I don't talk about football

One of the big reasons I went to the Middle East is my football team is rubbish (thanks to the AFL's unfair penaltys) and hopefully in 5 years I'll be able to come back to a good team.

Good to see the A330's don't just give us heartburn and make us choke on our coffee when you look up from the crossword to see your nice 11 NM in trail has become 8NM with a mile a minute closing. I spose its not their fault, one of the pilots explained its cos of the huge wings they have they have real trouble losing altitude cos they glide so well, so they need to start down earlier. Although he also said that if you point out to them you need them to stay high and fast if they are to stay No.1 they can be flown differently to achieve that if the pilot knows his stuff, not ideal for the aircraft but can be done.

Bottle of VB (if only I could get one!!??!!)
