        Shame that with all that skill, they still can't get the exhaust on properly.

          Digressing slightly, but I'm reminded of a bit of a faux pas I once did while on an aeroplane on my way home from hols.

          On the little overhead TV screens, they showed a map showing where we were. We were well into the descent/approach for landing bit as we flew over a particular city, but we hadn't heard the distinctive sound of the landing gear being lowered. Wife turned to me and asked 'why having they got the wheels out yet?' (as if I knew). I instantly replied 'Have you seen where we are? If they get the wheels out now someone will have them away before we even touch down'. It was at that point when the people in the seats just across the isle from us scowled at us, and then spoke to each other in an accent clearly defining them as being from the city I had just jokingly mocked.
