Lagos airport was a copy of Schipol and was paid for by Shell (Dutch Government)
Netherlands Airport Consultants (NACO) also built 13 other airports in Nigeria and I was Resident Engineer on Yola and Maiduguri in the north (Muslim area) of the country
When I was in Nigeria building airports ......... Iceland Air came in to handle the Hadj travellers (trip to Mecca for Ramadan) . One story that amused me was about a guy who was all set to use his camping gas stove to boil water for a cup of chai ...........ON THE FRIGGIN PLANE
(True story)
No problem with that as long as it wasn't in daylight hours or it would have been
If anyone sees me getting on the same plane as Stew .....PLEASE FEEL FREE TO SHOOT ME

Someone bought rays for £1800??? He must have been very keen...
for the record mon ami
there's a guy on Ebay trying to sell some Rays for £1600.00 .... he has not sold them yet (AFAIK)
try and sell does not = buy ..........
Na I'll just hang the plate off the Zunsport grille .... the grille opening will be unaffected by the bodyshop work (except for the plate holder work)
I'll check how it looks first and if I prefer, I'll tape it to the smoothed bumper Nixy style
it's another government 'tick in the box' and that's ALL it is
Can someone answer these questions please :
1. what are we going to do when all the boxes have been ticked ?
2. where is the money going to come from when everyone is either
............a) working for the government ?
............ working in Human Resources ?
............c) working for the elf'n'safety ?
............d) monitoring everyone else ?
............e) ticking the boxes ?
............f) on benefits

I shall be reserving 2 seats on a Qatar Airways A330-300 and a 777-200LR of the same airline tonight .... any advice regarding which seats to book will be welcome ....I'd like a window seat and my wife would like an isle seat (next to me of course lol)
