Discuss!!!!

The one next to me right now is an Aussie with that whiney high-pitched accent, playing some kind of game on the internet which is interspersed with "woooow" "ooooh" "I wannanuver coke" ":muuuuuuuuuuuuuuum this computer is bust" and other such squeals!!!


(and please try and keep it fairly light-hearted, I wouldn't REALLY put kids in the hold.......

You could be right there ..... I was wondering if you'd been making calls again

His brother has turned up now, older one is hitting younger one with the mouse telling him that he will "bomb the cr*p out of him if he doesn't go away"

Yes, but they should be kicked out if they talk.

Other people that should be banned include people having loud Skype chats on the internet terminals and anyone wearing airline branded PJs.

Children shouldn't be allowed anywhere, ever. Or until they're 18 and have completed at least 15 years of training on how to behave.

Voted yes but I have nice well behaved kids. Just as many obnoxious adults if not more. Generalisation alert ------- snotty loud mouthed city bods getting company travel perks who drink and shout too much should be shot.

I'm so spoilt cos my sister's three kids are just so well behaved in public that I tend to forget what the other extreme is like!
Agree with the comment about city types - like the one who was on the first leg of the flight ....speaking to the cabin crew like they are dirt. Hope they doctored his meal

God, I hate those people!

They're always the ones who are chatting on the phone after the door closes and have to be told about 10 times to stop...one day I really want to see one get removed!

Had one on a previous flight. He started making calls when we were at the hold for takeoff at Heathrow. Another passenger took the phone off him and the crew took him aside when we were airborne and judging by what he said to the guy next to him they threatened to have him arrested on arrival in Singapore if he caused any more problems

I would.

Children should be sent by ship, in sealed shipping containers. They don’t belong on aircraft, in the same way that goats don’t.

On one Ansett flight years ago they sat me next to a woman with a baby.

They served breakfast, she started breast feeding.

I left my meal untouched, to the sound of “slurp slurp suck”.

The baby then vomited the breast milk back all over my suit. Went down great at my 11am meeting.

The hold is too good. They should be tied to kites and dragged behind.

(Nope - I don’t have kids.)
