Yeah, but did you get any action on the back seat?
No. Gutted I was.

Don’t you believe it! 5 years max apparently, but only half will be served as we know. Then because of the crisis that is our prison service, we’ll let people go as early as possible for e.g. regularly brushing their teeth so it’s quite likely the offender will be out before had a chance to try all the illegal drugs available in HMPS

Bloody hell! That is shocking. Actually now you’ve said it, no, it isn’t. It’s just typical of, as you say, how fecked up things have become.Depressingly correct. I found out a couple of years ago a depressing fact about permanent road speed cameras - for a new site to be considered there has to have been a fatality caused by speeding, how fecked up is that??

That’s one stupid people.
Do keep up. Comments dripping with .. . . .there should be a word for this. Irony? Satire? Not exactly....anyway, rest assured, it is the oppostite of what I actually mean....
I've just been whooshed, haven't I
Yes, I know. Extra day lift pass costs are a bit steep.
You’re reading way too much into a flippant question resulting from tiredness.

It is absolutely staggering how a 4ft piece of floating plastic has managed to completely cripple the second biggest airport in the UK for 24 hours+ and counting, grounding 800+ flights, scattering aircraft all over Europe, with still no end in sight. I mean, just THINK about that!
The fact that a geek with a toy from Maplins can bring a major european hub and its airlines to its knees at the busiest time of year is mindboggling.
England. How shit are we ??

and therein lies the problem that has been ignored for years. It doesn't need a vivid imagination to understand the immense disruption these things can cause. Next time at the Amex and some nutjob sends one over, what then?
I dunno about "how shit we are", the reality is very little can be done. We'll eventually get geofencing at airports, then we'll need train stations, then, then, then
Sales of these things should have been restricted from the start, although their mere existance is probably enough to make them the favoured tool of extremists, loonies and chancers for the foreseeable
Are you certain it’s a geek with a toy?

If/when caught, they should be taken straight to South Terminal where they'd get a chance to explain their actions to the affected passengers. Stick it on pay per view!
Now landed. China Eastern flight from Shanghai heading in now.
Can see Planes starting to come in.
hopefully this mess will be over soon.
We have planes that are meant to be leaving LGW departing form LHR today, still at least people are getting away.
