2006 wishlist

Mine is simple...

I wish that VIRGIN BLUE could teach their ground staff english.

"Last and Final" call, does not make sense. Neither does, "VERY FINAL", "FURTHER FINAL",or "Your aircraft is FULLY boarded, and awaiting you".

Call me pedantic, but I cringe every time I hear this.

Either it IS a final call, or it is a LAST call.... not both.
Either the aircraft IS fully boarded, in which case there is no need for the call, or someone is missing.
ther can be NO further final call... is it a FURTHER call ? or a FINAL call ?


your turn

Thumped the mighty 75 into Gatwick the other week.....guess what, when asked I said "Queenslander"
And just yesterday 20kts G30.across.light aeroplane.....told the Pax the truth, Im a kiwi from oorklund... as Id caressed the tarmac with barely a rumble from the old girl.
Having shagged enough ozzie chicks to know the difference, Id say I prefer girls to sheep myself
And all I want is a 6 foot brunette who enjoys fitness, wearing next to nothing, and a non-smoker...oh yeah and preferably a girl
