This will be my 6th time on a A380 (i keep a log because im a nerd)
Superb aircraft and you don’t get over the size until you see one up close

Takes an hour to actually get everyone on board

The weirdest sensation is taken off, feels like you’re only going 20mph , then your up.

Next time will be my 2nd time on upstairs deck, which again is a weird sensation because you’re higher

Absolutely love them

The b777s GE 90s are bigger than most a320 fuselages - which is a bit of a marvel too

My next 2 flights are on a A380-800 and a B777

on the A380 flight - i moved from seat 11a - to 26a a couple of weeks ago -

wondering if i might have dropped a clanger now.

i agree - flaps look at 0 , not even 5 , let alone 10/20 - which is what would be expected.

initial lift was ok... probably due to initial TOGA engine speed. i wonder if when he lifted the nose, speed dropped below critical value (due to no flaps) and it dropped below the amount of speed required to lift and the rest is not good.

yeah dont do it. theres one particualar image which is rather...not good.

i am seeing however, news of 3 survivors, 2 from the aircraft - which is unconfirmed -but if proved - a miracle

maybe the detail will be forthcoming over the next few weeks, but with all the fanfare this has been given, i would have expected something other than mutual backpatting and "special relationship" rhetoric

this truely was a non-event.

How much do you reckon these Ed Sheeran tickets will be then?
at 13:34 7 May 2025

i dont think so - shes pretty handy with all this ticket stuff and shes been to see them before. message i got was

"Didnt get any i was 8000 odd in he queue and i got the buying page but every set of 4 tickets i tried said no longer available i even tried sets of 3 and 1 and two sets of 2 as a last ditch attempt i tried the 259 each hotel package tickets and even theyd gone.

tried the other 2 dates, same thing. "

so pretty sure she wasnt misreading.

its a shame but obviosuly wasnt meant to be

Mrs MJ tried at 10am as an album pre-orderer.. it was basically sold out on all 3 days by 10.05 . she went for the expensive tickets at 200 a pop and cheap ones - and variants of 2+2 and 3+1) but no avail.. she was 8000 in the queue at 10.00.02.

its not a paper loss - its an actual loss

you are right, its a long term view i should be taking not a short term one, that said, i dont think the markets are going to recover for a while on this one back to their previous levels

edit - the point im making is that if id have put it in my back pocket on monday. id have 20600 (or so) - today, its 19080 (or so) . given that i put 20k in to start with (6 months ago), to receive "any less" - is depressing.

if it helps, my stocks and shares ISA (with a UK company and low risk, spread shares) which had 20k in it on wednesday is now worth 19k this morning.

the sh1tg1bbon has personally cost me at least 1k
