Rob W 0 Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 (edited) I HAVE worked in tropical rain forests and they are bloody dreadful places - like a bar in the Bigg Market on a Saturday night - hot, steamy, you can't see a bloody thing, the floor is running with .... fluid..... and there are all sorts of communicable diseases all round you............... I was also in a place where there was a few cases of Lasa Fever - quite worrying TBH Edited February 9, 2006 by Rob W Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sammynb 2929 Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 You bastids! On Wednesday I flew to Melbourne for work and all I could think about was this bloody thread. Then to make matters worse we had to land into a 70km/h head wind. I've experienced some shit landings but this one the pilot gets to about 5 metres above the ground then accelerates into the wind, throw the bloody plane at the ground, bounces it around a bit and then throws out all the anchors to stop the thing before the end of the run way! But hey, good thing is you can now switch your mobile on before the plane docks at the gate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
