Hezbollah problems are Israeli related. Why in the name of Molly, do they have hatred towards, the UK, Greenland, Northpole, Southpole,

do they also HATE eskimos?
You know, you really should start taking your lithium again.

How can you fight terrorism if you do not look at the causes of it?

Precisely. Perhaps if more mad bastards like that tosser took their lithium, then there'd be less terrorism.

We've covered race, religion and politics - maybe we need to spice this up with sex?
Bring on the sprouts. That will liven it up!

If their current strategy for total infidel annihilation is to have one bloke set fire to his trousers on a flight to Detroit it strikes me that they're quite a long way from mission accomplished. Yes I appreciate that we need to keep nuclear weapons out of these people's hands (same goes for certain elected leaders), etc, etc, but for me it kind of puts the overall threat in perspective.

I now have to be at Brum airport 4 hours before my flight back, rather than 2. I hope the underpants bomber is getting a particularly thorough rogering by Bubba and his pork sword at this moment in time

We flew back from LHR yesterday with Continental.

Flight was at 11.40 am, but we arrived at 9 am after dropping the hire-car off first.

Having checked in the night before, the bag-drop was a doddle. Security was fine - didn't even need to take shoes off, but they were insisting on liquids in a clear bag (which had been relaxed of late). They didn't bat an eyelid at the travel sized toothpaste which was in my flight-bag which I missed.

Got to the gate an hour before take off which was a good call. The line was huge, although we were lucky with Elite access and our line was short. Full bag check (everything removed and looked at), and body searches. Women for the women (only 2 working compared to 6 for the men). My H was thoroughly searched including hands running round the inside of his underwear round the band (which he wasn't impressed with!).

All in all it wasn't too bad at all, and considering the extra security, our flight was only an hour delayed.

I hope they used a fresh pair of gloves for each person!

Well it wasn't like they were asking him to cough lol .. just checking he wasn't wearing a band other than what should have been there.

As for the gloves .. I don't know. Probably not.
