On a lighter note . . .
Qantas boss Joyce grounds his tongue

The chief executive of Qantas, Alan Joyce, was careful yesterday to ensure there were no translation errors from his presentation of the airline's half year results.
Explaining Qantas's plans to purchase of 10 Fokker 100 aircraft, the Irish-accented Joyce censored another word from his vocabulary.
He declined to pronounce the full name of the aircraft and would only refer to it as the F100.
Another word on Joyce's blacklist is ''third''. It should be an interesting day when Qantas takes delivery of its third Fokker 100.
