    Feel very sorry for all those affected by the incident at Gatwick Airport last night and to day. In the past I would have been one of those poor passengers jetting off to the sunshine.

    yer all because some fool(s) playing with a bloody drone TOY !

    And I get an email from Thomas Cook Condor? saying my flight to Gran Canaria in May has been put back a day and 3  hours later too. Bummer. So thats car hire and hotel bookings and Gatwick parking to alter now!!



    No nothing.

    No Mods. No rockers. Just a chunky knob, thats now been replaced by an RS knob innit.

    No tackiness.

    Std as Ford intended, but with a space saver wheel and jack and nuts and wheel brace. oh.. and flaps, a man has got to have flaps.

    Innit?

    Probably some bored little scrotebags who live in Horley or Redhill thinking its fun. I only booked the flights early as they were so cheap, like £100 return, discount on parking too and car hire for 10 euros a day inc full insurance and no dodgy fuel policy. Thats backfired then!

    What a pain bda, there’s not much you can do about it sadly, just frustrating to rearrange everything. If you get it sorted you’ll have something really nice to look forward to.

    News channels speculate about possible terrorist attack planning. I would not be surprised if it were some eco activist against climate change. Very effective indeed. It’s time to prepare the shot gun to regain your privacy 😉

    Frenk, my money is on a couple of bored teenagers from Horley or Redhill who thought they were just having a jolly jape !

    and in other depressing news… ” four stowaways from Africa threaten crew with iron bars onboard cargo ship” now lets see , I just bet that they get arrested, have their (fake) names taken and are then released after being told to report to a local police station once a week while enjoying a free stay full board in a local hotel, oh, and never to be seen again..
