    Unfortunately his experienced was somewhat marred on the very first leg. He went to the bog and when he got back to the cockpit, the German captain was sat there nonchalantly "knocking one out". Don't think I'd have fancied spending 4 days in a tin can at 2000 feet with him
    pfffff that's nothing, was he eating spaghetti at the time?

    Sounds like he took the name a bit too seriously.

    I'll skip the joy, as MP says, some people openly admit it's not what they want. I will gladly put up with other people's kids as long as I don't have to babysit
