G'day Bruce.
We're using Singapore airlines from Barcelona, Singapore and the same to Canberra.
Sometimes the planners screw up a perfectly good route when they consolidate and exchange landing slots with other airline's.
Nicki would've been quick off the grid alright its a pity they were taken over.


We tried the Irish Farmers airlines, they said with all the PC equality that they were now obliged by the EU to employ blind pilots.
We asked how it worked and they said with all the new aircraft technology of automatic landings and automatic pilots everything went fine, so I asked what about taking off ?
Ah ! they said, we just leave the pilots door open.
Says I, what for ?
They said when he revs her up and heads off down the runway, halfway along he can hear the passengers in the back clicking the rosary beads and praying.
When the passengers start shouting in the back Ah for fecks sake we'll never make it !
He knows then he's very near the end and just pulls back on the stick and up they go !
