Do you know what...

Postby Fozzer » Thu Oct 10, 2013 6:05 am

..I have only ever flown in a passenger jet aeroplane once in my long lifetime, on a short work-related flight from Birmingham (England) to Glasgow (Scotland), way back in early 1960.
Nowadays, I am firmly convinced that modern Airline Passengers are visitors from another Galaxy, far, far away...>>>

I cannot imagine ever wanting to fly on a Passenger Plane now, with some of these dreadful individuals.

Wilful, Inter-Continental air travel, must be the modern equivalent of self-flagellation in medieval times... :o ...!

If its too far away to travel on my Motor-bike, I think I'll stop at home!... ;) ...!

Yep, the times they are a changin', ain't they?

Back in 1970 I had to go to a town in mid Georgia to see someone. My flight was scheduled to leave at 6pm on a Friday. I had my parents pick me up at the U of Miami, where I was working, at 5pm right when I got off work, drive me to KMIA, which is about 7 miles straight north of the UM, and boarded the plane very quickly. I already had my tickets. The drive, getting to my plane, etc, all that in the space of one hour. Try that today.

In defense of my generation, men like that are rare exceptions to the rule. Normally, air travel is calm, efficient, and fairly quiet.

The idiots like you saw in the video are rare. It's the crying babies you ought to worry about.

The problem, generally is............Air travel and.....alcohol :roll:

Saying that, I do like a drop on a long haul, helps past the time. However I have never danced down the isles, got my kit off or any part of my body out. My wife would give me a smack that makes his partners look like a kind caress....... :lol:

With Bikers, being drunk is not a good idea... :( ....

You, and your two-wheeled steed will fall over, even before you have got it started....
..so you are never going to get back home again!

Two wheels requires a cool head...and an excellent sense of balance!

DUI* Bikers normally travel very short distances: From upright to horizontal!.... :lol: ...!

Paul...and a nice cup of Tea... :D ...!

* Driving Under Influence.

The Airline Reality TV documentaries are enough to put me off air travel....Far too much stress for my sensitive constitution!... :o ...!

Next Tuesday, I'm taking a flight to Hartford CT on Southwest Airlines. It's the first time I've flown on a commercial flight in
11 years! Not having been through the new TSA screeners, and all of the new restrictions they impose it looks to be an adventure... good thing I leave at 0615!

Oh, and I'm going to go 'business casual'... no boarding the plane wearing what look like pajamas, with flip flops and a floppy hat!

Am I doing this right?

I know Paul. My mind were at this:
http://nyhederne.tv2.dk/article.php/id- ... amlet.html

A 17 year old girl was raped at a biker get-together in Denmark. She worked in a small store selling fast food. She need a pee and went into the trees. Two men got her, one hold her and the other raped her. She were found unconsious in the wood with her down clothes off and some in her mouth!

I'm certently not accusing anyone, i just stated that you can find lunitics everywhere!

>I tip my hat on the Bikers United to go into this and help the poor girl. Her scars can never be healed tho<

Sorry for this, but i do get very mad about such things :evil:
