Is the 52nd state FUBAR?

Hanuman · 24-08-11, 01:42 PM

Yes, I did say 52nd. Deliberately. Our special relationship with our colonial cousins seems to always put us behind. (actually, there's a sodding good chance that we would be in the 60s)

Several of our elected leaders, past and present, have made reference to the subject of us being screwed, socially. Although party agendas tend to vary the view from 'we are screwed' to 'we just don't understand them(*)'

*(presumably, the yoofs et al, wot get a bit giddy of a night)

So, as a starter point, and I make no further comment on the subject, here is a small poll.
(it's multi choice)

Preamble.
You're on a plane. In Europe. From an unspecified european location, to an unspecified UK location. You have a child. It wears a nappy.
Where is the best place to put said nappy once 'utilised'?

so-

Here's a clue.
At least 3 of those options seem acceptable to some of the travelling public.

For Fcuks sake, this is UK, 21st century. Not a bloody Hajj flight in the 3rd world.

If this basic social respect is lost, what next? How far will we sink, and who will take us there?

Maybe, a lot of people don't give a shit, save the unsuspecting sprog?

Lemmee guess - one of the hot air ovens in the galley?

A looter is nothing more than an opportunistic thief who sees something lying there and takes it. If it's a £6.50 bottle of water the sentence is four months.

So how long would the sentence be for stealing £1,645 to pay for a duck house?

Politicians have no moral right to decry the state of society when they are among its worst members.

I put it in someone elses hand luggage just for the sheer fun of it

I should point out that the someone else is the fat overweight one who takes up two seat spaces, sweats profusely and squeezes me right up against the window....did I ever mention I detest flying.

I was flying from unspecified country in Europe to unspecified city in UK. After the flight, the plane was left FILTHY! Rubish was left EVERYWHERE on the floor, seats, etc.. 95% were adults. F****** ANIMALS!!!

i'd put it in the bin in the toilet... if it was a sh*t.

otherwise in a nappy bag in 'her' hand luggage would be a distinct possibility..

did it end up in the refreshments trolley..?

Isimmo · 26-08-11, 10:27 AM

I voted to stick it under the seat in front... Partially wrapped... And ideally hidden between the seat and the life jacket.

Anyone else flown Olympic?

If it was Ryan Air or Easy Jet, they'd introduce a surcharge to cover nappy disposal!
