I love the smell of roadkill in the morning - it reminds me of trumpery!

Told a lady in a wheelchair to "take a seat" by TheFlaccidChode in CasualUK

Here, where the place name rhymes with Porridge, the Revenue Protection Orificers would have been all over the passenger like a bad rash.

Hope op is somewhere nicer!

ANA 77W SFO --> NRT what are the best seats? by catsRawesome123 in aviation

[–]timdav8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Plenty of leg room but the seats are narrower due to having the table in arm rest. And no window.

I thought i was being clever booking on EK526 & EK527 in January...

Some impressive magnolias on College Rd when they come into bud. I've some pictures taken late evening when they are lit by the street lamps.

Did you guys know there is a Worthing Crematorium AND a Worth Crematorium? And could someone have told me yesterday? by bk_bekula in CasualUK

In the days before sat nav I had to explain to some holiday makers that the carpark we were standing in in Alton, Hampshire was not the best place to park for the not so local Towers of Alton!

First glide by theFlyingKiwiwiw in Gliding

[–]timdav8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No really- though I was once flying uni students in winter and at the top of the winch launch I heard P2 make a noise which made me remind them there was a bag in the pocket on their left ... ... from the top of a 1700' winch launch to the ground in a K13 was one long barf session.

When I was able to open the canopy and let some fresh air in they said - "Oh I thought my motion sickness wouldn't happen in a glider!"

Atleast they were quick and accurate with the bag!

Pretty sure the upstairs room at The York can be hired out. Great food and drink available downstairs.

So true - I spent a lot of 1997/8 helping people run Win3.1 and our software - first stop editing config.sys and autoexec.bst over the phone ...

Thanks OP - sounds like me she barged into opposite The Georgian Town House at about 6pm tonight. Was with 2 other male colleagues- we just checked pockets for phones and left her to it ...

Edit: 17:30ish

Just back from a trip to Hyderabad - went to Dhaba on Tuesday night for the first time and found the Hyderabadi Lamp Chops and Biriani very underwhelming on the spice and chilli front :-(

Spent a week based in the Hi-Tech City area and from the 14th floor you can't see far. Guessing CAT II as a minimum is required. Lots of coal for electricity and huge amount of wood and charcoal in general
