Judging by the way old Sad Sack is telling every body to fck off, it will only be him and his sweetheart left. If he could just get them to listen to him and do as he says.

 I think getting rid of Meyer now would be like that Pilot in Belfast trying to land that plane without his prosthetic arm and using only his one good arm.

A pilot has lost control of a passenger plane after his prosthetic arm became detached during landing.

The Flybe plane was coming into land at Belfast City Airport from Birmingham in the UK.

Dark, gusty conditions and time constraints meant that the pilot had to continue to guide the plane into landing with one hand, without the help of his co-pilot.

After a regular landing, the plane bounced and then hit the tarmac really heavily, resulting in a ‘nightmare landing’ for the crew and 47 passengers aboard, according to the Irish Mirror.


The co-pilot was then able to reduce the speed and bring the aircraft to a halt.

According to a BBC news report, there were no injuries and the plane was not damaged.

The 46-year-old pilot had checked that his  prosthetic arm was attached correctly before coming in to land.

During the manual landing he began the ‘flare’ manoeuvre, which is conducted just before touchdown, when his limb became detached, depriving him control of the aircraft.

In a statement Flybe, said the senior captain, who had more than 8000 hours of flying experience, was a ‘most experienced and trusted pilot’ and the safety of his crew and passengers had not been compromised in any way.

Flybe’s director of flight operations and safety said it was proud to be an equal opportunity employer, and the safety of passengers and crew was paramount.

After an internal investigation, Flybe said safety checks had been implemented to ‘ensure this type of incident could not happen again’.

The pilot was not disciplined after the scare."

Well the pilot is not the only one flying for commercial airlines, apparently. This story opened a can of worms.

The world truly has gone mad.

You cant discriminate against one armed pilots, even if the risk is the passengers' lives. It is a strange world. Still where is Douglas Bader when the world would really appreciate him. Bader with no legs against the Goring's lads , it doesn't get better than that.

Ah but the difference was, he was only going to lose his own life.....not a 747 full of paying passengers !!!!! 
Obviously, he wanted to take a few extras with him, but that was war....and he just unscrewed the tin legs for easy escape.

It is also interesting to point out.....all was not quite as it might have seemed re his amazing story.......more research Mozart  

He was a typical plucky Brit, all the same

You're kidding me Bader wasn't authentic...the mind boggles, can the Dam Busters never have busted dams....and maybe the Bismarck was never sunk. Say it ain't so.

Ah well, dear old Douglas was indeed the crazy man you know and love....and admire. But his exploits were slightly over elaborated; indeed, he has been afforded the acclaim others should have been given. It's worth doing a bit of digging into, books have been written  
But he was a one, wasn't he ? Don't make them like that these days, more's the pity !  

But yes, the Dam's were busted, the Kwai had a Bridge and the Bismarck was sunk....along with the Lusitania. But by golly don't get me started on the damned Titanic film !!!! We'll be here all night !!! :o

Well as long as we aren't messing with my favourite three Brit war fantasies....Reach for the Sky, Dambusters and Sink the Bismarck I'm fine. They are probably about as accurate as Terminator 1, but who cares. Have a nice weekend becs.

So many to choose from, sadly  

Enjoy the Rugby !

There was of course another movie myth that is not often spoken about. That of Gandhi being thrown off the train because he wanted to sit in the "Whites only" part of the train and which started his fight against Apartheid and racial discrimination.................

Ah well......many, many terrible things. Think about U571 !!

Gandhi also disliked the English and wasn't actually celibate.....

I was thinking of the film Job Man for some reason then. Not because it has anomalies, just thought of it. One of my favourite South African films

 Part of our trip from Singapore through to Bangkok last year was a visit to The Bridge over the Kwai where a historian gave us a brief,this was followed by a visit to the Australian war museum as well as look at the ANZAC graveyard across the road. It was difficult stemming the saltwater flowing from my eyes.

 Denny there is a new, quite decent movie out called The Railway Man, about the Thai/Burma railway atrocities in WW2. It stars Colin Firth and Nicole Kidman...you might find it of interest given your feelings.
