    Jokes anyone? -

    Not really a joke but : Hi Keith, As you know I lived in Jersey for four years and part of my job was to transport the potato pickers from Dinard and St. Brieuc to Jersey where they stayed on a seasonal basis and then back again when the season ended. Well, I lived in a farmhouse with three...

    What ever, it is so f------g boring and anybody coming to the forum will be so pissed off. I left for a while because it had all become so tedious and in all honesty it's much worse now. I cannot think of a single word of praise about this and anything else in the paddock. The rest of the...

    UK Threat Level

    ISIS will attack the UK in several different ways with several different groups. Chemical would seem to be one of the most frightening. Please be safe in the cities and keep your eyes wide open. None of these people are nice guys and deserve to be disposed of very quickly.

    Hi Grady, Just a small point - Autorotation is one of the ways of landing a helicopter with little or damaged propulsion and does not apply to fixed wing aeroplanes - which the Airbus A320 clearly was. Both Pilots know the QRH inside out and backwards (the emergency checklist?)and Sully taking...

    The film is technically accurate and filmed without any emotion whatsoever. It is difficult to believe it is not a documentary. His dialogue with his wife is something that he may have a record of, or just a recollection.

    Latest on the big screen.....

    I went to see Sully played by Tom Hanks. How superb was that. It made me rethink about things I took for granted in my previous life in BA. If the same thing happened to me during departure from JFK, we were always packed to the gunnels with 400 pax and carrying about 90 tonnes of jet fuel...

    Diabetes

    I thought I might share something with you all as this could happen to anyone. About two years ago I was admitted to our local hospital with Urosepsis - a condition which was life threatening at the time. During a long and sometimes difficult recovery the nursing staff took my blood sugar and it...

    Pete, Thanks. You will also remember the time in F1 1996 until 2008 (when we had some super dinners in Monaco for which I think I still owe you), 5 years of Wimbledon for the BBC , the opera for five years in Verona, DTM, and even flower farming in SA, on top of flying in BA. It all went in a...

    A Hypothesis: If Trump lost his life pre election date, would HC be victorious or does it become null and void and the whole thing starts again, or does his running mate take over in his place? A reality: I really don't think anyody is enjoying this debacle at all, and all right minded non...

    Apparently your country should expect Al Qaida to commit some sort of attrocity on Tuesday next. The article also said for everyone to be aware and on their guard for anything vaguely suspicious. Look out for anything gentlemen and make sure you don't get involved.

    Confusing news reports here - some saying Trump has a lead in the various polls. Is it true or are the journalists just dreaming it all up? I personally don't give a rats ass who wins , except that the world will turn the corner into a blind abyss after this election ends. To accept the...
