    So glad to hear your post. Eye opener visiting here. I am not a good traveller as you know, but without SY02 to keep me in check I feel a bit exposed. I should not be allowed near sharp objects if truth be told.

    Touch typing is ok so maybe there's hope for me yrerdfdt, sorry, yet. :-)

    On my way back

    Having to touch type at the airport as this is a cyrillic keyboard. LOL. Flying back home tonight and get back in to sunny Luton at 8:10pm. Paid 10UAH to get the internet access just to post (how sad am I?)

    Missing you all.

    Chuffing cold out here btw. -16 last night and not a smidge over -8 in the daytime.

    1. A Jumbo Jet weighs more than an elephant
    2. There are 1800 thunderstorms on Earth at any given moment
    3. There are 8.5 million lightning strikes on Earth every single day, (p.s. a bolt of lightning always hits the highest point)
    4. There's also a lot of mad Libyan terrorists about
    5. And don't forget those Iraqi's - they're still livid
    6. The distance between the wing-tips of a Boeing 747 is longer than the first flight made by the Wright brothers, but shorter than the Irish football team's passing game
    7. A plane can also cut wood. It can scythe down one square mile of trees when it crashes into a forest
    8. All the world's airlines demand a copy of the Irish football team's fixture list, so that their aeroplanes can avoid the stadiums where Ireland are playing
    9. Chaos Theory, also known as Sod's Law, predicts that if you are terrified of flying that you take a train or ship instead, a 747 will probably crash on your carriage or recreation deck
    10. The whole fleet of Air Europe recently went down - in one single night

    You probably won't want to look at this site then.

    Their accident database is very good and I find the low number of incidents involving first world airlines over the last twenty years or so quite a comfort.
