  1. There are portable respirators, they have to have them so that they can go along the cabin checking the passengers. However, we're probably getting into a bit too much detail here. Let's wait and see.
  2. The cabin crew also have bottles (20 minutes?) so he would have to outlast them, or have his own extra supply.
  3. How could he survive and not the rest? The crew all had access to the same oxygen as he did.
  4. Er... They haven't dodged tax, they're still paying it.
  5. Aren't you too being selective? Some would like us to go for the cup games as well. I don't think anyone is saying that we shouldn't bother in the League.
  6. I would concede that it's not entirely impossible but extremely unlikely in the dark and I would have thought that it would need to be under control at the time. If manual control the why no contact, unless it was a deliberate act, but why fly all that way and then try to survive. In these circumstances surely others aboard would have been able to evacuate. Perhaps the pros could tell us whether the escape chutes/flotation rafts have EPIRB locators?
  7. In my case I think the concrete would come off worse.
  8. Coral or water, it's much the same at that speed. Edit: One more factor... Was it still dark at the time of the ditching, if that's what happened?
  9. He might be back in training by then but that will probably be a third of the way through the season.
  10. No, the wing digs in and slews the plane to the left. The engines are designed to shear off on impact. At that speed the water is virtually solid. The Hudson landing was nothing short of miraculous.
  11. We need two top-quality forwards to see us through to next year at least. This is business.
  12. No wreckage yet found.
  13. Well, not exactly. One wing caught the water first and then the plane cartwheeled. +
  14. 2000 people at £100 each?
  15. This one was a controlled landing when the plane ran out of fuel.
  16. I might not like it By the time I've watched this lot it'll be Chistmas anyway.
  17. You never stop supporting them. There are several ways you can look at it, saving inheritance tax, hope that they'll look after you in your old age, they'll get it eventually, but I suppose, as mentioned above, it all depends on how and why they need it. If it's for drinking and having a good time then I don't think I'd feel like helping. We have two children and seven grandchildren. There always seems to be a birthday just around the corner.
  18. There are times when I thank God I'm normal.
  19. After recommendations from here and on the advice of my programmatic advisor I have ordered the BluRay box set of Game of Thrones series 1-3. I may be some time.
  20. You can make all the noise you like, most of us can't hear very well anyway.
  21. And what's wrong with old people?
  22. He'll be back for next season's FA Cup run.
