Also they’re not designed for a few hour’s kip, or hiding out from screaming kids. The 8,200 nm range on a 380 equates to almost 17 hours flying time. You’re flying with an entire second crew (12 spaces) down there to take over mid-flight, and two replacement pilots sleeping behind the cockpit.

Probably fun for someone, but I just couldn’t! This is the first car I remember i our driveway - grey 1600E estate.

You make this seem like some amazing new concept, Stef. These have been on long haul planes since the introduction of the 747-400s and A330/40s, because the extended range of the planes meant the flight time could exceed a crew’s allowable work hours.

Same for my friend. Car decided to beat the bus from a junction on the driver’s side, so the first he knew was the bus slamming on the brakes and shattering his lower arm on the corner…

You are; they’re not!

A friend of mine did that in college, using the back of a bus…

It’s a pity this is genuinely funny, and so ineligible for COTD!

I was just coming to post that Quantas shot!

I have always loved these, but that’s over six times the asking price in Europe! Even with shipping costs, you’d still be at least $15K ahead…

Closer to twice. 3,640 of Her Majesty’s pounds, which apparently was 5,612.83 of your funny money!

Considering last week’s University Challenge had a team of Cambridge geniuses claiming the solo to Stairway to Heaven was Oasis, I despair for the world!

$10K? I thought everyone knew the going rate was a petrol cap for a Lada!

Based on this rolling short circuit, I’d have said 90% of the voters were electrical engineers…

Forget the pipe; $8K is crack house territory!

No! We’ve got those too, and I’m still paying half of the low-end quotes being listed…

It’s the Land of the Fleeced and the Home of the Broke!

And I’m pissed off because mine will probably be over €500 this year? I’ll think of you and laugh when the renewal arrives!

The finer people at Cosworth would like to slap both of you for stealing their idea!
