Reductions in manning in the RAF led to the inevitable games of musical chairs. Here we see the chairs laid out at RAF Little Snoring in the Marsh for the first round.

Alton Towers's new ride, 'the JPA expenses claim experience' proved remarkably unpopular. Having waited 7 years for the ride to open, it crashed after 2 minutes, and 3 minutes, and 5 minutes, and 6 minutes..............Eventually, people stopped bothering.

"It came as a surprise to the Lead Stacker that replacement requests for MB seats used by Harrier Pilots would lead to a slight overstocking situation."

Whilst ejection may have beaten eviction and it may have done much for the ratings, STV's first idea of a viewer phone-in and pyrotechnic binning scene for "Jet Set" students was deemed a tad excessive.

PS Late edit and apols to AA for missing his very similar approach on the latter offer.

From the RAF Little Snoring Intranet:

"New chairs for the Dental Centre were delivered today, and are seen awaiting installation. The built-in gas supplies are state-of-the-art, and the restraining straps for particularly anxious patients are expected to prove particularly useful".

The new "ideas man" on Big Brother misread the word 'eviction' in his information pack and accidentally came up with the best idea yet!

Gasp's of awe from the trenches, as FO Smythe gives another death defying display again in an attempt to recruit the young men to join the ranks of the daring RFC (You will last more than 20 minutes really).

It would seem upon the response after the JPA Roll Out the CAS was well prepared for the Chief Clerks Conference this year!

After rumours of reduced standards on Ryan Air's flight decks - the new rows of passenger seating - with optional get-out clause - were ready for installation.

Modifications to the Transport aircraft taking a party of MP's to visit the British troops in Basrah are in full swing and should be completed in time for their flight early next week.

Defence cuts appear to be biting, as the RAF unveiled a fleet of 6 of its latest fighters. Seasoned observers noted that the airframes appeared to be little more than wooden pallets.

Thanks to the Bean Counters, the money they saved on ejection seats for the stealth fighter, seems wasted, as the untreated seats give away the aircrafts position.
