From the BBC

"Two "disruptive" passengers were removed from a holiday flight bound for Manchester on Sunday.
The pair were taken off Excel Airways 757, flight XLA2143, at Larnaca Airport, Cyprus.

The flight was delayed and other passengers also had to leave the jet as Cypriot authorities carried out a mandatory baggage and security check.

An Excel Airways spokeswoman said the passengers were taken to a hotel and were due to fly to the UK on Monday.

'Odd behaviour'

"Two men were seen to behave oddly as passengers were boarding the flight - both went into the toilet and banging noises were heard," the spokeswoman said.

"One of the men then ran down the aisle."

The spokeswoman said passengers complained to cabin crew who had the men removed.

The pair were arrested by local police. "


Banging noises from the toilet ? Hmmmmm!

Get your mind out of the gutter!!! :p

[Nickoli]

I broke my leg in the gutter once, going for a pee - I fell of the roof. Ba boom !

Then you should really change your name to "Klutz."

[War Drills]

How does the name Klutz take your mind off the gutter?

[big fraidy cat]

Actually, in New York-ese, a klutz is one who is clumsy ... and falls off the roof while taking a pee!!!!

Was probably walking in his sleep!!

[War Drills]

Aha, now I got it! Actually, what you call "New Yorke-ese" is Yiddish - as in Fiddler On The Roof - 'cause he would also risk falling asleep up there, and then.... Klutz!

Not sure what the brits would call someone like this (and I mean something other than a ******!!). Probably a pratt, or something like that. We'd have to get some input on that from our British friends.

Saw that plane parked at the west end of taxiway A when we landed there yesterday. Wondered about all the luggage on the taxiway. Now I know the reason
