Airport security checks.

What about the US Customs & Immigration forms that ask whether you have ever, are currently or in the future plan to be involved in terrorist activity?

"Why, yes I am, good sir....



...Doh!"

There was somebody v. famous, I think maybe Oscar Wilde, who answered the question on the form: 'Do you intend to overthrow the United States government?' with the thread-closed answer: 'Sole purpose of visit' :lol:

Buying a bad-boy exhaust for your pimped up Peugeot 106 knob-mobile.

What kind of troglodyte wants to make their car sound noisier?

Whistles on aircraft lifejackets.

Handy, when you're surrounded by nothing but 250,000 square miles of Pacific Ocean.

In fact, aircraft lifejackets in general. What the airlines don't tell you is that no commercial aircraft has ever made a successful landing on water.

A lifejacket is about as much use as a catflap in an elephant house when your body parts are spread liberally across the waves, floating serenely amongst suitcases, fuselage and forty tonnes of burning aviation fuel.

Hither (sometimes Thither)
Tescos keep their "fresh" sandwiches in the free over night and sometimes the innards have failed to thaw by the following lunchtime when the first bite is to be taken. With them so cheap it seems somewhat pointless and ingrateful to return for reimbursement, to create a scene over something the poor would heat through and devour when the egg and ice divided. OH LOOK they shout HERE COMES SNOBBY-TONGUED MEADE'S_BALL WITH HIS NOTHING-IS-GOOD-ENOUGH-FOR-ME ATTITUDE, COMPLAINING THAT SOMETHING IN HIS f***ing CRESS'N'EGG SARNIE ISN'T JUST RIGHT AND HE WANTS HIS 88P BACK. THE COCK.
And Nicholas Lyndhurst, the charmless, frizzled, plastic magnet.

Au contraire edna...I am always tempted to put the lifejacket on as soon as I get on the aircraft, whenever one ends up in the drink all you ever see is lifejackets and the odd bit of fuselage floating around...I reckon that if I am already attached to one of said lifejackets then I must be in with a chance.

Depends how much of an addictive personality you have I guess.

There should be greater protection for the vulnerable. Harder access to be exposed to it and all the help and advice should not be pushed underground.
