Misty should go to Nick's then every time he panics in Cyprus and thinks he's left the bath running, an unfortunate message on the answering machine, another casserole in the oven, pin out of he grenade etc Misty can be all reassuring like.

That's good thinking that man :thumbsup:
All us gerls could bunk down at nick's.. You, JOM, fluffy and all the guys could join us for a masooove party, Misty could DJ we could all bring a bottle Miss D would bring plenty voddy , Miss C pinot, get pizza in (quorn for you of course).. We could invite the neighbour's so they can't complain...Tipsy could take photo's (some held back for future blackmail of course redface: ) I'm sure fluffy would have the time of his life... If not we would not hear him Growling due to the music... ;) I am sure Nick would never know.
What do you recon any other ideas...

This is the strangest hotel I have ever stayed in! The decor, murals of Greek & Roman mythology or full length mirrors (very confusing) covering every available area of wall space. Pity that the decorators didn't know when to stop because they stippled doors, furniture, bathroom tiles, toilet cystern and pan; even the poor old pool table didn't escape!
On a more serious note, once you have got your head around the decor, this hotel did not live up to the description or the photos. To start with the swimming pool was not available and, apart from breakfast, the restaurant was closed, neither of which we had been informed of.
The hotel is situated within ten minutes of the harbour and sea front and is close to the archaeological sites and there is a reasonable choice of restaurants and bars within walking distance which is just as well! The breakfast was Ok although the cooked food was uninviting as it had been kept warm for too long.
The building design is a bit of a rabbit warren and I was concerned by the lack of adequate signage for fire exits, something I check out at every hotel I stay at.
Our room was quite spacious with plenty of storage and was clean but it wasn't a double, just twin beds pushed together. There was always plenty of hot water but the bathroom didn't have any obvious extractor unit and each day when we returned the whole room was filled with an overpowering sulphurous smell and we had to open the balcony doors for fresh air. The tiles on the balcony had a layer of encrusted dirt and had not been swept or washed for ages.
The description talks of a garden and although our room overlooked it, I never managed to find any access to it and it appeared to be overgrown. the potted plants around the pool area looked very neglected.
The internet service was 5 euros for 90 minutes so we didn't bother and bar prices were twice those of the local bars so.........
The staff that we had contact with were all very friendly and helpful but the place appeared to be run on a shoe string and was in need of some TLC. It would add greatly to guests comfort if rooms were provided with tea/coffee facilities or even bottled water.
All in all it was rather disappointing and became just somewhere to crash rather than a part of the holiday to be enjoyed.

Indeed. Most accidents have a root cause in stupidity/complacency. I was impressed that they put so much effort into getting the black boxes back to find out
Oh and cracking link Apey :thumbsup:

scared2:
Flight crews have been intensively re-trained now as to how to actually FLY and control things when they go wrong.
Problem is/was that these modern planes just fly themselves....until something goes wrong.
The co-pilot was merely doing a normal human reaction trying to gain height, when in fact that was the worst thing possible.
By the time the actuall captain was summonsed and realised what needed to be done, it was too late (at 2000ft)
They found the black box on the sea bed after 4 years of searching at 12,000 ft down.
That in itself was incredible. eeek:
You watch it too steve?
-
Nah, should ave. Read up on it about a year back
Used to have to sign off critical aircraft part designs as safe to fly. Always been interested in such stories as was useful to be able to show complacent stupid people examples of just how easy it is to kill a lot of people accidentally. You would be amazed how stupid some people are.
"We don't need to test that, it couldn't possibly be wrong"
"if you sign it off now we'll do the tests next week"

heard that one many times.
Absolutely astonishing that it survived for 4 years at a depth of 12,000feet too.
The pressure down there is horrendous, not to mention the impact and corrosive sea water. eeek: eeek:
I felt a bit guilty watching it tbh, as it's a sort of morbid curiosity, but it was absolutely rivetting to see how the story unfolded.
All because of the 'thingy' (forget the name of it now) that points forward just under the cockpit to guage the speed.
It had frozen up during a brief ice storm, but would have cleared within a couple of minutes apparently, and certainly wasn't affecting the performance of the aircraft.

The pressure down there is horrendous, not to mention the impact and corrosive sea water. eeek: eeek:
I felt a bit guilty watching it tbh, as it's a sort of morbid curiosity, but it was absolutely rivetting to see how the story unfolded.
All because of the 'thingy' (forget the name of it now) that points forward just under the cockpit to guage the speed.
It had frozen up during a brief ice storm, but would have cleared within a couple of minutes apparently, and certainly wasn't affecting the performance of the aircraft.

Why not make the whole plane out of the stuff they make the black box out of .....they always survive ..... rubschin:
heard that one many times.
Absolutely astonishing that it survived for 4 years at a depth of 12,000feet too.

That's it, tar! :thumbsup:
Simple but effective.
Funny, I've always wondered what they are whilst doing me 100 point safety check before boarding. rubschin:

Pitot tube should be continually heated...
Part of the pre-flight check when I was flying was to switch it on and check it was hot during the walk-around....

Yep named after Mr Pitot. The jokes he must have had
Anyway my story. Used to work at GEC where they made the Air Data computers that made sense of what the Pitot tube measures. And in 1974 they were all mechanical with little wheels and cogs that whirred around. Real Anna Log ad something quite magic to behold as you put a tube on the input and tried to see how 'high' you could get it to believe it was by sucking on the tube.
Sadly we could never get the girlies to play that game - for training comparison purposes like ;).
