Only the mind of Dave C would make a comment like that. All you medico types are the same aren't you?

G'day Chris,

 

I bet you remembered to go before the way home anyway... But after all those cups of coffee and BBQ, it makes things harder to Pre-Plan.. I think it's more just hoping for the best.

 

I had a good tailwind that day so only took 10 mins to get home.. haha

And what a great day it was! ;) Its amazing how supportive and inviting the flying fraternity is; with informal events like this happening all around the country... A great way to stay in touch and an excuse for another fly!

 

Cheers,

How to put a quick smile on your face!!

 

Decades ago, I was in a glider in the U.K.and found myself in the same situation.

 

When I mentioned my prikydickyment (deliberate spelling mistake) to the instructor, he simply reached down and produced a length of clear plastic tubing from the floor. As I was about to blow a gasket, I did what I had to do then asked whether the glider had a holding tank? He replied "no, your just spraying half the clean washing over Basingstoke, but if you don't tell anyone, I won't".

Decades ago I too was in a glider around lake Keepit.....a magic flight of EIGHT hours in which time mind managed to overcome matter. On landing at dusk, I was busting, however nothing would happen, leastways not for about another half hour.... when Percy eventually decided to anoint the porcelain, oh the pain.

 

How things have changed.... now the max. flying bladder time is a little over two hours (aircraft 7 hours) and with a crusing speed of 65 kts, one is careful to ensure suitable landing areas en route. Cessnock to narromine is interesting.

 

Cheers

Hi Juliette Lima. I have just been told by an Airbus A340 Captain friend of mine who flys long-haul that he reckons he has the answer.

 

He told me that he had a small minor operation a few years ago that ovecame the problem for him. As I understand it, the surgeon removed a hair from his nostril and sewed in on the end of his u know what, and when he is just about to blow a gasket ,it goes sniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiff. End of problem till after landing.

 

I do hope was being fair-dinkum. but being a Pommie (like me) i'm not always sure what is the truth, and what is humor, but it sure sounds good.

 

Regards

 

Alan

Sorry mate, but you must have read the instructions wrong. These things are to blow through to announce your arrival on finals when your radio has suffered incontinence.

I've been known to pee in a bottle on long flights. A very large neck obviously.

Slarti - was that with Virgin or Jetstar ??

 

 

[slartibartfast]

Must have been Jetstar Mike. I haven't done Virgin for a long time.;)

 

You're lucky I didn't need to go while you were in the Jab going back to Warnervale.

 

 

[Guest osprey5]

Slarti from what I'm hearing I did get off lightly and thank god I didn't need the apple juice ;) Hope the new plane is all you were expecting - it looks good in the avatar. Mike.
