We thought that cutlery tray was a bit gimmicky. Until we used it. Now I thinks it's gold. And you get more room in the bottom tray too.

"Engineers are inspecting the aircraft. There is no evidence at this stage of a problem," he said. Of course not, they were looking at the wrong aircraft! Mind you, many lay persons would not know the difference. Many years ago I was watching a movie with my then girlfriend and there was some...

Maybe medical doctors should carry one of those big framed certificates at all times. :) But how is an FA going to tell the difference between say, a skin specialist and an ED reg? Should nurses carry their "proof of qual"? Would an FA know the difference between an EN and an RN? Paramedics...

Maybe a cross between an acronym, an abbreviation, and a nickname. S Pong Bob

I remember having a Bank book. With the high tech "black light" sig panel.

Watching the news the other night (the weather actually) and the forecast was cloudy for 3 days (don't remember where) but the screen behind the presenter had the word "couldy". Wish I was fast enough to photograph it. Speaking of the news, I hate it when they use the word "bombshell". GAH!

Has anyone come up with the possibility that the sex worker in question may not have been wearing thongs but in actual fact a thong? And yes, I do, even though my mode of dress 99% of the time is cargos and a t-shirt, agree with the dress standards. If we had the attitude "who cares what other...

Why not just go with full harness instead of lap belt and a big wide elastic band from the head rest around your forehead to keep the head back. I think I would still prefer lie flat, lol. Why not horizontal cubicles like Fifth Element? :D :D Stack 'em and rack 'em!

I occasionally get a phone call from an authentic financial institution. Normally if a payment gets missed. Or maybe they are trying to sell me something. Funny thing is they want you to verify your own details. Them - "can you verify your DOB/blah blah blah" Me - "you tell me what it is" Them -...

Re: Tr per - hk - jfk - ewr - yow - lax - los - lax - hk - per I actually found an online version just after I wrote that. :) I remember the arcade version with the huge metal "throttle". Another good one was Missile Command. Had that huge trackball. I have an upright Galaga machine in the...

Having to walk all that way is such a chore. Tomorrow we should have two full sets :) Did anyone realise that the same face side can have different numbers on the back? So a "set" may not be playable as dominos per se

Re: Tr per - hk - jfk - ewr - yow - lax - los - lax - hk - per Uses it for what? Playing Lunar Lander? I'm pretty sure that's what we used it for back in school days.

When I left school I did an apprenticeship with Telecom (yes, not Telstra). The exchanges didn't even have a computer to be seen. It was all electro-mechanical. You dial a 3 and a rotary-stepper relay in the exchange went bang-bang-bang, and so on. We were taught how to adjust the tension on...

My SCUBA cylinder lasts longer at shallow depths. Same principle. Doesn't necessarily mean that the patient will get better use out of it. And don't get me wrong. I am not anti-machinery. I don't stick my ear on a patient's chest instead of reaching for the steth. But I have seen medicos...

The longitudinal seating, as are the two women opposite.

I wonder how many of the total POB were actually part of said mutiny. I really can't see a hundred PAX waving torches and pitchforks. It's like getting called to a brawl involving 200 people. In reality it's maybe 6 fighting, 194 watching. But yeah, 5 hours, that's totally beyond reasonable...

Indeedy. We call it being "machine oriented". And yes, the aviation parallel is so true. Interestingly, if a passenger has a need to carry their own O2, and let's say they are carrying a typical C size cylinder, even at a low flow rate of 2l per minute with prongs, said cylinder wouldn't last a...

My guess is she couldn't be bothered taking a pulse and had to do regular obs. Maybe she suspected a post-op PE? Of course at 30K there's going to be some degree of desaturation, that would have her wondering. They would have confiscated the trauma shears too....

The back scatter machine wont go deep enough anyway. The normal detector sure will though.
