Just because some guy tried to put a bomb in his shoe. Heaven forbid some one puts a bomb in his pants. We'll all have to drop 'em then. EEK! Ah yes, the old shoe removal torture.

I am so jealous. They can definitely teach you a thing or 2 about technology. Hope things improved once you got over here. Looking forward to chatting soon. Thanks again, David Hi John/Heidi:

You're right, I think that Heathrow is being run, not by the BAA, but by BSC - Billy Smart's Circus!In the gents toilets, BA domestic departures lounge, Terminal 1, Heathrow, I observed the following:January 2008. One hand dryer faulty. A sign saying "We are working hard to fix this quickly" stuck to the wall above the hand dryer.February 2008. The same hand dryer still faulty. The same sign saying "We are working hard to fix this quickly" still stuck to the wall above the hand dryer.March 2008. Both hand driers now faulty. The same sign saying "We are working hard to fix this quickly" now moved and stuck to the wall between the hand driers.In the lounge itself, I observed new waste bins, colour coded, to seperate items for recycling. The bins were, however, being emptied into the same garbage bag!I just hope that the guys who fix the planes aren't as useless..... Hi John. You’re right, I think that Heathrow is being run, not by the BAA, but by BSC – Billy Smart’s Circus!

In the gents toilets, BA domestic departures lounge, Terminal 1, Heathrow, I observed the following:

January 2008. One hand dryer faulty. A sign saying “We are working hard to fix this quickly” stuck to the wall above the hand dryer.

February 2008. The same hand dryer still faulty. The same sign saying “We are working hard to fix this quickly” still stuck to the wall above the hand dryer.

March 2008. Both hand driers now faulty. The same sign saying “We are working hard to fix this quickly” now moved and stuck to the wall between the hand driers.

In the lounge itself, I observed new waste bins, colour coded, to seperate items for recycling. The bins were, however, being emptied into the same garbage bag!

I just hope that the guys who fix the planes aren’t as useless…..

I not only roll my eyes but want to rip the thing out of their grubby paws and inform the person with whom they were communicating that due to lack of social consciousness….the conversion has been terminated…..I would not just turn the blasted thing off….. I would throw the phone at a wall smashing it to pieces all the while the other party hears the destruction.Rick from MicroShaft..... go climb one .....shaft that is....they put hideous resin wall devices next to them on some ships...once you get to the top of the resin thingy.....keep climbing !!! :)http://www.cruisereviews.com/RoyalCaribbean/Explorer128Pics/RockWall.jpg I loathe self absorbed loud obnoxious cell phone talkers….

It is the heigth of rudeness and those of us who are more considerate ought to be allowed to shoot (to kill) them! There have been times like the one you just described with Rick that I've not been sure there was anyone on the other end and that instead it was just a "show" to impress those of us within hearing distance which sometimes is a mile or two! Maybe you should report to Mr. Gates that Rich is giving away trade secrets. Flying is not my favorite thing in the world but I surely don’t hate it the way you do.

Reminds me of my Grandfather...when I was little long distance calling was expensive & so the calls were rare. He would SHOUT into the phone as if he was trying to get them to hear far away. Used to just make us kids laugh so hard. Hope your flight is a good one.Jan Why is it that people talk so loud into a cell phone?
