Seems like someone on QF32 (ex LHR) couldn't go too long without a cigarette and lit up prior to arriving in Singapore. Hopefully not one of ours...

Do you remember the very first (I think) case of "air rage" prosecuted, young bloke on flight to London from Bangkok in 97.

Got charged with attmted murder of over 200 people?

That was my mate Lee.

renth

What happened to him?

Bernieboy

Prob a flight attendant for Ryanair

Was this him:

Lee Thresher, 29, punched a window of the British Airways' Boeing 747, causing GBP 200 damage on the flight from Heathrow to Bangkok, a court heard today.

Thresher caused the captain to divert to another airport, Uxbridge magistrates heard, after he assaulted two passengers by ripping off their headphones. Thresher, an electrician, admitted drinking three double bourbons and taking a Valium tablet before the attacks.

My air rage is usually restrained to tutting loudly when I find the ciabatta roll is a little too dry.

So, a bit like the crazed chimp in the news today, the tranquilizer had the opposite effect to the desired one.

She should have read the side effects first:

SIDE EFFECTS: Drowsiness or dizziness may occur. If any of these effects persist or worsen, notify your doctor or pharmacist promptly. Tell your doctor immediately if any of these unlikely but serious side effects occur: mental/mood changes, slurred speech, clumsiness, trouble walking, decreased/increased interest in sex. Tell your doctor immediately if any of these highly unlikely but very serious side effects occur: yellowing eyes or skin, signs of infection (e.g., persistent sore throat, fever). A serious allergic reaction to this drug is unlikely, but seek immediate medical attention if it occurs. Symptoms of a serious allergic reaction include: rash, itching, swelling, severe dizziness, trouble breathing. If administered to chimpanzees may cause them to go mental. If you notice other effects not listed above, contact your doctor or pharmacist.

I almost pissed myself laughing at that

Chimp rage. Wouldn't want to be sitting next to a primate on QF32. Would rather chew on a dry ciabatta, thank you very much.

renth

You'd be trying to settle down and watch the movie and your neighbour would be alternating between masturbating and throwing handfuls of his own shit at the hosties.

Ryanair again. Except for the movie, obv.

Mipik

Correct.
And I see that it was in 99 not 97.

Seems like humans are as likely to do that as chimps; here's what one "banker" got up to:


October 20, 1995: On a flight from Buenos Aires to New York, an intoxicated investment banker who had been refused more wine responded by defecating on a food cart…
