You ainât gonna be on a 737 from there to Europe thatâs for sure
I have just done 2 737 flights from Labuan to Kl then on to Manila. On Malaysian airways they are paranoid another one of theres wil go down with the new safety briefing that they have but they only use the older type 737âs tried and tested but with a 30 year flaw somewhere.
Looks like 777

Anyone want to write a play.
As long as the playwright keeps in the authentic smell of piss from the hideous Hobbit toilets.

Have you used any local government toilets? Nearly as bad.

Its 2019 and we should all now be able to use appropriate language in our case recording about other human beings. Iâve seen some shocking old records which appalling language about people but we should be able to say we think someone may not be truthful with out saying what this dwp worker said.

BBC News - Notre-Dame cathedral on fire in Paris
oh dear God
Oh, thatâs not good. I donât have a religious bone in my body, but that is (was?) an awe inspiring building.
I donât know if youâve ever seen American Gods, but its central premise is that Gods exist because we believe in them. Some of the gods in the show are pure old timers from the Norse days, weakened in the present because no-one gives much of a fuck about them.
Even if you ignore Gaimanâs most interesting idea, Iâve always thought of religion as empire of the mind. The historical Catholic Church is a brilliant example of that, calling the shots because although individual kings may have been ordained by God, it was the main authority on what precisely God was up until Henry VIII got fucked off with Catherine of Aragon.
In that empire of the mind context, this action isnât surprising. Kids these days are far more into Harry Potter than they are with Jesus. Lennon infamously said the Beatles were bigger than Jesus. He was right then (football is bigger than Jesus in the empire of the mind stakes) but it was a massively controversial thing to say fifty years ago.
As religious populations dwindle, those that are left get more extreme. That will include folk that bomb abortion clinics, try to pray the gay away, speak in tongues or commit terrorist atrocities, all in the name of God.
It obviously includes a contingency of pissed off Polish priests that are miffed about losing the war for the empire of the mind to a single mum on benefits, banging a book out in an Edinburgh cafe.

I have a couple of racks of ribs in the fridge. We need @Goatboy to tie them all together and find someone to reanimate them should be easy enough to do over the Easter period.

Details, details, details?
How, why, when, whatâs it mean, etc?
Does it come with an honorific?
Do we call you Sir, Sire, Master, cunt, Kev?
How many sucks did you have to cock to get this?
Do you have to wear a Morgan Freeman mask?
Do you have to pay the congestion charge?
Obvs youâll be given a new badge here.

In order of @saintbletch âs questions:
- As not many people live in the City companies who pay business rates get to vote in elections- Iâm a registered voter so eligible to become a Freeman - subject to sucking cock to get nominated by members of a Livery Company. I should be able to drive sheep over London Bridge, subject to wearing wellies. @Llwybr-Cyhoeddus will have the inside track on the best ones for the job
- No honorific. I still answer to OI YOU! or Stop Thief!
- No cocks sucked (though see above) but am having trouble sitting down
- Only if you want me to
- My chauffeur manages that sort of thing obvsâŚ
