With correct health & safety implemented no one should have been able to be in the area where that machine was operating. There should have been 'magic-eyes' etc that stopped the machine if anyone entered the danger zone. If such an accident happened in the UK there's a big chance that one of the bosses would be sent to prison.

When I worked in New Guinea we had a MiL-8 helicopter with a 9 man Russian crew, they were forever at the vodka. It was a 5-ton lift chopper only used for freight (up to 5 tons), so we never flew in it.

There's an old joke that goes: "All you need in the cockpit nowadays is a pilot and a Rottweiler. The pilot to feed the Rottweiler, and the Rottweiler to stop the pilot from touching anything!"☺️

I flew with RB years ao, they don't serve booze but you can drink from your own supply. Qatar, Gulf Air, Emirates, Etihad are all Islamic airlines that serve booze.

'Wait training', waiting a long time to be released.

Some years ago an official from the Nigerian Embassy stated that there were around 1,000 Nigerian nationals in prison in Thailand, the vast majority on drugs charges.

In other words, never marry a Thai lady lawyer!😁

Many years ago when I worked in Algeria one of our security guys had 'dealt with' and unruly passenger, I think on Virgin Atlantic, he was upgraded to business class on the return flight. He was ex-SBS, built like a brick ****house, but a really nice guy.

That would probably have involved dumping $XX,000 worth of fuel. Just a wild guess, but I suspect that the assailant had been drinking heavily before boarding the flight.

To lower class Brits it's the bogs or the Khazi😁

If you were to ask the average 17 or 18 year old they would describe 58 year olds as "like Methuselah!"😁. It's about 'perspective'!

Many years ago I used to fly on the 23:59 flight to Brisbane from Swampy. It was on a Thai B777, and we were bussed out to the plane, which I thought was a bit odd. More understandable if you're on a low-cost airline.

I never fabricated anything. And Yes, I do quite miss living in Thailand.

And they had to pass through immigration to do that.

I've been known to last up to 5 minutes, I'll have you know!😁

In the UK the immigration Dept is employing Indian nationals who are waving other Indians through Heathrow Airport and onto flights to Canada, where they claim asylum.

Sex in a public place. Only lasts 90 seconds. (I expect they were p**sed at the time also!). I'm suspecting that it could be a few of my British compatriots up to their shenanigans again!😆

What's do say that the tax cut will be passed on to the consumer (end user)? Probably be 'absorbed' by the manufacturer or vendor.

Many years ago I think I wandered through some private property in Hua Hin, I only realised after the event, it also was a property that fronted onto the beach. There were no fences or signs so that you could tell, easy to do.

When I used to travel to Cambodia a lot I used to only take $50 & $20 notes with me, never $100. Not sure if they didn't want 100's because it took so many smaller notes to change, or they didn't have sufficient smaller notes to change it, or worries about counterfeits. That's my tip for travellers to Cambodia, never take $100's with you.

I once had my leg-over with the missus at 01:45!😁

Tax reduction to increase profits🤔😊

When they're only killing each other at least it saves the cost of keeping them in prison? And they're obviously no longer selling their poison either.

This guy had no banking apps, no plastic, no cash, no gold....nada. No way whatsoever of getting/having money!🙂

A few years ago I watched a fly-on-the-wall documentary about immigration etc at Sydney Airport. A guy had arrived on a direct flight from Houston (I think) about 17 hours. It was found that he had no money whatsoever on him, and no way of getting any. He didn't even have the A$5 to get into Sydney on the bus. He was put on the return flight to Houston. I thought it was a bit bizarre that someone would do that!
