    NATO countries aren't going to assassinate Putin. If he's going to get shot it would be from inside Russia and there's nobody there with the power to pull it off. Putin has systematically changed the power structures to ensure he's unchallenged. 

    Putin has the country so much under his control that I would not expect anything usefull at all to come out of Russia.

    It’s nothing like street parking. Everyone has a locker above their own seat. Some people are just lazy and like to leave their stuff further forward. And FWIW you can’t leave your stuff in other sections of the plane. But yes main source of annoyance was the fact she was smashing the shite out of my belongings … I wouldn’t have cared otherwise.

    The important word here is "Convience" The locker above you is for your stuff and for your convience,it is just above your seat.Everyone has one,so why use someone elses,FFS.

    There seem to be an increasing number of reports about Russian military aircraft crashing, not in combat, just crashing. An Su-34 crashed yesterday, there were a couple last week too I think. Getting in Russian military aircraft might just be getting more dangerous due to poor maintenance

    It could be people falling out of higher windows ?!

  4. Here is an experiance I had a few years back ( along the same lines ) I was driving along the freeway when about 10 bikers suddenly appered behind me.They followed me for a while,then I got sick of them bieng behind me so I flicked my parking lights on/off,which made them think I was breaking.I did this a few times and they all overtook me.Great.  

  5. Some people do strange things for whatever reason.I was comming home from a Perth Glory game,on a saturday night a few years ago and a guy wearing only underpants was on this very crowded train.I thought Bucks party.No one took any special notice of him.Its as if going to the city on a saturday night in your underpants is the normal thing.

    Yeah that makes sense. Again I wasn’t suggesting it was something that would happen all the time. Because as you say it just wouldn’t work. 
     

    But as a trick play of sorts I could have seen it being used 

    But,would they use it ?

    I watched SF play Falcons ( I think ) and the SF player passed the ball,as in Rugby but the recieving player had a player inside him ( after running 15/20 yards or so ) and he "did not " pass ( it would have been an easy touchdown ) instead he ran another yard and got tackled. 

  7. From what you guys have written about Calcutta,I have decided to do the ;Golden triangle" and add 3/5 days in Calcutta.I was born in Calcutta in 1942 ( my parents were fighting the Japaneese ) I looked it up and see that a few places that  I remember are still around.Radha bazaar,H awkers corner,the Regal picture theatre and the school that I went to.FYI my parents were English,,I am English ( although I have never lived in England ) We left Calcutta in 1950 and I have never been back since,that is going to change early next year.

    Yeah, I've heard that people in this position become very calm and accepting. Maybe more traumatic for their loved ones than them.

    If you stand back and look at the big picture.You have no choice except to accept it,so the sooner you accept it the better for everyone concerned.IMHO.

    When I see people with a terminal illness, I admire their strength and hope I can summon some if I am ever in their position.

    I know 3 people that were told to get their affairs in order because they only had a certain amount of time left ( one of them was my brother ) and in all 3 cases they all accepted it after an initial period of worry ( thats not exactly the right word )
