    whereas I would agree that our old colonial friends have attributes which might seem alien to us, modern technology has also played a part as far as I can see. I used Powerhouse (not so modern I know) for some time on an HP3000 platform and it was like trying to subdue a wild animal in a bag. One experienced user of it remarked to me that it was only designed to provide 80% of what was required!!!

    Are you suggesting they're using inferior knicker elastic? No wonder their flights are usually delayed...

    We all love a rebrand!

    I see that O'Leary has told Boeing to get it's tulip together. That'll help.

    Once I saw the scale of the devastation, I did not venture out to the terminals yesterday! Made sure my badge was off when I went home, etc.
