Count me in for 50p.

Sorry Tim, you're right. My mistake, I was posting my coments about the Airbus that crashed yesterday.

OK Tim, if you say so. But just to be clear, I'll break it down into small bits for you: 1. Satellite coverage isn't an issue here, it wasn't lost and everybody knew where it was. 2. There's a strong likelihood that MH370 was deliberately switched off anyway. 3. Upgraded black boxes already exist, called QAR's. They record much more data than the FDR, and are used for maintanance purposes. 4. Many "switched-on" airlines already communicate that data automatically on-line during the flight to home base so that maintenance and spares are ready when they land. 5. The problem would be global standardisation, of equipment both in the air and on the ground. 6. I think the "it's only $10 a flight" is nonsense. And it's another potential source of delay. So, which of the six are "nonsense" Tim?

As I said, it was switched off on MH370, but anyway I'm intrigued. Just how would it have stopped the Airbus yesterday from crashing into a mountain?

Some confused issues on here. Satellite coverage isn't an issue here, it wasn't lost and everybody knew where it was. There's a strong likelihood that MH370 was deliberately switched off anyway. Upgraded black boxes already exist, called QAR's. They record much more data than the FDR, and are used for maintanance purposes. Many "switched-on" airlines already communicate that data automatically on-line during the flight to home base so that maintenance and spares are ready when they land. The problem would be global standardisation, of equipment both in the air and on the ground. I think the "it's only $10 a flight" is nonsense. And it's another potential source of delay. It would be a bit knee-jerk, a bit like making 500 million people a year take their shoes off and put them through X-ray machines because a bloke once got on a plane with a box of matches in his socks.

Same pic. I was in the third year then.

The reality is his contract is up next Tuesday, and it won't be renewed. Either way. My guess is it will suit Clarkson's future plans to create some antagonism between himself and the BBC. He'll milk that for publicity, he's not a fool.

He beat us with experience

Buggeṛ me! Middle of the fourth row '71. So it wasn't just a bad dream after all

Same old same old. None of it is new.

Increasingly since when, Andy. In your experience, like.

The fact that there seems to have been nearly no radio communication in the almost 10 minutes it took to unfold means that either the crew were already "incapacitated" or were totally focussed on fighting against some kind of catastrophic malfunction. ATC would have known almost immediately that they departed their cleared altitude, so would have been requesting details from the crew for several minutes.

Another Barton Perv? All coming out of the woodwork now.

And how is any of that relevant to the OP? (in reply to St Dunko not Sue)

Nope. Not that either. A private landlord is only liable if he has approved or encouraged the anti social behaviour.

You just made most of that up, didn't you

I've been an Overplay subscriber for a couple of years now, the full VPN package. Used with a suitably hacked router it will re-route all your traffic, which is useful for bypassing ISP blocks or geo-locating. The SmartDNS comes as a free bonus, and works well on individual devices when connected to other networks.

Why do you think the landlord is responsible for the behaviour of his tenant(s)?

There's nothing like a run of good results to take your mind off all the trouble in the boardroom.

If I drink as much beer as you did, would that make sense to me?

That's the last time I'm going to volunteer for anything at the Circus.

Especialy when they're dead.
