Re: Nightmareliner Fire Closes LHR
Word is it was a water boiler that was left on that boiled dry and caught alight and the cut out didn't work. If that is true then Boeing must be sighing with relief!! as will its' customers!! But the question must be why did the cut-out not operate? Nigel. Not the first time it's happened - http:/...

Re: She deserves better than this
It's uncannily like the end of the original Queen Elizabeth, being towed to Hong Kong for a refit and then suffering a suspicious fire. It sank in the harbour where it rusted away and the owners walked away with an insurance payout. Would the same plan work twice? :doh: Ian ;) Just in time for the ...

Re: She deserves better than this
It'll be like that Ex-Soviet Aircraft Carrier than the Chinese bought to be a floating hotel and casino, that suddenly got refitted and became China's first Aircraft Carrier.
It'll become the SS Mao and take Chinese millionaires around the Eastern Pacific.

Beer adverts do seem to be of a better class of writer, I like the Bombardier ones with Rik Mayall as well. - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QQBAH_rfWLM

Re: Windows 8.1

Re: Windows 8.1
I don't like Windows 8 let alone 8.1, so I'll be sticking with 7. Whoever designed it must either be colour blind or mad. Live Tiles is a confused mess (below) the MS tiles are horrible solid colours with white icons on them, but the non-MS items are full colour. It's a user friendly nightmare. And ...
