Now would you ask for another flight if that was strapped to the underside of the wing?

Yeah, not sure if the passengers knew about it. I reckon I would.

Don't really see why.:confused:
They've obviously done the calculations for weight and balance, and figured the extra drag -hence an extra refuelling stop in Perth as it would use more fuel due to the drag. I honestly don't think Qantas pilots would carry it in that way if it wasn't carefully planned and perfectly safe :cool:

Just keep the rudder slightly to the right.

Indeed. I know it is perfectly safe, but only one word springs to mind: paranoia

I can’t deny I have children.“But I’ve moved forward now and I’ve gone back to being a child.“I don’t want to be an adult right now.”Stefonknee now lives with a couple who have taken her on as adoptive parents - and their own children.She says: “Well, I have a mummy and a daddy.“An adopted mummy and daddy who are totally comfortable with me being a little girl.“And their children, and their grandchildren, are totally supportive.” ================================== I'm pretty unshockable, with some unusual situations in my life and being transgender doesn't bother me, but wanting to be six years old? :confused::blink:

I reckon all the preachers of tolerance have just got to suck this one up and support the bloke/little girl. If they don't then clearly they're intolerant. Geezer's a fruitloop, but he put himself in that league by having 7 kids and THEN saying, 'I should've been born a woman' twat.
happy new year everyone :)

Mitchell Pearce dog video: Sydney Roosters captain filmed simulating lewd act, NRL future in doubt

WHY?

No, not why is this prat doing something with a dog, I guess he is retarded in some way.
No, not why is he being disciplined for it, as someone kids look up to he deserves to be chucked off the team/banned/whatever.

But - WHY has the ABC put a distinctly dubious photo of him on their website alongside the story, and the video itself on the main article - with subtitles? I thought the CourierMail sank pretty low at times, but come on ABC, raise your stndards, please!
