Saw a photo of police arresting a 'suspect' but I hope whoever is behind it is found.

It was a girl, running to raise money for the Sandyhook school shooting victims.

I was wrong, it's a boy. They were saying a girl last night when we went to bed.

Re: boston marathon

Does anyone know of any "people" lists? There's a bunch of us fairly frantic about a mate who went to Boston for the marathon and we can't get in touch with him..... :(

Re: boston marathon

I hope you make contact with him soon. This is just so awful, what kind of people can even think of doing something like this. I too hope it is a yank.

edit: I read the thread, then they mentioned google people finder on the news, so I went back to the computer. But never mind, Bob in first.

As a 'Moderator' you are not here to express opinions! - You are here to 'Moderate' them. Quite honesty, I am getting rather tired of your irrelevant quips! - Do you have better things to do with your time in ATC? Because at the 'Drop of a Hat' Dubai could become (not the most dangerous) but the most 'Inconvenient Airport' to arrive at in The World!

Especially when I arrive after an 8 Hour Flight, with the aeroplane parked in Sharjah, and the Baggage takes Four Hours to be delivered to the Arrivals Terminal! (I can document this)

Not your problem, I know, but it is part of the process! - BE AWARE!

What 'Precisely' do you mean with that response?

Wondering if there were any mitigating circumstances for your
extremely obnoxious(since edited) response to Bob,particularly when he was being helpful.
I guess not...you are just a complete wanker.
Get off this thread and show respect.

Do not forget that we now have Policemen and Policewomen in the UK suing their employers!

Unfortunately the UK has followed the path of 'If there is Blame there is a Claim!'

Perhaps this should become a future Thread?

Re: boston marathon

thanks Bob - v kind of you, but no - he's got a tendency to sofa surf.....

his name didnt come up in the finder... so I'm / we're hoping he's just gone walkabout rather than turn up at the marathon...
