You can't beat the old ones. :wink:

But I think it went something along the lines of:

Aussie customs official "Do you have a criminal record?"

Arriving passenger "I didn't know you still needed one". 8)

Yes, that's exactly what I looked to find on the net and couldn't so I posted the Prince Philips one. Thanks LR

Lordo painted himself inexorably into a corner and - unless he was in to sustained ridicule - probably thought he had no way out in here. I don't think your case is the same.

We all get to pay some price for a bit of excessive hubris though. :wink: 8)

I picked up an interesting article from the DT a couple of days ago, on how life as an airline pilot has lost all it's glamour and sucks nowadays. I'll post it (paywalled) later for your inside opinion. :wink:

BBC News showed an airline pilot a few weeks back who had lost his job and was now working at a funeral directors. It brought me to tears :cry: :cry: :cry:

I received a Memo recently stating that a major European airliner has cancelled all their student pilots program, informing the students to look for another profession as there won’t be need for any new pilots in the foreseeable future, and then returned their training money back.

Totally inconsistent.

It will be like saying, if Trump’s horse is in the lead at the Grand National at the 15th hurdle, he wants the race to stop because his horse has “won” already at the moment his horse took the lead. However, Trump has a second horse in the same race but it is in the last place, so he wants all the other horses to stop running and just have his second horse to run alone to finish the race so that both his horses win in the manner he wants the race to run.

Is this cunt twisted or what?

Bigger question remains is, what we’re his voters thinking voting for this cunt when he stated months before the election that he was not going to accept losing the election should it come to that. He hasn’t lost the election yet and he has been a cunt already. How bigger cunt is he going to be should he lose the election officially?


Well, regardless of Trump, who could be history soon, I guess it's going to be war then. :( That would please some I imagine.

Call me a prude.

You're an intelligent man who posts interesting stuff (don't get carried away...................... mostly interesting :lol: ). I really can't understand why you seem to find it necessary to use very crude expletives all the time. :? To me it just diminishes what you have to say. Actually, it's a bit.......................... Trumpish. :lol:

I think Trump does have enough reason to be concerned. I have been looking at the numbers and I am sus, especially with the numbers coming out of Pennsylvania. Trump was 800,000 votes ahead and even the Democrats wrote themselves off, but apparently he could flip the state.

Yes. I think that is definitely worth an investigation and court challenge right there.

Trump is within his rights.

I don't know if it is true or not, or whether there was any foul play, but I certainly can't rule it out. From what I hear, the US Electoral system isn't as secure as what we have in Australia. Not sure about the veracity, but it is alleged that some dead people voted.


It is possible some voters may have died since casting their votes by mail a month or two before the elections.

Paphitis, don’t pay any attention to silly rumors. At the moment the only person who is trying to steal the election is Trump himself. Just look at his actions for god sake in trying to claiming victory prematurely and then trying to stop counting at some states and allowing counting to continue at other states. He is a total embarrassment to the American Democratic system and to the world.

Kikakopoulos, is part of the furniture here… but then again so are many others.

I like the fact that we have all formed a lifelong bond where we can say anything we want without worrying about manners and such!

We can be ourselves and that’s what makes our group special.

And not to mention that CUNT is the forum’s proprietary expletive for those you don’t like.

I think Admin filed a patent for it a few years ago... :?

My predictions for the next 6 months...

* Trump will move to London where he'll be officially diagnosed as MAD and sent to Broadmoor.

* Melania, will break her silence that she's a transgender.

* Trump Tower in Istanbul will collapse and fall on ErdoCunt's head.

Yes.......................... I noticed that early on. 8)

Lordo I think was the best exponent I've seen here. He used to get really upset if you pointed out he couldn't spell his name right - or the same twice. Kant seemed to be every other word. I wonder how he is nowadays. :-|

:? I don’t share your fascination of Lordo… couldn’t understand half of his posts and the rest were just emotional reactions to Kurupet.

If it weren’t for one or two of you bringing him up I would’ve completely forgotten him!

I'm not worried about anything LR. In the end, my predictions were the closest. There was no blue wave and Trump has a lot of support. It is however, a very sad day that someone like Biden is in office. The people of America will suffer.

The airline industry is in a lot of pain today.

Probably a lot of glamour in the old days, with pilots working 2 days a week for a big pay packet. Nowadays, airlines do try a get their money's worth. Pay packets are still very good. depends on how you are making comparisons. First Officer pay in most airlines isn't good at all.

Second Officer at Cathay Pacific is about $50,000 per annum AUD.

But LR, there isn't anything like walking across the tarmac at Sydney or Brisbane or walking down the jet bridge with the crew.

I can only ever do 2 things in life LR. One is fly planes.

If not flying planes, I can only work for myself. I am fortunate enough to have the brains to be able to do this.

I can never work in any public service, office or some other job like that.

I was very much looking forward to my indoctrination into the US system. he system over there consumes you. You are flying 4 day cycles, with 2 to 3 days off in between. 3 to 5 sectors a day. All over the country from LagGuardia to LA and the variety is insane, and extremely automated, and systematic, Dam Chy-na Virus.

I've done a lot of things in my career, including working as a consultant for a firm in Perth. I was on about $1000 a day as a consultant for the resource sector for 6 months writing their manuals. Great money but I got to fly. I dread the day I can't fly no more, I still get used in hat capacity writing FCOMs but I don't like it.

They are trying to shove me into the box (simulator) which is a great endorsement for me, but I don't want to. I can play video games with my son. Spending 4 days a week at Ansett doesn't tickle my fancy and the only lure is more money.
