I meant of the “corrosion issues” 🙂

Sorry 😀

Would you have a link to any of those, I have just had a look and couldn’t find any. I am not disputing you – in case you think I am on the attack – just interested, my own curiosity 😀

A.net is awash with them: http://www.airliners.net/search/photo.search?aircraft_genericsearch=&airlinesearch=American+Airlines|Braniff+(American+Airlines)|Braniff+International+Airways+(American+Airlines)|Transaero+Airlines+(American+Airlines)&countrysearch=&specialsearch=&daterange=&keywords=&range=&sort_order=&page_limit=15&thumbnails=&calccount=18303&truecount=true&engine_version=6.0

Complete with shiny winglets.

Air Canada trialled it also:

I asked a while ago (but noone replied [:dev2:]) about what AA are going to do with regards to their ‘paint scheme’ when they finally get their 787s and the ‘bare metal finish’ will no longer work.

It’s not the £1.50, it’s the total principle.

As for the steak, in no way could the smaller steak be better

It could if the smallness of it meant it was a different cut: for example a fillet! Then the taste sometimes outweighs size. It is a delicate balance though – volume of meat vs flavour.

LoL!!!!

You owe me a flatscreen……..it’s covered in coffee!

Put that down as quote of the week plse mods.

Haha, sorry, the cheques in the post 😉

Would a simple text not have sufficed?

More dialogue than quote, but Sir Sean is on form in this section from The Rock:

John Mason: Are you sure you’re ready for this?
Stanley Goodspeed: I’ll do my best.
John Mason: Your “best”! Losers always whine about their best. Winners go home and **** the prom queen.
Stanley Goodspeed: Carla was the prom queen.
John Mason: Really?
Stanley Goodspeed: [cocks his gun] Yeah.

I dont know why Brits could not follow aussie model.. but down here Woolies is the strongest grocer/super market in the land. In fact government is forcing them to stop expanding so they do not monopolise market.

I think success of Aussie woolies is the decision to focus on Food products.. as their logo here is “the fresh food people”… i mean you can still buy some other crap there like toileteries or hygine products.. but 80% is food.. and great variety of it, from most afordable to very expensive. This way they do not compete with kmart, BigW and Target for other cheap rubbish 🙂

I don’t think your Woolworths is the same outfit as ours. I’ve been to Woolworths in NZ and it is a supermarket, with a large emphasis on food but with a small range of other household products.

The Woolworths here doesn’t sell food like our supermarkets so isn’t competing on the same level. The Woolies here just sells….stuff? I’ve not been in it so long I can hardly remember. I think our Woolies is best described as the NZ Warehouse.

I accidently drove past a Woolworths here and was actually shocked that they were still around. This was a few weeks ago before the current situation of course.

Air NZ plane crashes in France, one dead – reports

PARIS – An Airbus A320 passenger plane crashed off the coast of southern France during a training flight Thursday, killing at least one of seven people on board, French authorities said.

Reuters is reporting that the plane was an Air New Zealand aircraft.

The plane plunged into the Mediterranean sea 20 kilometers east of the French city of Perpignan, near the border with Spain, at around 4.30pm local time (3.30am NZB), according to a communications officer at the headquarters of the government representative in the region.

One body has been recovered at sea, the official said on condition of anonymity in keeping with department policy.

There were seven people on the flight which left from Perpignan airport, said First Officer Sandrine Parro of the Regional Operational Center for Monitoring and Rescue (CROSS) for the Mediterranean.

Five launches, two helicopters and a patrol airplane have been dispatched to the area of the crash, Parro told The Associated Press.

“The fuselage has been located. The rescue operations will determine if there are any survivors,” she added.
