I flew KLM several times and was relieved that we weren’t below sea level at 30,000 feet

Oh no, Charles. Don’t fucking tell me it was fucking multinational? Shit?! Shiiit!

But he’s right. I mean, you feel the same don’t you? He… just… doesn’t care that the crew is actually good at its job, he only cares that the good, efficient crew isn’t BRITISH.

We’ve all been there, one way or another. We were 14 years old, some of us drunk, many others stoned, etc. Just happens.

Alright, now pass me my coat.

Can anyone explain what’s quintessentially German about a cheese roll?

Because whatever time of day I fly with Lufthansa, they seem delighted to announce a “meal” consisting of a cheese roll. And a very small cup of moderately bad coffee, if I’m lucky.

It’s not the badness – I expect bad from airline food. It’s the lack of creativity in their exclusively cheese-roll-based menu. Sometimes the most fun to be had on a plane is trying to work out what exactly the steaming lumps or luke-warm slab of pink sat mournfully in your plastic tray actually are…

He should try flying Air Wales. Gaurenteed
leek soup, and close harmony singing on every flight (excepting French airspacew here it is a requirment of entry that cabin crew don striped t-shirts and berets and serve onion soup from bicycles).

@random punter

Blimey, that one wasn’t even deliberate. Clearly my subconscious is more intelligent, witty, and attractive than my conscious. This must be why I’m at my best when drunk.

@ pigfrottage

The article doesn’t say who is outraged at the TV show. Personally I’m outraged at the human race, 19% of the population are obviously lefty liberal tree hugging sandal wearers who need to do what they are bloody told!

Nelson is being defamed on the Sun website.

not only are people pretending to know about Millgram’s experiments in the 1960s but they are also taking Nelson’s name in vain. The TV show in question went one further and:

“Contestants were told to zap their victim actually an actor with 460 volts of electricity when they got questions wrong while a studio audience chanted ‘punishment’The actor screamed and writhed in pain begging to be let go before falling silent and pretending to die.”

The fantastic comment that follows is:

The Labour party do this kind of thing to us all every day and get away with it.
