    I pulled on a flight once with a young attractive girl sat to my right. Got the girls number and everything.

    Amazing what you can do when your wife is asleep in the seat to your left.

            "So, I get a bit agitated and then notice the girl is reading something - you can't see her face as it's hidden but you can see where she looks: she was holding something in her hands below the table."

            She could well have looked like a bulldog sucking a pi55 stained wasp
            Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.

            I preferred version 1!

              Thanks sas. I don't know how long it would hold my interest, so $54 for second hand book sounds a lot.

              BTW Does it include suitable chat-up lines for derivative freaks?

                I thought she was meant to blow you. Up, that is.

                  I was on a flight from Boston back to London in 1991 with a passably attractive blonde sitting next to me. She wasn't that tall, and when she leant forward I noticed that she had an unusually broad upper back. I didn't talk to her the whole flight, and hoped she didn't notice the non-stop silent farts I was making the whole trip. (I don't usually have a problem, it must have been something I ate.)

                  Half an hour before we landed, she started putting on make-up, which I thought was slightly odd. As she got herself ready, she glanced inside her passport, and I noticed her name. It seemed vaguely familiar, I wondered where I'd heard it. Samantha Fox, anyone?

                    Ah good old Sammy, icon of the eighties. I suppose her equivalent now is Jade Goody. Conclusive proof that society has declined for ever.

                      On a similar analogy comparing the 80s and the 00s:

                      Gary Lineker <-> David Beckham


                      See what I mean? Tis the end of civilisation.
