  1. Piss away makes interesting reading
  2. Mmm Jake this is from Quantas don't ask me however I would imagine the target radar is for beacon aquisition at airports...
  3. Classic and very funny "Quantas Problem Solving" After every flight, Qantas' pilots fill out a form, called a "gripe sheet" which tells mechanics about problems with the aircraft. The mechanics correct the problems, document their repairs on the form, & then pilots review the gripe sheets before the next flight. Never let it be said that ground crews lack a sense of humor. Here are some actual maintenance complaints submitted by Qantas' pilots & the solutions recorded by maintenance engineers. By the way, Qantas is the only major airline that has never had an accident. (P= the problem logged by the pilot.) (S= the solution and action taken by mechanics.) P: Left inside main tire almost needs replacement. S: Almost replaced left inside main tire. P: Test flight OK, except auto land very rough. S: Auto land not installed on this aircraft. P: Something loose in cockpit. S: Something tightened in cockpit. P: Dead bugs on windshield. S: Live bugs on backorder. P: Autopilot in altitude hold mode produces a 200 feet per minute descent. S: Cannot reproduce problem on ground. P: Evidence of leak on right main landing gear. S: Evidence removed. P: DME volume unbelievably loud. S: DME volume set to more believable level. P: Friction locks cause throttle levers to stick. S: That's what they're for. P: IFF inoperative. S: IFF always inoperative in OFF mode. P: Suspected crack in windshield. S: Suspect you're right. P: Number 3 engine missing. S: Engine found on right wing after brief search. P: Aircraft handles funny. S: Aircraft warned to straighten up, fly right, & be serious. P: Target radar hums. S: Reprogrammed target radar with lyrics. P: Mouse in cockpit. S: Cat installed. P: Noise coming from under instrument panel. Sounds like a midget pounding on something with a hammer. S: Took hammer away from midget. Gave me a giggle especially as it's from real reports
  4. Hmmm that's a good point I think it is 365 hours a year for lunch divided over an 8 hour day = 46 days !!!
  5. Hehe just means when you think your working hard really your not
  6. LMAO The last one where they all just fall on the floor is class :rlol:
  7. Mmmm maybe not as funny as I thought no one's posted a reply....
  8. Mine's leaking a little bit to so me too guys assistance appreciated...
  9. Ah yes four days off, I know when I finish tommorow morning at 7am after working 12hrs I won't be back in to work until Weds next week
  10. Doing my last one now... Got lots of energy drink and my PSP for company oh and the forum of course
  11. Thought this was brilliant "So you want the day off. Let's take a look at what you are asking for. There are 365 days per year available for work. There are 52 weeks per year in which you already have two days off per week, leaving 261 days available for work. Since you spend 16 hours each day away from work, you have used up 170 days, leaving only 91 days available. You spend 30 minutes each day on coffee break. That accounts for 23 days each year, leaving only 68 days available. With a one hour lunch period each day, you have used up another 46 days, leaving only 22 days available for work. You normally spend two days a year on sick leave. This leaves you only 20 days available for work. We are off for 5 bank holidays per year so your available working time is down to 15 days. We generously give you 14 days annual leave per year which leaves only 1 day available for work and i'll be damned if you're going to take that day off!!!"
  12. I see so maybe go with the XS one on ebay which looks okay, get to some meets, pick a favourite branded one and save up the notes. Gotcha Thanks Homer Really must get to some meets this year working 4 on 4 off is a pain as it seems meets always happen when i'm working
  13. Defo go with rims no one can see under the hood unless it's made of perspex
  14. It's a Jap one think it's been on since import couldn't find any brandage on it... So what's a good exhaust for loud but not deafening as now it's got a hole in it the exhaust sounds quite loud and I like,
  15. Very nice... nice price to I'm thinking of changing my standard rims soon Rochford tyres seem to be quite good
  16. Well managed to reverse into a bloody curb and now my exhaust pipe has a lovely 3 inch tear in it... Well guess I will need to replace it any suggestions also is it gonna do any harm if I have to leave it say a month before I can afford to buy another. I would imagine I need what? £300 for a stainless cat back?
  17. Haha I think the hairdryers were peeing of the bike owners as well I spoke to a few on the way into Southend. I ended up parking in a little back alley town carpark, nice day though if a bit packed...
