I can never understand why in the UK and other citys around the world that they can land aircraft in fog - yet here a bit of haze causes delays. with the GPS systems and clever planes they can travel point to point without any help, and there are aircraft flying (in the UK) that can take off and land without a pilot,
still its winter 15c today down to 4c overnight. I get grumpy in winter, I should be on a beach in Bali or Puket, still no more breaks till christmas
enjoy your summer - Im english this summer as its not looking good for the cricket LOL
Excuse me, all our planes have pilots, its just that the odd one is out at the back with a Stewardess.
tcme What you have just said about planes in Australia not being able to do things which everywhere else cause no problem, is exactly the same as we say about what happens when we get snow in England

Morning All,
It's a nice enough day, just got back from the jewellery quarter where we got the wife's wedding ring repaired, she had to have it cut off when she had her iperation the other week. She managed to get the rest of them off but the wedding ring wouldn't budge.
I didn't mind the £40 for the repair, but the other £360 she spent on a new nick nack was pushing it a bit.

Well that's what happens when you deprive your wife.
