That kind of makes sitting next to a corpse seem less of a problem. I hope they found him a seat outside.
Anyone rewatched Johnny English Strikes Again? Another unlikely story where a Silicon Valley millionaire tries world domination?
Well, thank goodness the BBC has been able to broadcast live, and at considerable length, from Fort Lauderdale so we know the Tate brothers have landed safely.
Pet owners might want to read this and have a think. Flea treatment-tainted pet fur lining songbird nests may be killing chicks I should emphasise it says maybe.
I asked the vet about keeping Rasta's trimmings when she went to the doggy hairdresser and she said no because we do regular flea and tick treatments on our cats and the dogs when we had them.
The last time I flew, I went on a discount line and I had a seat booked in what I call steerage. Still a treat for me as I got a window seat and enjoyed the take offs and landings and seeing the country sides from a bird's eye view. Descending over Ireland and England was fun because the sheep first looked like polka dots and then pillows as we got lower. I got to watch a free movie and for what it was, a TV dinner to go with. I don't expect much so I enjoy that I am not disappointed. I do think a couple of selfies with a corpse might have been a bit over the top but what the heck, no one would be bending my ear or like the lady behind me who must have been a relative of Doc Holiday because she sounded like she was coughing up a lung! The washrooms were a little bit of an adventure but they weren't unpleasant smelling or dirty. They must use a pretty effective grade of PooPoree I consider it just a fast way to get from A - Z and nothing more. I really like the customs people. The ones at Gatwick, I felt like bringing them along on the vacay!
Back to my theme : Elon Musk, who likes to call the beneficiaries of federal spending the "parasite class," runs corporations that have pocketed $38 billion in taxpayer-funded subsidies, loans and contracts .
One Republican this week said some of the gov cuts were affecting real people, not just lazy welfare wasters. So, those on welfare aren’t “real people”?
That’s funny. It’s steerage in our house. From Wikipedia… A commentator described conditions in steerage aboard the SS Kaiser Wilhelm II in 1906: 900 steerage passengers [are] crowded into the hold of ... the Kaiser Wilhelm II, of the North German Lloyd line[. They] are positively packed like cattle, making a walk on deck when the weather is good, absolutely impossible, while to breathe clean air below in rough weather, when the hatches are down is an equal impossibility. The stenches become unbearable... [and the] division between the sexes is not carefully looked after, and the young women who are quartered among the married passengers have neither the privacy to which they are entitled nor are they much more protected than if they were living promiscuously. The food, which is miserable, is dealt out of huge kettles into the dinner pails provided by the steamship company.[4]
@Tidemark we've called it 'cattle class' ever since seat pitch started to be reduced. I first flew in the mid 70s when it seemed there was space to hold a party between rows of seats.
