    :o:D

    I'm sure you have all heard of the great Saudi volcanos and how Hawaii is a net exporter of oil resources. "Hey, don't worry about mud volcanoes because its mud flows that cause tsu.... oil wells, ya, that's the ticket and Nemo.. alot of Nemos." :D:D:D

  2. Hi Guys,

    As a first timer to Thailand in January, what is the acceptable dress for pubs and clubs in Bangers, Phuket etc.....

    Cheers Big Ears!

    A red one with big sexy white boots up to the knees.

    If she has big ears, I'm sorry. Its just that I needed to pursuade her.

  3. You may have done it right after all.

    A wise woman said "women cannot tell the difference between love and hate" Meaning: If you are in her head because she is crazy for you or if you are in her head because she is angry at you, she may confuse the angryness with love.

    Just check out all the chick flicks. It always starts with the women having disdain for some guy. Then... about 2 hours later, they are macking in bed happily ever til the morning.

    1 week. Go back and apologize. Then make it up to her. Someway. Somehow.

    The only wrench in this theory is she likes some other guy. That or she thinks you are a w(sp)anker.

    Cheers. and good luck.

  4. C M S,

    I am starting to think the family is too much drama. More than normal.

    just my opinion.

    Do you want this <deleted> every month or so?

    Your honey is beautiful. Take her away and live happily ever after; but if you participate in family affairs, its obvious there is too much <deleted>.

    Just my opinion. Ignore or blast me if you want.

  5. This just in: Septics know how to run computer program, Lugnuts don't. :o

    An interesting read particularly as the program is developed in France and Boeing is the carrier that is supporting the virtues of this program

    Boeing Gives Sneak Peek at New Digital Assembly Line in 'Virtual Rollout' of 787 Dreamliner

    EVERETT, Wash. (AP) -- A powerful computer system that simulates the assembly of Boeing Co.'s new 787 Dreamliner cut typical costs by about 20 percent and trimmed a full year from production, officials said Wednesday

    Leaders of Boeing's 787 program showed off the digital assembly line in a "virtual rollout" of the airliner, which is scheduled for its first test flight next summer and for delivery to airlines in 2008.

    The fuel-efficient new jet has given Boeing an advantage over troubled European rival Airbus SAS, which just this week formally launched a wide-bodied jet designed to compete with the 787.

    Boeing has 435 firm orders for the new 787, and deliveries are booked until late 2013. Mike Bair, the 787 program chief, said Boeing is surprised demand has stayed so strong.

    "We kind of anticipated that people would start losing interest as the delivery dates get out there to 2013, and 14 and 15," Bair said. "But the activity in the marketplace just continues unabated."

    The digital assembly system, designed by French company Dassault Systemes, allows Boeing engineers and contractors to make sure their products will fit together nearly perfectly before any parts are even shipped to Boeing's assembly plants.

    It has even helped improve worker safety, revealing such details as how far a mechanic would have to stretch to reach a particular bolt.

    Such an advanced computer system is a first for Boeing. The company has done digital design before, but the new assembly mock-ups have prevented thousands of errors in the manufacturing process.

    For example, workers found that some electronic components didn't have enough room to fit in the space they were given during a simulation, allowing engineers to redesign the space well before actual assembly.

    "As a former manufacturing engineer, I couldn't imagine ever doing it the way we used to do it," said Scott Strode, vice president of 787 production. The two-engine 787 will deliver better fuel economy than older four-engine jets in the same size category. As fuel prices rise, the fuel-efficiency sales pitch has grown more persuasive.

    The 787 has been struggling to reach its target weight, and Boeing is pushing to trim extra pounds. The company still expects to have the 787 at its target weight in time for the first delivery.

    Bair said engineers are evaluating individual parts for extra pounds, and continuing to switch some aluminum components to titanium.

    The company has been looking for ways to speed up production starting in 2010, but Bair said it won't be clear precisely how to speed up the pace until workers get experience assembling the planes.

    "We're waiting a little bit until we get some parts under our belts before we make a final decision," he said.

    Also on Wednesday, Boeing announced a name for the converted 747-400 freighters that will ferry large 787 parts from overseas suppliers. The bulky plane will be known as the Dreamlifter. Those Boeing engineers and their catchy product names

    And another thing. Those Euros are still drinking warm beer. tsk tsk!!

  6. As we are all joking.

    One thing I did to a friend was put 2 of those well known gay stickers on the back of his vehicle. I did it for pay back. It worked well; however, it would work better as a payback to idiots.

    I don't know what thais do for the countries universal code for them to identify gays here.

    Maybe have your wife get a license plate that reads " I like bananas". Then you replace his real plate with his new plate.

    Es mucho funny. Los hotos le gustan!!

  7. Singapore Airlines will have the Singapore - Seoul - SFO route with its new cabin design in March 07.

    Luckily, my company allows me to do Business class on that flight.

    Now, I just have to find a way to transfer my United Airline miles to Singapore Airlines so I can upgrade to 1st class. I feel compelled to try it.

    They'd have to pry me from my seat at SFO.

    <adds Thai reference> I wonder if they show Thai movies on the entertainment system.

  8. Singapore Airlines started a new service today with new B777 planes.

    Check out even the economy seats. Those have better amenities now too.

    Looks cramped compared to the A345's economy seats on Singapore;

    eycl_legr.jpg

    Are the A345's new? I don't recall having that amount of space in economy of any airline.

    If planes had that much room, I wouldn't always be comparing economy to business class and weighing the benefits vs. cost on each flight I take.

    I like saving money on flights. I'll use miles to upgrade; but usually, paying business or first class is too excessive.

    I have decided Singapore economy seats are much better than Thai International Airways. i used to fly Thai; but now I prefer Singapore Airlines.

  9. You bunch of no nothing shites. :o I love it

    I just thought this might be Thai related because with each new airplane (either Airbus or Boeing) , we can expect perhaps some added comfort/ better seating arrangements hopefully.

    I hope to try out the Singapore-Hong Kong flight with this new aircraft configuration.

    How is this post Thai related? Will Thai International follow suit? My bet is not because it seemed like they were chasing profit since an announcement a few years back about not making profit.

    How is this post A380 related? It appears the Singapore Airlines "First to Fly A380" was to have these amenities featured; but, now its advertised on the new B777s arrival to Singapore starting today.

    How many of you actually believe that "wiring" is the reason for the delay?

    I watched a Discovery Channel episode on the flutter test. I was beside myself when they showed that the composite body almost came apart during the test. The body actually did come loose from some of its fasteners and moved.

    I was originally excited to fly on the A380 Now, well I just think its a Scarebus. I can do without getting on one of those for the first few years of operation.

    Wiring. yeah, right!!!! It takes you 2 years to get the wiring right? OK!!!

    Have you actually seen French wiring???

    Yes I saw that documentary too, they were testing the aircraft’s maximum window of operation, they were flying in a manor that the plane should never be flown in normal use, a part failed, there was a bang and… the aeroplane did not instantly break up mid air, it landed safely, no one was hurt, they looked at the part that failed, re engineered it, and the plane was flying within a few days.

    Personaly I am looking forward to my first flight on a A380. :D

    [/color] Though the chicken little brigade will always take a sliver of info, blow it all out of porportion and say that it's a flying deathtrap. These are the same panic-stricken people who get killed off in disaster movies. If I don't have to share an aircraft cabin with them, all the better.

    :D:D I love that I am part of the Chicken Little Brigade. Where do I get my shirt? haha. I can barely control my panic anxieties. I think I just peed myself. :o

    I had looked forward to flying the A380. Its just my chicken enthusiasm was a little bit dashed when a wire problem delays delivery of an aircraft by over 1-1/2 years. I'm telling ya boy, sumpin don't add up. :D

    We all know how to white lie don't we. We all do it. If you can't recognize when somebody is giving you a load of something, you might consider yourself to be in the lemming brigade. :D:D

    I am sure the boys at Airbus will put out the best wired aircraft in the world. :D
