  i just thought i'd make up a poll on people's viewpoints of who likes this site better or worse than the .

  older one ?.

  as for myself, i kind of liked the older one better, its just seems that the usability was better,.

  "praise is also going to the three cabin crew who organised the evacuation of the 150 passengers.

  and there is credit for the french-based european airbus firm for building a tough airliner.

  among other things, unlike boeings, the airbus has an emergency "ditch button", which closes vents and makes the fuselage more watertight.

  Thanks, OTWO for the development. They call it in french Tir au poulet. The possibility of pilot error was ventured by a poster on PRUNE, a site for professional aircraft pilots. At the time I read it, yesterday, that was a rather isolated opinion, he said that the aircraft was too slow to allow the undamaged engine to be started again.

  Well, suppose they fit a grid on the air intake, poor geese would have been flattened against it, hence horrible suffering and sight and animal protection societies making a fuss, better for them to be minced and roasted within an eye blink. Seriously, a grid would clutter the air intake and reduce power. Jet engines are normally devised to absorb insects and birds. When designed, they are routinely tested with chickens (they call it chicken shooting), for some reason it didn't work this time. Could it be that the pilot made a mistake, switching the good engine off after the other one had been damaged ? That happened in the past.

  Tiffy,

  hoping that things aren't going that bad, if you have to choose between peace(and hubby) and religion (or change/lack thereof) I would advise to choose peace and hubby, religion is not worth breaking a family.

  SPELLINGE !

  i know i am an old fart and a pedant,but things spelled incorrectly stand out, like copy of c.o.c in a kingdom hall library.. i don't think it matters too much say,posting on here,or in life generally,so many people make mistakes,but i do think it detracts from your credibility and your message in important stuff i.e a d.a letter for example,any excuse and dub's will ignore what you say.. so,is it not worth checking?

  one word that many on here have a problem with is apostasy,often putting a c where the last s should be.. is having a problem with this word a true example of irony?.

  love.

  Obama's soles

  no wonder obama won hands down, in an armchair, after voters saw this picture and made the comparison with the price of sarah palin's wardrobe.

  imo, though, he is smart enough for having directed this mediatic coup.

  and who could possibly believe that michelle, who most likely supervised his campain, or the girls, didn't notice what the condition of these soles was ?

Never mind, victory belongs to the one who strikes the unexpected blow.
