    on a Flight from New York to Dublin , the passengers were startled to hear a message over the Intercom ‘This is the Captain speaking , Due to Technical reasons we have to shut down an engine I regret to Inform you that we will be an hour late arriving at Dublin The Aircraft can fly perfectly well on three engines , I apologies for the Delay …

    half an hour later
    ‘This is the Captain speaking , Due to Technical reasons we have to shut down an engine I regret to Inform you that we will be 2 hours late arriving at Dublin The Aircraft can fly perfectly well on Two engines , I apologies for the Delay …

    an hour later
    ‘This is the Captain speaking , Due to Technical reasons we have to shut down another engine I regret to Inform you that we will be 3 hours late arriving at Dublin The Aircraft can fly perfectly well on one engine , I apologies for the Delay …

    Patrick turns to his old mate Michael ” Bloody Hell Michael , if that last engine packs in , We’ll be up here all bloody night ! “

    I’ve just Discovered the ‘streetview’ in google maps , theres some real oddities
    In it in my Road
    1 The street sign on the wall has been blurred out ???? why !:confused:

    2 All the cars Numberplates except me and my neighbours car have been
    blurred out ?? obviously our’s are not worth cloning , mines an 1982
    Bedfordcf Campervan and next doors an ‘M’ reg Honda oldie thing 😡

    3 my sister now has a very nice ‘Palm tree’ outside her house instead of
    of a Telegraph pole …. what the hell’s that all about :confused:

    It makes wonder what ‘ isn’t’ out there that should be , I know a lot
    of poles have gone back but I didn’t realize they meant Telegraph
    poles :):)

    Its only slightly more Horrifying than the video of the man in the wheelchair stuck to the front of a truck ,
    mind you I’m sure the driver would have smelt something coming through the air vents , though it might not have been burning rubber:D

    I was taking a short cut through Manchester’s UMIST university Complex and came across this street sculpture named ‘Eureka’ I didn’t think that was the most descriptive name for this Artwork more like ‘No more Vindaloo’s for me’

    what would your Title be ? 🙂sculpture street art  UMIST manchester

    Wasn’t there once a Jewellery entrepreneur who had lots of high street shops who commented that his goods were crap and only Idiots would buy them or words to that effect and has since regretted his comments when markets forces took hold ! ……

    If he replied about Gay ,Ethnic,Age , or Religion he would be breaking the law ….perhaps one of our politicians might like to put his/her head over the parapet and forward a law to ban discrimination of Ex-military personnel !

    ‘Allo Allo’ springs to mind as having a couple of RAF types living in the attic , also “The Great escape” an epic tale shown every Christmas
