    After that chap fell out of a plane's undercarriage and landed in Clapham, I looked

    into this phenomenon a bit more and it's more common than you think.

    You do wonder at what point during the 10+ hour flight at 38,000ft with very little oxygen and -50 degree temperatures they start to realise that this might not have been a particularly brilliant plan.

    EDIT: Oh, fúck this site's absurd censorship. The site is www.airportwátch.org.uk but obviously without the silly accent thingy.

    It was out of Jomo Kenyatta, wasn't it? So he started quite high... within 10 minutes the aircaft would have been at 20,000 ft and our chap firmly asleep.

    No, I think it was out of a 747.

    But yes, I think it was. Imagine the surprise of finding that on your lawn. Still, better your lawn than your attic or upstairs bedroom, I suppose.

    The chap was wearing jeans and a t-shirt, so he'd clearly planned this meticulously.

    I'm almost tempted to give my patio a little spruce - even though it doesn't really need it.

    Someone's already hosed it down, apparently...

    My old man works maintaining bedsits for a chap (he has 120) and this sort of thing came up quite often. One muslim chap banged his head off the floor and died but it was a few weeks before forensics got at him. So they did their thing and sealed off the room. My old man had to get the room ready for another guest a week after that. Turned out forensics left a heap of his guts just laying on the floor. So you can imagine how much flies and maggots were about the room.... My Da just had to shovel up what was left off him and chuck it in the bin.

    The chap's brother was staying in another one of the bedsits. Colourful family. He got arrested for being in ISIS and sent down. When cleaning out his room it was just filled with pictures of said chap in the ISIS garb holding AK47's
