No, I mean exactly what I posted, it's obvious that you've never seen the inside of a submarine.

I have.

Believe it or not.

Believe it.

Which is not really important, anyway.

 

One can travel faster underwater than one can travel over water.

 

I am sure you will agree.

No, I'd be nuts to agree with your claims!

 

This is what I responded to...

"These days, if you wish to go First Class, then maybe best to travel by submarine".

 

Clearly, you do not have any idea of what the inside of a submarine is like!

 

"One can travel faster underwater than one can travel over water".

Really? Can one? 

Which submarines can move faster than even the slowest aircraft?   Is there a supersonic submarine that you're keeping from us?

No. They tell me to shut up.

Or (as seen in Texas) they get strong and yell at the passengers

'you have to do what the cabin crew tells you!'

Why does it bug you that I am speaking the truth?

 

Subs travel faster underwater than they do over water.  This is a simple known fact.

 

They travel more efficiently underwater.

 

Why does this simple fact freak you out?

 

What are you, a naval engineer who missed your prime like Miss Jean Brodie?

Are these the "plebein blossoms" that are "a dime a dozen that you refer to?

My wife will be most offended, she is very proud of her orchids and rightly so, I feel.

NO!

 

Your wife's blossoms are grown with tender and loving care.

 

Your wife's blossoms are PRICELESS to you and to her.

 

Beautiful!

 

Thank you for posting.

 

What camera did you use?

Quite nice photography, too.

I don't think that there has been any truth in your comments on this thread!  Maybe you should clarify what your posts mean!

""One can travel faster underwater than one can travel over water".

Based on your previous posts, that sure sounds as though you were comparing submarine travel to air travel as submarines do not travel over water!

Thai Airways used to give it, to all female passengers. Not sure if they still do.

NOW, can you see the difference?

Once upon a time when one flew Orchid Class with Thai you did, however once it became an average carrier it ceased.

Now they could not afford that extravagance, they request you bring your own food

I suspect he used to fly on Thai Airways. However, they stopped giving me one long before I stopped flying.

Actually they gave it to all. I still have a couple I pressed.

Only modern subs do. The old ones ran on batteries ( unless they were German subs after the snorkel was invented ) and went slower under water, and when the battery went flat they stopped.

Actually, go back to the early days of subs and they only went as fast as the man cranking the handle could manage.

My apologies.

 

I have not boarded an aircraft in very many years.

 

Is it still required that one remove one's shoes before check in? 

Never been asked to remove my shoes, is that really a thing?

 

Hostess give me a glass of Champagne when I board... not some half dead flower thing.

Sorry. 

 

I meant no disrespect. 

 

But, are 13-year-olds allowed on this site? 

[phetphet]

Been flying back and forth to various countries for over forty years including business class. Have never been offered a flower, Orchid or otherwise on any of them.

I would prefer they didn't waste my money on such frivolities. Spend it on serving better quality food.
