I still really want to back Hull to go down this year. Their run in is pretty horrid too, very tempting.
Also I think it was opr&flushdraw who were on this too, jelavic 4 clear for top scorer at the moment but out for another month.Go big or go homeless.Comment

Yeah I want them to go too. Have a Hull/Leicester/QPR treble at 16/1 and a 20/1 bet on Leicester to finish bottom.Originally posted by mdoug View Post
Still looking good though i think. Hernandez scored at the weekend and could have had another one. I did take out a little bit of insurance by also backing him at 3/1 because i'm a pussyAlso I think it was opr&flushdraw who were on this too, jelavic 4 clear for top scorer at the moment but out for another month.

Ha I did not see that coming
Justified going out not quite in a blaze of glory but in a series ridiculously convoluted plot twists that keep it as entertaining as it has consistently been for six series. It would be easy to snipe at the holes in the plot so wide that you could drive Boyd's truck through them or some of the dodgy editing that is used to stitch the whole thing together but it remains more fun than any other show on TV these days.
Its amazing how when you have a good enough team of writers you can get something like 75 hours of good quality TV out of one Elmore Leonard short story!Turning millions into thousandsComment

Nah worth a read, really creates an atmosphere. Plus it's a quartet, they left a whole book out of the TV adaptation,1977. It was tough going at times, you might find it easier having some idea of who certain characters are in advanceOriginally posted by Strewelpeter View PostComment

" Daddys neck is sore from driving the machines"
A few years ago my missus, my 5 year old daughter and I were in Boots in Newbridge waiting for a prescription. There was a bit of a queue so I was walking around as you do and my daughter found herself looking at a Durex display that had been put up for Valentine’s day. She picked up what looked like a tobacco tin and said “love box”, which was what was written on it, so I tried to ignore her with the hope she would put it down but no, I guess all the fancy coloring and letters on the tin were an attraction and she kept repeating “love box, daddy look, it’s called a love box”. By this time the people in the queue were snickering in a “ah she’s cute but that’s mildly embarrassing for you, kind of way.
So I said,” yeah, love box, that’s nice now put it back on the shelf, it’s nearly time to go home”. With that she pops open the tin and pulls out one of theseSPOILERand goes, “look daddy, you have one of these in your locker”. I just walked out, big red face on me and the crowd of people laughing in the backround.Comment

RTE news were very vague on it this morning. Obv didn't want to allude to terrorism (or whatever it may be) but did state that the only way the door could not be opened from outside was if it had been locked from inside. As you say, doesn't bare thinking about those 8 minutes if this is the case. I was hoping that a lack of pressure had something to do with it and they were all out cold.Originally posted by Hitchhiker's Guide To... View PostComment

That looks very bad... if the reports of the audio are true then we are most likely looking at a kamikazee situation.Originally posted by Emmet View Post
I suppose its possible that something came through the window knocking out the remaining crew and the controls.
That door system is an example of over engineered movie plot security in response to known unknowns, looks like we have just walked into one of the unknown unknowns.
Though if it is Kamikazee what would that be the second or third of those in the last few years? Hardly an unknown unknown then

"What is this doing here?!"
In a stroke of underage brilliance, knowing the aversion of explaining anything sexual to a child I said:
"I don't know, I've never seen it, what is it? Do you know?"
"No, I don't know what it is either, that's strange"
I had escaped. And we never spoke of it again.

A reasonable hypothesis, that the captain in the cockpit denied the other re-entry (the video does say - though doesn't explicitly state how - that the passcode opens the door unless there is intervention from within the cabin)Originally posted by Strewelpeter View PostThat looks very bad... if the reports of the audio are true then we are most likely looking at a kamikazee situation.

Another being the horrendous and disastrous idea that the captain inside did lose conciousness for whatever reason, and the captain outside simply forgot the pass-code.
Either way. GrimnessComment

Re: The plane
Looks like pilot suicide
One pilot left cockpit ( probably toilet )
Would of tried to enter code ( Denied/locked out by pilot inside )
Slow descent to crash as opposed to a failure ie nosedive ( software does not allow pilot to nosedive plane)
The rule is to have two people in cockpit at all time, it could of have been as simple as pilot leaving to tell flight attendant to go into cockpit and in that split 30 seconds, he locked door
Dumb idea time to prevent in future,
You cannot override entering pin to open door unless there are two people hooked up to
a pulse machine/ Heart monitor within cockpit ( probably easy to fake but just another obstacle)Comment

I really should stop thinking about this...but if you were looking to go down and take a load of people with you would you point it at a mountain and not a town?
I dunno I'm not convinced, you'd have to be a really sick fuck... so lets forget about suicidal pilots and switch channels back to the coverage of the trial of seemingly normal architect Graham Dwyer

Imagine being the pilot, stepping out for a leak. Irritation at not getting back in turning to puzzlement and then utter horror. Spending eight futile minutes clawing at the door, knowing the plane is descending the whole time. Holy fuck.Comment

I recall a docu a few years ago about the long hours and how low pay is for many pilots in the U.S, they were actually working second menial jobs to make ends meet.
I don't know whether it's different in Europe. Considering how much the job haa changed too with technology and automation, taxi drivers of the sky as O'Leary referred to them. They'd actually have considerably less time at the controls than a taxi driver.X can be anything, any number, that is what’s CRAZY about X.
Because X doesn’t roll like that, because X can’t be pinned down!
