  1. Someone's plumage needs preening.
  2. Part of being fearless is to continually say how fearless you are. Otherwise you might stop believing it. The Bali braveheart was the same.
  3. This is your captain speaking. Due to the cold weather we have turned on extra heating. This can be observed on the right-hand side of the aircraft.
  4. I'd say one part is TFOA (things falling off aircraft) the other is "oh shit!".
  5. The clue was the A330 landing at the beginning of the video. The incident happened at Frankfurt, see diagram below. Wake turbulence from the A330 presented as a tailwind to the B737 reducing airspeed below safe takeoff airspeed. So the crew lowered the nose and waited until they had regained the appropriate airspeed then made a safe takeoff. ATC cleared the B737 too early.
  6. I've heard that your third eye is located on the forehead.
  7. Watching a YouTube video related to aviation which included a couple of new, to me, terms. A bad pilot/operator. A crater looking for a grid reference. SLOJ - sudden loss of judgement. Mind you I don't think that is related solely to aviation, I sure that over the years many a SLOJ has been committed on Walking Street.
  8. While the forum does requires multiple booster doses it still won't protect you against Covid-19.
  9. Disagree. I've owned IBM/Lenovo T and W series ThinkPads for more than 20 years. No problems. Mind you, I don't have any experience with the consumer level models. I guess you get what you pay for.
  10. Step 1. Turn off Windows firewall and see how it goes. Step 2. Remember to turn Windows firewall back on. On Windows 7 the firewall is part of the Control Panel dropdown menu. On windows 10 you can access it via a link in Settings > Network&Internet.
  11. It'l fuk your keto diet that's for sure.
  12. 1. Dunno, don't care. Ask Dutton and Scotty from marketing. They set the entry requirements. PS. How many of those now wanting to return ignored the warnings that the border could be shut at any time? 2. Dunno, don't care. Put up $40 million to bring back 1,000 Aussies for a month and tells us what the requirements are. The entry caps are set at National Cabinet. I'm still waiting for my invite. 3. Just shows how bloody dangerous the virus is. All players were required to have a negative PCR test when boarding their flight. There was one exemption, a player who had Covid in November but was still testing positive. I guess the decision was based on his CT score. But you raise a good point. I think the rules on who is allowed to enter Australia should be tightened even further.
  13. Same old bullshit, some habits are hard to break. The players and their entourages were never in "the queue". Tennis Australia forked out $40 million for charter flights, additional hotels and associated staff to bring the players out. An option open to anyone. If you're so worried about bringing people, probably disease ridden people, back to Australia put up $40 million and you can be a hero.
  14. Yeah. You can probably add aged care facilities to that list.
  15. On 31st January with 5 hours notice Perth and surrounding areas were placed on full lockdown for 14 days after a quarantine hotel worker was found to be infected with the UK virus, sorry, UK variant. Some conditions were eased when there were no immediate new infections. All, bar one, immediate contacts were traced and tested negative. The other contact had departed overseas and is irrelevant. Persons who had been in the same area at the same time as the infected worker were also invited to get tested. As no further cases have been detected, at 00:01 on Sunday 14th all restrictions will be lifted and Western Australians will return to the Covid free carefree lifestyle they had been enjoying for the previous 10 months. Three days after the Perth infection was discovered there was a similar leakage from a quarantine hotel in Melbourne. The Victorians, instead of going immediately into a full lockdown opted for a "managed" approach. Identifying contacts and placing them into isolation. After 10 days of continuing infections Victoria has given up on the "managed" approach and will now go into a 5 day full lockdown. What happens after that remains to be seen. Would the Western Australian approach have been as successful had there been further infections? Who knows but clearly, the "managed" approach with the idea of avoiding lockdowns doesn't work as hoped for. As a side note. In both cases the hotel worker does not appear to have breached protocols or had direct contact with an infected person staying at the hotel. The assumption is that both were infected by the circulating air within the hotels. Apparently the virus hasn't been told about the 6'/1.5M rule. For those who don't know. All (well most) overseas arrivals to Australia are required to isolate in a quarantine hotel for 14 days before being let loose in the community.
  16. It's enough to make you choke on your morning cuppa. In Britain this week, Weetabix posted a Tweet that showed two of their dry bricks of wheaty cereal covered in Heinz baked beans. Ewww, gross. (Clearly I do not know how to spell ewww, but I know gross when I see it).
  17. I don't know if it's a plug-in but updates to the post count appear to have gone missing. From your last 4 posts in this thread.
  18. IATA call their idea Travel Pass not Travel Cert. What ever name it goes by, it's going to have to be accepted by all countries. IATA's proposal. https://www.icao.int/MID/Documents/2020/3rd MID DGCA Virtual Meeting/DGCA-MID3 Virtual Meeting- 7 December 2020- IATA.pdf
