Overheard on holiday

[stoop]

I know Scunner but the principal is the same and we have actually been told that on a Monarch flight that filled up the middle first. I asked why not the back first as it seemed logical if they were only using the front door to board.

Gordon, if you ever fly extra legroom.  I would advise you to take a copy of that diatribe with you.
Then when it gets cold you can wrap it around your knees. 

Back to the thread "H"

Overheard in a shop when we went into Hisaronu.   An elderly lady with her younger family,said Merhaba to the staff as she was leaving the shop.   She turned to her family and said  "Say Merhaba to them, that means Goodbye"

I hate to labour my point (not much) but it is the opposite of the same.

She was obviously as well educated in the Turkish language as you are in English :

From Oxford Dictionaries ; Definition of diatribe in English:
noun

" A forceful and bitter verbal attack against someone or something "

My post was a statement of fact, and not a " diatribe ", but of course you find it difficult to accept anything other than your own ideas......now,

 As I suggested earlier, rest your case, you are not winning, and never will!!

[stoop]

You have much time on your hands Scunner.  

[Scunner]

I'll always find time to say something when you try and turn the laws of physics upside down Stoop

You are correct that filling a plane from the back could conceivably cause greater weight enough to tip the plane backwards. Removing people from the front first will never, ever cause it to tip forward

Jacqui next time you have an extra leg room seat, make sure you put your warm bloomers on, thongs are of no use to a woman of your age.      

[Jacqui Harvey]

Thanks for the advise Des, should Phil also get some long johns.....

..Please-I'm having my breakfast!

If they put this discussion, on the plane, they would have all the hot air they need, : ,
