  1. you're statistically more likely to die at an awards ceremony than midflight
  2. ... unless you're married to a jug-eared Prince of course. 86298[/snapback] Who's that then?? Diana was divorced by the time she croaked! 86367[/snapback] but she was married to him him at some point and in fact it was that marriage that propelled her into the public eye. the apostrophe in my post referred to the missing "w" and "e" and a missing "a" so there
  3. well I gave quite a range trying to point out that it doesn't matter. trying to point out that you could prove that walking your dog is statistically safer at 8.30 rather than 9.00... but at the end of the day if you're gonna go, you're gonna go, so why waste time and miss out on opportunities just because of something as daft as fear?
  4. well yeah Bizza, but it'd be a bit of a spam thread if we posted the safe arrival of every other bloody flight, now wouldn't it? In the US, each year there are about 40,000 deaths per year in automobile accidents vs. about 200 in air transport. if 500-1000 people die of plane crashes then these things are more dangerous... Robert Baker estimated 229 deaths per year from circumcision in the United States. • 12,000 deaths per year due to unnecessary surgery • 7000 deaths per year due to medication errors in hospitals • 20,000 deaths per year due to other errors in hospitals • 80,000 deaths per year due to infections in hospitals • 106,000 deaths per year due to negative effects of drugs 40000 deaths per year from alcohol .. you gonna stop drinking, or going to the hospital?
  5. ... unless you're married to a jug-eared Prince of course. to be absolutely honest I have never given my safety a second thought. I find that it's better to be ignorant to the myriad of problems that could happen and just settle back, listen to music/read a book/watch the world fly by. what the point in worrying what-if? you, as a passenger, can't do anything anyway so sit back and enjoy yourself. At least if you're plummeting to your death you can spen whatever time you've got cursing the string of events that lead you to this end, or ticking off things you're proud of.... that's gotta be soothing.
  6. I think it was when I was 5, but I might have had another internal flight before that. Flew to the Bahamas on a 747, not a fun flight for a mother flying with three kids, but my mam managed it apparently without a hitch. FLying is my favourite form of travel (other than driving myself) can't abide being a passenger on a bus, train or boat. I know the Stakes are higher, but I find it the most hassle free form of transport, I think the alacrity helps, but the whole experience of watching the world fly by beneath you is something I enjoy greatly
  7. Layer Cake the most in-depth review I can be arsed to give about this film is "Meh" It's all I can summon in response to the hour and a half of...Meh I was offered.
  8. UnderWorld Evolution enjoyable switch off higher reasoning cinema. Script and plot are not as bad as I feared, the acting is surprisingly passable. I had no expectations and watched it only to occupy me for a few hours, it was a choice between Underworld or Jim Carey's flick. Kate Beckinsale in tight outfit, or Carey gurning for an hour and a half... not the hardest decision I've ever made and one I'm happy to say hasn't come back to bite me in the ass.
  9. well, gave up because she started invoking womens logic and I just got lost trying to see relevance between her points...ended up just staring at her points if I'm truthful
  10. not eating them, just having one of those stupid fucking arguments with a girl, she's adamant that they're crisps, I reckon corn snacks, what with them being made of corn and all... don't have a packet here to prove her wrong. oh dear, just googled it and they're "potato snacks".... still not crisps though right?
  11. genuine question, are Quavers "crisps" or corn snacks?
  12. to keep dust out of it, to make sure that any condensation runs down and away from the cup and doesn't collect and stagnate in the bottom of the mug and also to keep creepy crawlies and/or fairies having gatherings, picnic or otherwise, in there.
  13. F1 is dull after the first corner. Fact!
  14. well lectures finally resume today, as you can probably guess I'm delighted at the prospect of mind numbingly dull seminars about statistical analysis of psychological research. A two hour math lesson where you don't actually learn by doing, but instead watch as someone else does sums.... imagine Countdown without the razzamatazz. but on the bright side I get to listen to music for hours and hours... walkmans are marvellous contraptions and excite my very soul and will continue to do so until I replace my iPod. I know this is dull and no-body cares but I watched Stealth tonight... it's painfully bad. Derision isn't a strong enough reaction to it to be honest.
  15. Some sort of fucking authority on turnips are we? 82676[/snapback] well, yes I am. I'm on the snowball committee for the Hyde Park area. it's seasonal work, but worth every piece of chewing gum they give you at least I offered an answer instead of cutting remarks, you mean mean boy that's it, I'm never posting here ever again, you're all bastards and are picking on me purely because I'm a snowball officianado!
  16. I'm drunk and quite quite confused., why exactly do I need a pig hat? on the bright side I am not dancing anymore. so tired, so bedtime. straight after this Kojak episode
  17. Is Cuba particularly known for it's drugs cartels like? 80963[/snapback] no, and that's why they're the best ones or it could be that I wasn't paying particular attention... saw a country beginning with C, ending in A and having U and B somewhere in the middle...
  18. it's neccesity, they need to read the instructions in there "How to start a drugs cartel" handbook
  19. sneaky fu.... ok Shirly hows about a little Heathrow Terminals 1,2 and 3 on a tuesday afternoon then?
