Now we build great, fat flying pigs :-( Because everyone wants everything cheap. Heathen *******s.

it financially viable, I think. That's really why Concorde took 30 years to start making a profit - the only place it could go supersonic was over the Atlantic.

come over at relatively low altitude making the most fearful racket and it would fill you with national pride - even as Pakistan handed us our arses yet again.

I speak of beauty, b, not the details of travelling. When I am travelling I care not which aircraft I am on, so long as the seat folds flat and the champagne is cold.

That's odd. You wouldn't think they'd be bothered about such frivolities.

What do Allan and Mo say about cricket?

they fail to capitalise on this set piece situation.

Wenger out.

at home because of all the terrorism).

From the early 80s to the mid-90s they were very good and had some great players. Monstrous cheats, of course, but what can you do?

Most of their players used to booze and shag it up over here and then go back to Pakistan and pretend to be good muslim boys. Imran Khan being a prime example.

Something like that, anyway.

Nothing to do with the aeroplane's design, I don't think. The airlines couldn't wait for an excuse to stop flying them because they made a whopping loss on them.

I was thinking I'll be ten years mono-*******ed come April.

Time, as you say, does fly.

Even if BA were willing, BAe and Rolls Royce would have scuppered it.
