British Pilots in Diplomatic Faux Pas
Just cribbed from the Times website:-
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/new...cle3031549.ece
I've heard that on the grapevine that its was the Crown Prince's car and it was left outside the Emirates Palace with the keys in the ignition, hence the p**sed up pilots thought it would be a good idea to take it for a spin.
Beggars belief!

However, and in all seriousness, they can kiss their careers goodbye once they get back.

And were Bertie, Algy and Ginger gay?
I mean why didn't W.E. Johns choose "Mike" "John" and "Pete".....??
I will now refer my enquiry to the "You can tell a person's sexual orientation by the name his parents gave him" committee..........
