    I think BA 777’s are famous for dodgy air conditioning.

    We’re talking the creme de la creme here. I wouldn’t worry too much about their jobs.

    Okay, courtesy of Boeing. The following are deliveries of 747-400:

    1. British Airways (57 deliveries) Engines: RR
    2. SIA (54) Engines: PW
    3. United (44) Engines: PW
    4. JAL (42) Engines: GE
    5. Korean (39) Engines: PW
    6. Lufthansa (31) Engines: GE
    7. Qantas (26) Engines: 22RR, 4GE
    8. ANA (23) Engines: GE
    9. Cathay (22) Engines: RR
    10. Malaysian (21) Engines: 17PW, 4GE

    So, for the top 10 operators:

    Pratt & Whitney – 154 aircraft
    General Electric – 104 aircraft
    Rolls-Royce – 101 aircraft

    Of course, the numbers of aircraft in actual operation may not be the same as this list indicates.

    OK, who operates the most 747s?

    I’d imagine a Japanese carrier. Maybe SIA or perhaps BA?

    I was quite happy with mine until Geforce said he thought it meant I was mentally disabled.

    Why would you want two? You can just set the password to whatever you want.

    Nobody in the A-list.

    I met Joey Dunlop down the pub about 5 years ago. He used to drink at the Manx Arms (the Manxie) in Onchan in the Isle of Man, which also happened to be my local.

    In the same pub (coincidence or what) I met Jan-Aage Fjortoft, the chap who used to play for Middlesbrough (my team). He was chatting up some very attractive young lady, then my friend Tom (who was blotto) moved over and burped at her. Jan-Aage lost his chance and did not look to be in the autograph signing mood as a result.

    I caught the same flight as Chris Woodford (the annoying has been TV chef) once – he lives on the Island as well.

    Finally, my dad was sat next to Nigel Mansell a decade ago on another local flight and got him to autograph a Manx Airlines timetable for me.

    About 3 years ago, I got cut up at traffic lights in Hull be some arrogant b*stard in a Jaguar. It wasn’t two jags, but his equally annoying son.

    They might sound good Hand. But they are policies

    You cannot insert your policital manifesto into the constitution!

    It is not logical, it goes against every principal of democracy. With a constitution, you create a state and you set out the roles and functions of the parts of the state. You insert safeguards, you regulate for instance how laws are made.

    If you insert policies, how can they be challenged under case law? In fact, how will the legal system work under a policy-based constitution?

    This is dictatorship by the back door.
