Wonder whether the Architect would like to look at his .NET Weather System Services v2.1. I'm trying to work out whether it's a good day to fly or not. It looks reasonably clear, I pack up the old flight bag, go outside and then the sky is filled with broken at 1300/2200ft with haze, thens it's cavok then suddenly its completely overcast.

Sod the "Is it a good day to fly"....Is it a good day to land?

What bothers me about flying is when the wings fall off or the engines fail. Sure there is a moment of peace, but then the plane starts to break up and your clothes are ripped from your body. I suppose there is a brief moment to enjoy the nudity of the cabin crew and free fall skiing. But then you slam into the ground at 200mph. If you are unlucky a tree breaks your fall and most of your limbs are scattered around the crash site.

It is not something you forget quickly.

Well, I managed to do a few circuits but looked too iffy for the coast. Mind you, the crosswind was quite entertaining - nothing like an aircraft coming in sideways to scare the student pilots when it's their turn to depart!

If a plane breaks up at 45,000 ft then you'll only be conscious for a few seconds anyway due to low partial pressure of oxygen at that altitude - assuming hitting the wall of freezing cold air at 500 mph doesn't rip your head off first.

The chances are that you'll be dead before you hit the ground. Certainly naked as the intense windmilling motion of your body as it plunges to the earth will have shred most of its' clothes.

Chico I am still waiting for you to tell me whether adultery is a sin in the same way that killing is a sin (i.e it is only a sin under certain circumstances)

[Chico]

Dodgy give up the affair - you know it is wrong. You will end up hurting your wife, your mistress, your kids (if you have any) or yourself. Either way somebody is going to get hurt. Worse case scenario you all get hurt and all for what?

[sasguru]

Chico I am still waiting for your responses to the real Christian Xerxes assertion that the commandment "Thou shalt not kill" is not negotiable.
How does it feel to be a fake Christian? Far worse tha an atheist in the eyes of God, I'll wager, for haven't you taken his name in vain?

That is a different argument than simply saying that it is a sin in the eyes of god chico. Anyway I havent had an affair yet (well certainly not in the Bill Clinton book of "affair definitions")
