Whitey Grandad

One day we'll be able to afford two rails.

I don't know the details but is a match at Anfield involved? They can't have both at home on the same day.

I'd do the job for a modest salary and a weekly supply of freshly-washed virgins.

Yes. The draw is tomorrow.

They hadn't paid for them.

Ooh, you're harsh.

No, we need him.

Yes, this. I was there that night too. I was also at another derby there when the police kept us back after the game. An old white-haired man like me in neutral clothing was kept locked up for an hour. When I eventually got out a robocop officer said "We are going to the station". I said "I'm not" so he said "Off you got then good luck!". Nobody took any notice of an old man like me but there had obviously been street fights everywhere, and this was without any Saints' fans present. If they'd let me get out with the rest of the main crowd I could have blended in. Keeping all of us behind just made it obvious to the locals who was a Saints and who wasn't.

Me too. I have a soft spot for them.

I see your team are doing rather well at the moment...

Who knows? It's entirely possible and if it was US military then they're hardly going to confirm or deny it. The 737-600 only has a maximum range of 3225 miles though, that might be enough to get there from Iraq.

I'm sure they saw something but it wasn't MH370 unless it had landed and refuelled and it was flying in completely the wrong direction.

They said it had a red stripe. Aren't these KC135s? They're serviced at Mildenhall.

I love to see him play. He floats over the ground and glides past challenges. The only problem is that the style of play has to have a slight adjustment to accommodate him.

...or nip down the dockyard for a quick shufti.

We've been to the Maldives a couple of times. The first time we landed straight in on a northerly approach but on the second we flew quite a way to the south and then turned left and flew low over the islands and landed on the northbound approach. The path was very similar to that shown.

Yes, the RAF go at 50ft, which is not a problem since the highest land is 2.4 metres above sea level, but which radar was avoided? I doubt there's much in the way of radar coverage away from Malé. Wasn't the reported sighting in one of the southern islands? The whole country covers 35,000 square miles.

If it was MH370 then it would have had to have landed and refuelled in the meantime and there's no way you could hide a commercial jet from radar, but the Maldives cover a very large area so radar coverage is limited.

I don't think that's the point. If they say there's nothing in it then there's not much more you can do. I'm sure you're right.

I think they asked the Maldives government and when they were told that there was nothing in it they respectfully accepted the answer and moved on. Diplomatically they can hardly say that they don't believe them and insist on sending their own investigators in.

Yes indeed, a very smart piece of work. You can hardly blame them for investigating every possible sighting though.

There's 'f*** you money' and then there's 'f*** the lot of you money'.

What about ST holders with no away games so far, can they buy tomorrow?

Ok, thanks.

Perth is the same time as Malaysia and the plane is assumed to have travelled south and quite a bit west, maybe an hour or so earlier. The last partial presumed contact was 08:19 Malaysian time and sunrise in Perth was 06:11 that day so possibly around dawn, maybe just after.
