Overnight to the UK we had a couple bringing the most stinking curry on to the plane which stank for hours :mad: and so couldn't sleep they of course had no problem :rolleyes:

*nods* Maybe some folks don't find it revolting, but we obviously do.

we were on a flight to katmandu a few years back - touched down briefly in bangkok on the way, and this tribesman type came on, settled down next to us and took off his shoes. I have never smelt anything so rank in my entire life (and I used to go interrailing with a mate who had such evil smelling l socks that we could hang at the door of the compartment and guarantee the place to ourselves). Wife wanted me to tell him to move, but I'm more culturally tolerant, so we had a bit of a barney, and ended up smearing tiger balm round our nostrils to mask the smell. try it sometime. It stings like buggery!! :D

Ps - burgers don't belong on buses, taxis, trains (unless its the last one out of Liverpool St after a skinful!) or any other enclosed public place.....

I can't believe that they were allowed to bring it onto the flight in the first place!

That's just what I was thinking. Last time I flew I was reprimanded for using nail polish. :eek:

Undoubtedly the same person then has to go to her fitness center and work out on a treadmill.

British midland for you! :rolleyes: Saying that they were the nicest crew I flew with so maybe that's how the stupid curry people got away with it!
