That is running bad, G2L.

That said, it is funnier this way.

[smashedagain]

Lol. Happy new year everyone

Today's metro carries a story that some rodents sing to each other.

The headline?

NESSUN DORMOUSE

That is the pun to beat today. A high bar.

Have you seen many better, Tikay?

Oh my, no, I don't think I can beat that, quality!

Some of the puntastic shop titles are a bit naff, but I rather like them.

This one depressed me a little though.

[Door opens. A stranger walks in, takes off his hat and addresses the shopkeeper]
"Good morning, shopkeep"
[Continuing to state at his newspaper] "Is it?"
"It most certainly is! I should like to buy your most ripe and delicious passion fruit"
"No passion fruit here" [he sighs deeply and gazes into the distance as the rain pummels against the window] "No...no passion of any kind here in years"

Some of those are breathtaking! Proper porn that, hardcore porn.

Great stuff, thank you.

Do you know when BA take delivery of their first A380? Presumably it will arrive some months before scheduled flights commence?

Is the maintenance hanger ready? They had to extend the existing hangeer, as I recall, by cutting an inverted "V" shape in the roof.

Will BA have their own A380 Flight Simulator, or use someone else's?

Are the BA pilots currently being trained for A380's?

  I believe BA's first three A380's are being delivered July next year,the first aircraft on the production line had its Trent 900 engines fitted this week.Once delivered they will go into service immediatley.BA will have it's own simulators,the whole simulator operation is currently being moved from Cranebank on the a30 to the main base at Hatton cross.The first hangar has been modified and the second is well on the way,the main change being a cutout in the roof as the vertical stabiliser is taller than a Jumbo.
  Training for the Licensed engineers is well under way,the facility is a sight to see,very futuristic.You sit in front of two massive monitors with a laptop and any changes to the systems is viewed in real time.It's a nine week class based course then a couple of weeks in Toulouse at Airbus hands on.Very diferent from my 747 course where I used a pencil and a bit of imagination.

Dave Gorman, on his radio show, has a section called Pun street where listeners send in authentic shop name puns from around the world. Here's the list:

I think you'd enjoy "Plane Crash" that was on tonight...An international team of scientists, experts and elite pilots deliberately crash land a 170-seat Boeing 727 passenger jet to study the mechanics of a plane crash in real time

Channel 4 On Demand to watch it

I found that rather boring so think Tikay will like it too.

However, I raise with Welcome To India available in HD on BBC iplayer.

I thought both were superb.


So there.
