At the end of the day, they will poo where they like and will sadly eat wildlife….but please dont shooot them with anything (except perhaps a water pistol). I heard there was a sonic based deterrent?

Which is why some people are grumpy. I have made my thoughts clear in earlier posts about how the problem shoild be dealt with and shooting is not an option. The sonic based deterrents work for a while but eventually the cats get used to them and stand next to the, to us, virtually silent whistle or pulse. Unless you have responsible neighbours you will be stuck ( literrally ), with the poo.

The Convair Pogo flew in 1953/4 didn’t it?

And now for the latest news about that dear old chap,Santa Claus.

Apparently he’s a health hazard.

I met the “real” Santa Claus with my grandson on Saturday. He seemed unaware of the latest requirements and since they only affect one of the many countries he has to vist next week I imagine the advice will remain consigned to the rubbish bin, where it deserves to rest in peace!:confused:

O’Leary really is the aviation executive people love to hate, isn’t he.

I have to admit the title of this thread sent alarm bells off in my head at first. Now the bells a ringing again.:D

Well it did start off as quite an intelligent debate but “someone” started the rot to bring us to where we are now. I think I’ll leave before the moderators find us out.;)

Be a bit crowded.

Not if it was a fat, black, gay person.:D

Cat’s rock… You could be putting up some new shelves in the kitchen, a dog will watch loyally, not having a clue what’s going on, whilst a cat will take one look, think to itself ‘new bed !’ then proceed to take up residence in your armchair for the rest of the evening…:cool:

Is that your take on Jack Dee’s observation, or did he nick it from you….?;) Whichever it is so true.

Unfortunate management ultimately, most of their routes were successful. Some very unlucky business relationships and bad circumstances. I think the press and media have already questioned the relationship between E-Clear and Halycon Investments tonight.

Yes the trans-atlantic fiasco was a shambles but that was already put behind, lessons learned and the airline had in fact returned a modest profitable turnover last year. It’s just a shame that yet another independent UK airline has left a gap in the market for a more aggressive competitor to fill.

Poor, unfortunate, bad. It all really adds up to the same thing. I agree that in business you need a degree of luck but you also need shrewd capable mangement to succeed and I suspect, in this case, as in so many others, the managemnt did not make the right judgements nor anticipate problems looming. At the end people will lose their jobs and passengers will probably lose out, intitially in the short term at least. In the long term we will see which of the posters here have got it right!:(
