1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.

Silly, silly, bordering on utterly stupid....


























...yet absolutely brilliant, without resorting mentioning one of the presenters and Michael Parkinson's granddaughter in the same sentence...

Silly stuff as usual, but the lorry-bit went a bit out of control... Those guys are nuts, driving trough a brick wall... funny as ever though...

Anyone notice the really hot blonde girl just behind Clarkson during his interview with Sir Parkinson? MIAUUUW!

on the bandwagon anyone

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/7707641.stm

Top Gear presenter Jeremy Clarkson has prompted more than 500 people to complain to the BBC about a joke he made on Sunday's motoring show.

Clarkson, 48, was taking part in a lorry-driving task, when he joked about lorry drivers killing sex workers.

"Change gear, change gear, check mirror, murder a prostitute, change gear, change gear, murder. That's a lot of effort in a day," he said.

Political correctness getting silly again... The BBC must have their hands full with this and the Jonathan Ross stunt... Perhaps the presentors could be a bit less blunt about things, but in all fairness, every viewer og TG knows Jeremy's style... people should loosen up a bit...  ;)

A lot of difference between JC's dry, cynical humour at the expense of a convicted murderer, and  JR and RB's sick, not particularly funny at all, phone call aimed directly at a 78 year old man.
