    “PC gone mad”? “Big Brother rules”?

    No, what we have seen is market forces in action.

    BSkyB have a large number of subscribers of the female persuasion, and some of these will certainly have been unamused.

    And then there are the sponsors and the advertisers, with images and market share to consider.

    No company willingly risks alienating a portion of it’s income base and most will always act quickly when the behaviour of an employee generates bad publicity.

    Simples.

    It would be nice if you could stay vaguely on-topic, chaps.

    This thread has been whizzing about all over the place, as witnessed by the number of recent deleted postings!

    No more, please.

    If there are any more instances of childish bickering and name-calling, on this thread or on any other, infractions will be handed out to those involved.

    If that results in members being banned from posting, they will have only themselves to blame.

    No more warnings, gentlemen!

    As always, my apologies to the sensible majority.

    Please continue your discussion.

    Regards

    Did I blink and miss something – AirAsia back to learning to fly then I guess rather than making a bid for VA?

    You do know that Air Asia and Etihad are different airlines, don’t you?

    I agree.

    Any episode of ‘missing time’, or unconsciousness, without apparent cause should be referred to a doctor without delay.

    It may very well turn out to be nothing, but why take the risk?

    No more off-topic posts please, chaps, and definitely no more of the India vs Pakistan stuff.

    This thread is about Brazil, for pity’s sake!

    Patience is wearing very thin now.

    Thanks

    I we disagree with a another member’s point of view what are we supposed to do?:confused:

    You’re supposed to state your case, naturally!

    Which can, of course, be done without either side resorting to unpleasantness and/or adverse personal comments.

    Can’t it, chaps?

    Fair point. I should have referred to “F-35 discussion threads” rather than just “F-35 threads”.

    However, we still don’t need any more F-35 discussion threads. We’re just going over the same ground again and again.

    No more off-topic posts please, gentlemen.

    And certainly no more off-topic posts with a nationalistic flavour.

    Please don’t make me start handing infractions out – I’d really rather not.

    Thanks

    This has turned into yet another F-35 thread.

    We do not need any more F-35 threads.

    Either use this as a ‘proper’ news thread, or it will be closed.

    Thanks
