D:diablo:”

near that rusty thing they call the angel of the north…and im not talking about Avro Baby :p

Can you actually get up close to the Angel Of The North to take pictures at all?

according to my Vista gadget..its 4 Degrees

That’s bloody tropical for this country!:D:diablo:

I also may be very badly addicted to music and would require rehab in later stage of my life.

Couldn’t agree with you more on this KabirT, I think that Apple should be made to open up a rehab facility to help cure my addiction to downloading stuff from iTunes!:D

As for my taste in music, I like listening to a wide variety of genres including alternative, dance, electronic, new age, pop, rock and a bit of metal (just not the really heavy stuff!)…not a huge fan of garage, hip-hop, RnB, rap (what do you get if you put a ‘c’ in-front of ‘rap’ is my motto!:D:diablo:).

I also love to listen to songs/music featured in TV adverts, don’t know why, but they always seem to be quite catchy and appealing to me, so I end up having to use YouTube to find out what the song is that is used and then download it from iTunes if it is available!
