No it's so that they are readily identifiable by the trailer trash Americans that live in those stainless steel trailers ...

Seriously guys , you provide the wine I shall oblige !!
ps. When is the war ? Suppose when Blackwater arrive .


If you can oblige, we could unleash you as a very own WMD. What we can do is force feed you with fasolada and your favourite red plonk, stick a fuse up your butt and light it. On ignition you will become a DUMB and UNGUIDED missile that will strike deep into Turkey. The fallout of all the methane gases will then stun the Turks allowing the CNG and blackwater the opportunity to liberate the occupied areas. :lol: :lol: :lol:

That is provided we get no interferance from the "Americaniko Daktilo" :lol: :lol:

General Paphitis,

I hear that Turkey has a new weapon to deal with your ingenious plan! :shock: They have employed Birkibrisli to create a “Bullshit Artist Shield” all around Turkey thereby rebounding Miltiades’ methane right back at us!!!

I propose a new missile… the Miltiades II which can be easily modified from the original by stuffing plenty Chinese firecrackers up Miltiades' butt to produce enough chaff to soak up Bir’s bollocks… and if that fails just shove another "Americaniko Daktilo" up there! :lol:

Another masterpiece by the Master himself , taken out of a comic book no doubt. You see boy I was right all along about you being a dedicated reader of comics , be careful though Miltiades II has a habit of back..firing so watch out if you are the igniter :lol:
We ARE having a good time aren't we !! :lol:
ps.I dont like Chinese bloody crackers :lol:

Bumpier the take off and landing, more thrills for the male passengers, and more "tips" for the flight attendants. :lol: :lol:

Problems will arise, when the flight attendant is a male. :lol: :lol: :lol:

How about making the planes convertable, so that there is less weight.??

Aloha Airlines tried this idea, but too many passengers complained about the wind messing up their hair, so the plan was shelved.!!

I was reading through the weekend paper and came across this article, which was actually in the "Letters to the Editor"section.
It appears that I was "ahead of the curve" on this one (as usual).!!

This is what I wrote at the opening post of this thread:

Kikapu wrote:I think the airlines should set a price chart of what it costs to get a Kilo of weight from here to there and make a profit at the same time. Then sell their tickets based on the passengers weight, which will need to be weighed once again just before boarding the plane and make the adjustments to the weight used original by the passengers when booking the flight, which may have been months in advance. If one weighs less, then they will be credited for a refund, and if weighing more, then they get charged more. Same will be for the baggage also. One will be charged per kilo for all the weight they bring to the plane....period.!!!


This what was written in the newspaper:

Weighing costs of air travel

Regarding the article: "To save fuel, airlines rethink everything" (June 12): Airlines are scrutinizing their operations, considering every ounce of weight on their planes. For many travellers, every bag that's checked now carries an additional tariff, and if a bag is particularly heavy it will cost the passenger even more.

Yet no one seems to be addressing the elephant in the passengers' cabin. Why should a person who eats sensibly and exercises regularly be slapped with the same fuel surcharge as a passenger of the same height who, for whatever reason, weighs many kilos more? Postal systems price items by weight. So why, when it comes to human cargo, is it fair for the light to be subsidizing the heavy?
http://www.iht.com/articles/2008/06/13/ ... letter.php


This will of course cause an average American to pay 3 times more than an average European to do any air travel at all. :lol: :lol:
