Maybe she was reffering to the flaps, Aircraft need flaps deployed for takeoff dont they. I cant' believe for a second that anyone who works at a airport would think planes fly like birds ffs!

Although I know that planes have flaps for takeoff and landing, however she was literally talking about the wings flapping to takeoff. Astonishing :p
 
I was in a model flying club where all members had to have insurance. One of the teenage members was a real pain and liked threatening people. One year he didn't renew his insurance and after threatening another member with violence it was decided to kick him out the club where he then demanded a refund for his insurance that he didn't have.
It was explained to him but he seriously said "I WANT A REFUND CAUSE I WAS GONNA GET IT"
 
I thought I posted this already, but perhaps not.

I enquired on gumtree about the size of a chest of drawers:

"Could you please tell me the size of the drawers? I need to make sure they will fit in my flat, cheers"

"They are tall and wide-ish. Thanks"

My aunt is convinced her doctor told her that diet fizzy drinks contain more sugar than regular ones. She's diabetic.

GF is constantly using completely incorrect words "Specific" becomes "Pacific", "Pact" becomes "Pack", "St Pancras Station" becomes "St Pancreas". The list goes on, try and point out the error and I get accused of constantly correcting her in front of her friends. I explained she should try to stop being wrong.

Why are you going on about irony? I used it correctly and so did burns...

But back on topic:


A while ago, i was in the supermarket, in the beer aisle, and i overheard a woman talking with her daughter. They were looking at 2 litre bottles of cider and trying to decide which one to buy. In the end they went for the Tesco own brand because the mum had spotted the nutritional breakdown label and said, "Oh look, this one has zero percent fat in it, that'll be better for your dad!" /facepalm
 
My girlfriend of the time was an agency nurse and was on weekly timesheets.
One morning as she left the house she asked me to fax her timesheet to the agency.

When she got back she had the right hump and asked me in that tone of voice you know is reserved for 'I told you so' if I'd faxed the timesheet.
I replied that I had.

"You can't have faxed my timesheet to the agency because (volume rising to a bellow) IT'S STILL ON THE TABLE"

I really enjoyed explaining (as if talking to a 4 year old) that the fax machine didn't screw up the paper really tightly and send it down the phone line
:D

That relationship didn't last!

Wow, just wow :p
 
Hah! That reminds me of my old boss telling me she had to keep an email short as it was going to Austrailia and she didn't want to incur a massive phone bill.
 
My better half was telling me about being on the escalator and hearing this awful banging noise behind her, she turned round to find a woman had managed to push a shopping trolley onto it. Best bit was when she offered to help the woman at the top of the escalator commenting that this wasn't a great idea, the woman promptly replied "well how else am I gonna get it upstairs?" .... reply 'um the lift' :D

I heard once that someone I knew was told to go "straight over the roundabout" on their driving test, and literally did just that, over the middle of it *facepalm*

I knew someone that was on their driving test going down a dual carriageway. The instructor told them to "pull in up ahead" (meaning enter the layby). The driver moved to the side of the road, stopped, handbrake on and looked at the instructor. Yes, he had stopped on the dual carriageway :o!
He failed.
 
My Dad told me a friend of his who entered a boat and kept carrying his heavy box on his head for the entire journey and how he later started ranting on how he save the boat from sinking by carrying the extra weight.

They are more harmful than regular fizzy drinks (which are terrible for you anyway).

As has been said before; that might well be true but sugar free diet drink definitely do not contain more sugar then regular drinks.

Saying anything else is irrelevant to the point the guy was making ;)

Quite, I wasn't really asking for a discussion on the relative toxicity of various carbonated drinks.

Perhaps I wrongly assumed it was common knowledge that drinks labelled diet/max/zero etc. do not contain more SUGAR than drinks that are not labelled as such.

Please please tell me you are ****ing joking...... For one thing, heat isn't a by-product of light, heat and light are simply different wavelengths of radiation, both of which are, for example, by-products of passing an electric current through a fine metal wire. Both heat and light can be reflected, as can x-rays and radio waves!

So many people in this thread arguing that a reflective surface absorbs heat in the same manner as a dull one! Did none of you listen in physics lessons? Radiant heat is just a form of electromagnetic radiation, exactly like light!! It is true that in an oven the food also gets hot through conduction of the heat from the air to the food as well as by radiation from the surface of the oven, but it's not moronic to believe that foil shiny side in will cook the food faster than shiny side out, it's true!

Or are you all just being ironic in the moronic thread?

(not sure how much faster the food would cook by the way, but nevertheless there is a difference).
