Yeah and I still remember our landing at Moscow Sheremetyevo back in 2001 as one of the sketchiest landings ive ever been on in some ancient Ilyushin iirc, think we came back on an airbus.
I've always said people who are comfortable on landing and takeoff don't understand the process of what's actually happening. |

then he's a bit of an arrogant so and so then, because McKenna made it clear we were playing as a squad of players all of whom had roles to play, and some would have to sit on the bench, be rotated in to games and fight for their places in the team, which players like Hirst took the challenge on perfectly
and there was nothing Burgess did last season that made me think McKenna got it wrong, and that he was some premier league quality defender in disguise.
alot of the Burgess love comes from the promotion seasons and how well he played in the championship,and we thank him for that, not what he did last season
I suspect the reality is his agent was trying to get an improved deal out of Town, and chucked alot of higher linked clubs, none of whom were interested to get us to bite, and Swansea literally probably were the only actual other offer on the table.
I mean thats the reality if the guy is such a great defender that McKenna has apparently not seen, why have none of the newly promoted sides signed him instead ? why have none of the other championship teams saw an opportunity to buy him ? it wasnt a secret his contract was up and was clearly stalling on signing Towns offer. |

Greaves was fine imo, but its the classic thing about focussing on the outcomes of games of which we lost a few, therefore the defence & keeper get the blame for it, whilst the midfield and attack get a free pass.
there was one game he had a bit of a mare, got subbed at half time, but Burgess was just as bad 2nd half played, and yet Greaves got the whole pelters for us losing that even though he only played half the game. |

Yeah but I dont like the murk ones, it's meant to be beer the craft is making it taste like beer not alcoholic orange or grapefruit juice. It's all.about the subtlety not overpowering you on strength or bombarding your taste buds
Too many craft breweries, Burnt Mill excepted as I don't think they do this just to be clear, just brew alcohol chuck load of strong punchy hops in it, call it a drink and its not.
That's why I like pintle and its perfect on a day like today in the sun, you drink too many 6-8% beers in the heat and you'll be done for the day very quickly. |

Absolutely they make some great beers, and the Woodbridge Hopsters/brewery tap is great little bar, very pleasant in the sun, a little over run by Mumsnet during the day, dont think ive ever been to a craft bar that had high chairs but hey if they're buying stuff its more likely the place stays open which is good.
Pintle I think is their best even if I've never scored it more than 3/5, but its craft when I'm usually looking for cask so it has to work harder to impress me |

Manslaughter is a separate charge , however there is no reason why manslaughter could not be used in cases like this.
The issue is the cps don't believe juries will convict on it, so they rarely use it |

The flaps thing, footage isn't clear enough to judge what position theyre in but the flaps lever is down by the throttles and the gear lever is up on the center panel in front of you, you absolutely could not get those two mixed up it's like saying you pulled the handbrake when you go for the indicators in a car
However a loss of power would affect hydraulic systems and that would impact gear retraction and flaps, thrust obviously too, and there's claims the ram air turbine was deployed, you deploy that when there's no power to power critical systems
Now there was a thing I thought was only few years back but it's possibly over 10 years ago where there was a bug in the 787 systems software around power
basically a memory overflow thing, where if the plane had been powered on continuously for 248days, it would turn all the power systems off, regardless of the phase of flight, which would result in complete loss of control of the plane.
Now they were fixing the bug, but they'd always said no plane is every continuously powered for that length of time,so applying the fix was never mandated as a safety requirement, simply a notice to airlines.
It could be completely coincidence, this plane had a major service recently it would have been switched off and on again.
But a reminder these are incredibly complex aircraft and it's not always the most obvious bit that causes a crash like this.
RIP to all those who have died and thoughts with those impacted by it |

In terms of damages an area of natural beauty, the buildings as theyll end up, ignoring the decommissioning part Sizewall a for instance might not be gone completely till 2090... but the structures no not an impact.
What people are talking about there is the amount of landscape destruction in the area they've done already and will continue to do to facilitate the construction, alot of it done purely to make the construction more profitable for EDF and easier for them. Cos cutting corners & making profit is the best way to build nuclear power plants obviously.
But we're talking entire forests being cut down, areas basically from the a12 to the coastline being cleared, the landscape permanently altered, all that plant life which is good for the environment remember, all that wildlife gone, lost for generations it could take 50-60 years just to recover some of the forestry after they've finished and will probably end up being akin to Rendlesham which isn't the best ecology environment to have
And we could lose permanently parts of heathland as the balance is tipped, the very heathland that's supposed to be protected in AONB, because it's rare habitat.
There are ways to build these things, and im in favour of more nuclear power stations btw, but without such wanton destruction of the local area in the process.
I saw it best described as the nation lost its mind when the Sycamore gap tree was cut down, it was one tree, they're cutting down thousands of trees around Sizewell |

the problem I always had with knighting Beckham was alot of that "good deeds work" he did, largely it seemed at the behest of Posh spice, was purely to lobby for getting a knighthood, he wasnt doing those things for anything other than self interest to gain a knighthood from doing it.
whilst I think doing good deeds should be their own reward, the gongs and stuff shouldnt matter, lots of people do charitable work and dedicate themselves to making other peoples lives better, they dont do it so they can get a gong from it.
so sure if he'd dedicated the rest of his life and his fortune to making the world better fair enough, but he hasnt so we're left rewarding him for simply being well known, well done, your famous here have a medal.
but since they hand them out increasingly like medals at a school sports day now its harder to justify not giving him or anyone one really
and theres always an element of politics involved, the government of the day always likes a bit of self reflected glory for the celebrity awards.
theyll probably knight linekar next. |

always has been, why I stopped bothering in the North stand years back, its marginally better in Sir Alf, but still pointless trying to get a beer most games.
and Ive never understood why theyve never fixed it, it can only be because the staff are temporary theres no inherited knowledge of what works and what doesnt, so they keep making the same mistakes on the way they pour the drinks, and theres no one at the club whose focus is really on the spend per game people are making.
lets hope theyve learnt for Eds concerts though I doubt it |

its ridiculous, I geniunely dont know what more the Spurs board or Levy expect, or why any sane manager would now sign with them given their aspirations clearly will never match up.
its basically a paycheck to get sacked regardless of how well you do, so maybe there are some who would take it. |
