Now here is a Princely Gentleman after my own heart!
A man with uncommon good sense...>>>

...good for a chuckle any day of the week...

Good-on yer, Phil'...

Prince Philip and I will both be holidaying on Alpha Centauri during the 2012 Olympics
...any more for the trip...?
...we will send you a card...
Paul...

Knowing just how greedy our fellow man can be, it will probably be cheaper to holiday on Alpha Centauri for a fortnight than pay for the congestion charge in 2012, before you have even thought about what sport you want to see. Add to that our rip off prices for a drink and a sandwich, you could probably get full board cheaper on your celestial trip.

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.
