  1. I bele As do the Indians, its partly due to the food they eat, 1. Sulfur compounds: Garlic, onions, ginger and chilies release sulfur, which is absorbed and released through sweat. 2. Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs): Spices like cumin, coriander and turmeric contain VOCs, contributing to body odor. 3. Aldehydes: Found in spices, herbs and chilies, aldehydes are absorbed and exhaled. Physiological Responses 1. Digestion: Indian food's complex spices and fibers stimulate digestive enzymes, releasing gases. 2. Sweat glands: Spicy food activates sweat glands, releasing moisture and trapped compounds. 3. Metabolism: Body processes break down spices, releasing aromatic byproducts...........Farts....😂
  2. Possibly, but when the cabin crew 'tell' you sit down, its for a reason usually.
  3. On take off and landing it is mandatory that everyone is seated and has seat belts secured, for safety, below 10,000ft. On every flight I have been on, the pilot says it is recommended that passengers keep their seat belts fastened, unless they have to move about the cabin, its just plain common sense! Piano bars on commercial airliners are rare due to: Practical Considerations 1. Space constraints: Limited cabin space prioritizes seating and safety equipment. 2. Weight and balance: Heavy pianos affect aircraft balance and fuel efficiency. 3. Noise levels: Piano music conflicts with passenger comfort and communication. 4. Safety regulations: Piano installation would require specialized certification. Historical Exceptions 1. Pan Am's Boeing 707 (1950s-60s): Featured a lounge with a piano. 2. British Airways' Concorde (1976-2003): Had a compact piano. Some 'premium cabins have 'stand up bars', but even they have seat belts. Regulatory Requirements 1. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA): 14 CFR § 25.562 requires seatbelts for all seats. 2. International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO): Annex 8 mandates seatbelts for all passenger seats. Safety Features 1. Retractable seatbelts: Some stand-up bars have retractable seatbelts. 2. Lap belts: Simple seatbelts for standing passengers. 3. Shoulder harnesses: Additional upper-body restraint. 4. Grab bars: For stability during turbulence. 5. Safety nets: Some airlines install safety nets to prevent falls. Airline Implementations 1. Emirates: A380 lounge has retractable seatbelts. 2. Qatar Airways: A380 bar features lap belts. 3. Singapore Airlines: "The Bar" has retractable seatbelts. 4. Etihad Airways: "The Lobby" has lap belts.
  4. On any aircraft it is recommended that you sit in your assigned seat with your seat belt fastened, unless you are going to the toilet etc, this is for safety. You must be aware of several incidents quite recently where aircraft have gone thru severe turbulence and people have been severely injured, even a death occurred! Turbulence can occur very quickly and the pilots do no have time to illuminate the fasten seat belt light
  5. This case has been going on for a long time, it would appear the prosecutors failed to do a good job, or there was insufficient evidence?
  6. Usually you are requested to sit down in your assigned seat for safety reasons, if the Indians refused these 'requests' the Captain should have diverted the flight for safety reasons.
  7. No sense of humor, I see, lighten up!
  8. Whilst yes they are committing an offense, I think a fine would be sufficient, maybe a large fine, rather than deportation. I mean if you deport them for a relatively trivial matter what do you do for a serious crime?
  9. In Singapore both entry and exit is thru electronic gates, been there since covid finished
  10. I was told the exact opposite. I went thru the fastrak and asked an IO and was told its ok to use them. Surely the computer/data base is intelligent to figure it out if your passport/extension of stay etc is ok to go thru, or if not it would be flagged?
  11. Elon Musk is a genius, Ramsay is a cook!
  12. Have they not heard of the Cayman Islands??😂
  13. Quite so, most politicians are, but Starmer just takes the biscuit!
  14. Quite, love the sarcasm, but there is truth in what you say, his restaurants are way over priced for what you get. I am not saying the food is not good, sometimes its just average, you are paying for a name, if he doesn't cook it, why would you pay astronomical prices??
  15. "Excellent they're doing this, great projects to enhance safety, one of their essential tasks." Excellent sarcasm..good one!...
