There was a plane a few years ago in America that lost a section of it's tail and flew upside down for 15 minutes before eventually crashing and killing all on board. To compound matters, I have heard when the body is stressed like this time goes into slow motion "survival mode" and it would have felt like hours to the victims. Horrendous. 86247[/snapback] Renton, I think you're referring to the plane which crashed over Queens a couple of months after 9/11, which lost its rudder, inverted, stalled and crashed. If you are, then I don't know where you dreamed this 15 minutes thing up, there was a program about it on the Discovery channel the other night and the plane was down within 90 seconds of losing the rudder.... 86258[/snapback] I'm referring to a completely different plane crash a decade before actually. 86261[/snapback] Then it was more than a few years ago....

Car crash isn't gonna get you on the news though, is it? 86256[/snapback] Who gives a shit?

For fuck's sake, I can't believe this is still going! Fact is, while flying may be statistically safer, if you were going to crash a plane and a car and you had to choose which one you had to be in, give me the car any day of the week....

the plane tho has 1, 2 or 3 more engines any of which will kepp you up and of course they also glide pretty well........................... 86097[/snapback] I'd personally rather not test that theory....

Been to Kefalonia as well - most bizarre thing about that place is the arrivals hall is literally a coregated iron shack (or at least it was when I went there in 1991)...

All that was missing was the 'whistling dixie' in the background!

Strange. I've flown direct from Corfu to Newcastle direct in a 757 before. 86025[/snapback] This was in one of the shitty old 737s that Britannia used to use. Probably couldn't wind the elastic band back far enough tbh...

The only time I've had any degree of fear was coming back into Newcastle from Majorca. It was February and fucking freezing - 10 mins from take off the pilot came on and reported it was going to be 'bumpy' as there was freezing fog and that the runway was likely to be like an icerink! We landed from the coast end and every other time I've landed at that end, the plane has slowed down sufficiently to make the first turn off towards the apron - not this time, he fucking motored straight past that and had to make the turn (bloody speedily as well) at the very end of the runway - on top of that, he was all over the place on it!! The only other time I've had to 'think about it' was after the event. Coming back from Corfu we landed at Munich for refuelling and it was only then that the pilot told us that it was a necessity as Corfu is the shortest runway in Europe and that if we'd have had enough fuel on board to take us back to Newcastle, we'd never have taken off and dropped off the end of the runway into the sea!!

I've got a Panasonic 9-pin dot matrix in the cupboard if you want it?

Is that the kind of thing you were after?

Definitely not Skol.... Even more convinced it's you now!

My money's on Mark...

Who said it was someone elses? 78768[/snapback] And you think that makes it any better?

Taking photos of other people's shit?

that's just taken me back to an incident at my infants school. Some dirty bastard had thought it funny when he was having a dump to grab a load of it and smear it on the wall. When the headmaster got word, he got all the lads in the school, lined them up and got them to drop their kegs so he could inspect to find out who had a shitty arse.... Every single one of us was clean so from that he deduced it must have been one of the lasses, but thankfully he stopped his inspection routine... Twat!

There's some brave fuckers in this thread who reckon they have taken a shite at school.... Only once did I dare do that, turned to get the paper and was faced with that vile medicated greaseproof paper bog roll which would scratch glass. After that I avoided having a shit at school whenever possible and if I did have to go, I made damned sure I polluted the staff bogs which, surprise surprise, contained nice soft bog roll. Did get caught on one occasion by one of the teachers who promptly handed out a detention with 'defacating in the staff toilets' declared as the reason. My parents fucking pissed themselves when they read that and refused to agree to it!

When we used to go to school, a group of us used to cut across the local golf course. Anyway one time we were going across the 12th hole and some toffee-nosed wanker came bombing down the fairway in his golf buggy and told us in no uncertain terms exactly what he thought about us cutting across the course that his good money was paying for and that if we didn't 'bugger awf' he'd start driving golf balls in our direction. I was on my way off the course like a good lad until my mate said 'fuck it' and started heading off in the direction of the later holes. Behind the green on the 15th was a wooded area which you could easily blend into without being seen but still give you a good vantage point of the hole. My mate told us to wait in there and he then went across to the green, droped his kegs and coiled a slimey turd into the hole before returning to our vantage point. Cue 15 minutes later when said fat 'toffee-nosed' bastard was putting with his mates on the 15th, it was just fucking poetic that he sank his ball first and, without looking, stuck his hand in the hole to retreive his ball! Fuck, did we run.......

Anyone got any more...?
