It could be that Martinair have got an allocation of seats on the First Choice flight…it often happens to save operating two separate flights to the same destination!

I am not convinced of that. Martinair is in stiff competition with ArkeFly, the Dutch brand of the TUI empire. It would surprise me a lot to see TUI handing over business to Martinair, even if it TUI where to make money from it. My best would be that you’ll fly to AMS and then catch a Martinair flight.

Soooo, what did I miss?

Well, Ryanair is always a bit cautious in their pre-anouncements. They say now profits will be smaller then expected, so when they actually announce the profits the markets will react favourably.

Research has led to the discovery of the heaviest element yet known to science. The new element, Governmentium (Gv), has one neutron, 25 assistant neutrons, 88 deputy neutrons, and 198 assistant deputy neutrons, giving it an atomic mass of 312.

These 312 particles are held together by forces called morons, which are surrounded by vast quantities of lepton-like particles called peons. Since Governmentium has no electrons, it is inert; however, it can be detected, because it impedes every action with which it comes into contact.

A minute amount of Governmentium can cause a reaction that would normally take less than a second to take from four days to four years to complete. Governmentium has a normal half-life of 2-6 years; it does not decay, but instead undergoes a reorganization in which a portion of the assistant neutrons and deputy neutrons exchange places.

In fact, Governmentium’s mass will actually increase over time, since each reorganization will cause more morons to become neutrons, forming isodopes. This characteristic of moron promotion leads some scientists to believe that Governmentium is formed whenever morons reach a critical concentration. This hypothetical quantity is referred to as critical morass.

When catalyzed with money, Governmentium becomes Administratium, an element that radiates just as much energy as Governmentium since it has half as many peons but twice as many morons.

LOL!!!

I remember that day! Was ‘mildly moist’ to say the least, nevertheless I really like the last one!

I did warn you in advance though!

Have they had some shortcomings lately?

Two crashes in under half a year. One in Brussels and one in Bogota.

He had more luck as a dragster!!

Considering Scott Kalitta’s deadly crash in a drag race a few weeks ago I would say that remark is a bit inapropriate.

This is been in the media spotlight quite recently, it all seems jolly exciting, but is there a future for it?

I don’t there will, as oil companies are not going to like it, the last thing they want is cars run on water. The industry would simply collapse, Oil has great economical importance to countries, maybe the oil companies will buy the plan’s to stop it from developing further, who know’s?

However, petrol/diesel are a low grade oil derivitives with relatively low margin. It’s their bulk that makes it the highly profitable commodity it is. Far more valuable use of oil is as a component in the chemical and pharmaceutical industry. If cars use less petrol/diesel, the long term supply of oil for more lucrative ventures is (better) guaranteed.
