don't believe so, which i tried to cover with "no mobile signal in area where plane diverted through". I think mobile comms go via land-based transmitters which don't reach the height that airliners cruise at.

blue bin today for me.

Don't know, but possible reasons ?: - mobile phones were all switched off as requested at commencement of flights. - all mobile phones stopped working for some reason (ie. plane crash or explosion). - no mobile signal in area where plane diverted through. - mobile phones were taken by hijackers.

HMB - Langkawi emergency landing / flight path does seem a reasonable theory.

There was a last verbal comms with Malaysian air control, plus there was a seperate event when the signal that beeps location (or some kind of technical comms handshake) was switched-off. After these events had occurred, there seems to have been an extended period of several hours when the plane's existence (and very broad location), believed to have been during flight, was recorded by satellites.

Intrigued at this story of the Malaysian airlines plane gone missing. I have no answer that covers all the facts being reported (comms switched off, change of direction, satellites tracking the plane for hours after last verbal comms). Only thing I could come up with was some kind of fast depressurisation which rendered pilots unconscious and plane flew until it dropped, but that doesn't cover the comms switch-off. Quite a story.

What about ear plugs like you wear at a gig ?

Make next door pay for the fence using the protocol of nice side faces their neighbour.

Oh I don't know why, it's just what they said - that they'd keep a lookout in the locality for that car.

It was a woman and as she set to drive off I said we need to exchange details but she said F off, I said are you insured she said mind your own business. Police have issued a 'watch' notice for the registration plate.

Jes I was (trying to) being humorous ! Yes it's an arse - this person was aggressive, rude, cussed me up and down, yet caused the scrape.

Thanks PT I followed Jeremy's link and it gave me what I was after. Failing to stop offence committed and now culprit being sought.

Thanks Jes. In future can I just PM you directly for this help, it'll be so much quicker.

Just had someone smack into my car while passing on busy street and they wouldn't exchange details (both cars scratched-up). All they could say was "it's cos I'm black". Couldnt invent this sh1t.

"was this thread started by Louisa a) to reel people in/cause outrage b) because she was genuinely outraged c) combo of both? " ...therefore option a(i) The duplicity is disappointing and devalues legitimacy of 'views' on other threads by some degree. Does that constitute what is called 'Troll' ?

Been working outside for a week - today seemed the same as previous days to me. Tomorrow will be just the samez

not me i don't waste owt, takes a bit of thinking about.

I had a few kilos of grass left over steveo but unfortunately i just threw it on the compost heap and the dog shat on it.

generally what I do is park my car where the space will be needed then move it when the delivery or whatever it is actually arrives. That way I'm impacting no-one else until absolutely necessary. I had a ton of gravel delivered last week, they could say which day it would come but not what time, so I made sure a day or two before that I had secured the place in front of my house - the same when I had a load of grass delivered.

wow dude lay off the moron stuff it makes you come across real silly. I overslept. Again.

My Mum worked in a wallpaper factory which had a canteen that sold all the Corona soft drinks, they poured the drinks from those big bottles with the long cone-shaped necks with little bumps on. Outside the the back of the canteen they stacked dozens and dozens of crates for exchange with the delivery lorry each week. On a Saturday, when the crate stack was enormous, I'd sneak round with my mates each of us taking a duffel bag. We'd stuff 4 or 5 bottles in our bag and then a couple we'd hold under our jumpers. We'd choose a different grocers/newsagents each so they'd not suspect anything was up, then cash-in big stylee, spending it all on (obviously) sweets. After like 2 years the factory canteen finally cottoned-on and built a massive steel cage to store the empties in. Bastads. They empty Corona bottles were, of course, effectively currency !

Pretentious twats

It's clearly a Treeus Smallicus.

It never ceases to amaze me how frequently some posters on EDF throw the 'racist' slur. A real cheap insult, which is as far as I can tell usually unsubstantiated and the result of a lazy conclusion. Well done. Again.

Frisked > not frisked. Regardless if where the people come from.
