I loved it mate, your obviously on a different limbo to me. It's loads better here as they keep lowering the bar & it makes it more difficult to get in:thumbsup:

How about the Federal Republic of Birdy Song?



















It's in your head now, don't deny it....... 'with a little bit of this and a little bit of that and shake your ass......'















My work here is done :sneaky:

If you play nearly anything, other than trance, you should find she's boogieing down to all of it :D

Yes & as of now I think the red light flashing on the top of the radio is really a I.E.D timer & the cat, along with the birdie song in my head, will self destruct sometime real soon:frown::p

We can only hope ...:D

I may try Chad next ... I can just imagine a load of immigrants peeking over a wall with a "Wot No Visa?" speech bubble next to them.

Friend was telling me yesterday about a group of crew working for his ariline - they were on the last night of a 4 night stop in the Middle East when they were stranded. So they've now been there an extra 5 nights, and even though everything is paid by the airline thats still twice as long as they expected. That then throws out the rest of their rosters once they do get back, and then has a knock-on effect on all the other crews. Thats without the logistics of all the planes in the wrong place! Nightmare for the scheduling people.

They'll be starting up their excel spreadsheets as we speak :p

So if A is in B when its supposed to be in C and D is in A when its supposed to be in F how do we get things going again.

Oh look excel figured it all out. Right back to normal.:p
