    God, i feel so dirty.
    Funny you should mentioned dirt. Anyway I'm bound by an NDA.

    Suffice to say, far east companies.... my god. How they don't go down more often is a testament to the engineering.

      Admit it, you've been caught out again.

      What makes you think that others on here haven't worked in those industries and know enough to detect your crap!
      My invoices. If there were than the handful that do this detective work (we actually know each other) throughout the EU would be out of a job.

        What about being on an airline that doesn't serve alcohol at all? For 6 bloody hours...

            spooter talking crap? Shocked! I'm shocked I tell you!

                Whatever happened to him? Did his Russian bird murder him and bury the evidence?

                  I did the reverse (to Cairo, from Luxor). (One or three beers would have been nice)...

                    I used to get terrified flying in the Middle East when all the Arabs would be yabbering into their mobiles whilst hurtling down the runway.

                    Seems all those fears were unfounded, after all.

                      My son's an air traffic controller. Aging air traffic technology is what you need to worry about.

                      A friend who's a retired 747 pilot always says that take-offs are more dangerous because there's not enough altitude. Landings are much safer because the one thing you can be sure about is coming down!
