http://news.yahoo.com/us-regulators-warned-problems-boeing-777s-153156057.html Eek So there WAS an identified issue with 777's

Just seen on Sky News Boeing issued a warning about possible fuselage cracking around the radio antenna. Such cracking could firstly cause a slow decompression / lack of Oxygen which could have taken out the crew (eg Payne Stewart) If plane then lost the antenna there would be no comms and if on autopilot with crew gone it could be up to 3,000 miles. More at 6:30 UK time on special report

Yeah who were this year's cover players. Maybe next year Cropper, Stephens, Turnbull, Reed & McQueen will fill those roles? What is very clear from the interview is that the project means a process which means things happen in certain ways for reasons WITH AN EYE ON THE FUTURE. (Of course equally next year it may be the only way that Maya, SRL, Davis & Boruc get any game time IF we bring in outsiders)

Let us not forget that the ideas started with Georges Prost. Then despite the derision we had another strange part of the Journey to the Magnificent machine that Les now runs so well This did not all happen on the day NC arrived A 2005 article has some similarities to the detail we now see http://www.theguardian.com/football/2005/nov/01/sport.comment And this is not ONLY about us - this from 2012 http://www.mirrorfootball.co.uk/news/Ex-England-rugby-boss-Sir-Clive-Woodward-has-revolutionised-our-training-regime-says-Manchester-United-coach-article783531.html

Mate does the Hypno stuff does not always work - story of a kid down here who simply couldn't get on the plane parents had to go to all sorts of hell to find a way to get him back to UK. One thing that has worked on people is to get them up to do a trial lesson in a Cessna or something on a sunny day where THEY fly the plane, takes a lot of the mystery away

Are you by any chance an Elevator Mechanic? Equally and randomly, were you in Amsterdam last Wednesday after the Chelski CL match? Just wondering? My shoes are due back from the dry cleaners tomorrow and the stitches in my side should be gone in another 3 or 4 days

These youngsters simply have no concept of life. Worried about a loss to Sunderland/ Bull Krap. I still wake at night screaming over the fact that English teams were banned from Europe when we came 2nd in the League..

Did you know? In the second round at Doral Country Club in the US PGA thingy whatever tournament for Donald Trumps' new wig this weekend, 109 golf balls were hit into the water? As I replied to the Journo who posted that Statistic on Twitter. That was nothing. I managed that many in the water in my only round I played there.

Look, I'm sorry. It's all my fault. Obviously I need to start posting more Golf Stories in TMS

As do we all, which is why we all want the Keegan era shirts back for next season

There have been at least two "terrorist" related incidents in China in the past week or so one of the regions wants to succeed hence the crazy knife rampage and something at Tianamen Sq. Reading today that an Al Qaeda group have apologised and blamed faulty training for blowing up innocent kids in Beirut http://7daysindubai.com/militants-apologise-beirut-suicide-blast-women-children-killed/ I'd put a fiver on a related failed hijack or screwed up timing on a bomb more than O would on mechanical/repair failure. But with SE Asia being a basket case waiting to happen, could be anything.

Yay! Finally one of my pals here has started watching Helix. He's up to episode 3 and came in today and asked me WTF? Result
-
I would agree with you in 99.9999% of all cases. And then you get into the world of last price contracts. I still think from the VERY few facts and trends at the moment that the most plausible outcome is connected to the recent problems in China.

Interesting comment on one of my FB pal threads on this. No idea if true or if the poster is in Aviation Maintenance. Apparently reports that this same plane had recently had some maintenance due to a small mishap where it had some damage to a wing. No, I have no source for that, but opens another possibility which would then make the stolen passport theory very odd

Post Match Reaction: Crystal Palace 0-1 SAINTS

Lolz it's easy to read how few people watched the game or only saw a dodgy stream. Last time I saw a football pitch that looked so bad was when I played Pub Football on Municipal pitches about 25 years ago. Sure it had GRASS on it but it looked like it had been cut with a set of those Hair Thinning Scissors the Barbers used to use when we all had hair! The joy of HD is that it was clear to see the mess on the pitch. We lost track of the number of times the ball either bobbled or sped up or simply seemed to stop dead in the grass. One pass from Davis in the 2nd half hit the grass and virtually buried itself. Add in all the strong arm tactics, the sly pushes and nudges (which of course the moron Webb never sees) it REALLY was a bloody good performance. In previous seasons we (like many other teams) would have been knocked out of our stride and frustrated. Yes it wasn't pretty but we did a bloody good hob out there yesterday, no wonder MP & others were very happy with the result. Two questions now Last player to score on his arse outside the box and 2) Is that the 1st time we have won with Webb in charge? -
No. We were the main Studio game yesterday so it was shown on Satellite by BeIN Sports. New decoders are being delivered to clients but will not be finished until the WC in June so full coverage of every game is not expected until next season. The cost of watching has also subsequently doubled.

My favourite conspiracy theory so far is that #globalsfc #russkiesaints engineered the annexation of Crimea because there weren't enough Saints fans in Ukraine #notserious #lotofbeer #40pointparty
