It reminds me of the sequence in the first 3D film we ever saw here years ago, when we were taken on a ride into the Grand Canyon.

For me it’s mountains out of molehills, but of course your earlier points about sponsors and advertisers are very relevant.

The problem is that one man’s barbarism is another man’s way of making a living. Wide can only judge things from our perspective, which is not necessarily shared by others. I am not condoning the practice merely trying to add a note of reality to the problem. I am not convinced that having the profile raised by a Western celebrity chef will make a great deal of difference. I hope I am wrong.:(

What made me swear today, getting a b****y speeding ticket for 37 in a 30 limit, on a quiet road going into a 40 limit, and you get the ticket through the post, not as if the t****r stopped me and had a quiet word…….

money making – and yes in this neck of the woods, they even put a camera van on the MOTORWAY to catch speeding traffic – god forbid speeding on a motorway, what next !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Stopping and having a quiet word happened in more civilised times when, with some exceptions, the relationship between police and public was entirely different and the state was not obsessed with squeezing us for every last drop of our cash for minor infringements. But, we all know the limits and we know how the world works in 2011, so there is little point in complaining about it.

I fear that common sense plays little part in the inflated salaries which a variety of individuals, in all walks of life, are paid.

If last year’s efforts with the old camera are anything to go by I can’t wait. 😀 Will your daughter get the old camera?;):)

So honour, or what passes for it, has been satisfied and Mr Gray has been sacked. Big Brother rules.:(

In a case such as this, who actually makes the decision to scramble aircraft to intercept and accompany the airliner to a safe landing?

I repeat my question, slightly amended.
