As long as it's not a cross.
Boom boom - Catesby did a funny
Wow, a good post from Catesby. Do my eyes deceive me?
TONY BLAIR HAS BEEN ARRESTED
There. I have said it. And when it happens, I will claim an exclusive.
On another subject - it would be crass, cynical and despicable at this time of sharing public grief with the Son of the Manse, to suggest that he is entering head-to-head with Cameron on the Disabled Child Stakes.
Nice idea, have shamelessly 'borrowed' it.
Excellent work - BA don't seem to have much luck do they ? Could things get any worse ?
No doubt as their old PR guru left before the cross fiasco, they will be headhunting a new one.
Someone with courtesy, tact, diplomacy and experience of running large, complex organisations while the boss is away...
and someone who is likely to be out of a job in the not too distant future..
experience of dealing with the unions and a predominantly female work force a distinct advantage...
Failing that there's always Alistair Campbell...
Oooh glow in the dark aeroplanes...funny that nobody has been routinely checking aircraft anyway...
Or doesn't the govt know what a dirty-bomb-built-by-naughty-people is?
Charity commission to investigate the Smith Institute:

I have said before that pilot and co-pilot should join passengers in Christian prayer before take-off........they do say that long-haul high-altitide flying exposes one to more radiation - but I think they meant gamma not alpha
Must try harder Catesby. Downloading a clipart radiation symbol shows insufficient application.
You could at least have cut and pasted the symbol onto a plane.
And better yet included a burqa-wearing bomber holdign a nuke sitting in the plane
class!!
if BA can find someone to sue for this they may just clear their pension deficit and then their workforce(and I use the term loosely) can all retire at forty and do as little as they have in their working lives.
I hear the football chant echoing around me
'you're not public sector anymore'
Will passengers be allowed to take Geiger Counters on board as hand luggage?
You can't wear a cross but radiation suit is optional.
I would have gone for a prone stick man in a pool of radiation sickness bleed-out.
Guido/Catesby, here's a replacement pic for the clipart if you want it.
If you do want it,please don't run it from my server - copy it to your own host please :

So you can't get a bottle of water or a pair of nail-clippers on a plane, but you can get Polonium-210 as used in nuclear bomb triggers. So thats alright then.
This is bullshit
Polonium-210 emits alpha rays and is harmelss (unless ingested)it wouldnt be traceable on the aircraft.
Personaly I couldnt give a fuck if Putin did murder Duncan Goodhew.
slap headed twat!
Fuck I'm flying with them on Saturday....I might end up a green hedgy....
Pete @12.39 What's bullshit? That you can't get nail clippers on a BA flight, but deadly poison is ok (250 billion times as toxic as Cyanide according to wikipaedia)? A new definition of the word "harmless" that I was previously unaware of.
anyone butblair
I meant that whater radioactive traces have been found on the BA aircraft will not be the poison used.
And even if it were , do you think that the FSB fly the worlds favourite airline carrying poison?
This is a red herring.
Where you going to Hedgy?
Yes, I'm surprised about all this radioactive traces stuff.
Do they know that cigarettes contain Polonium-210 from Radium decay in fertiliser, and this has been linked as one of the possible causes of cancer from smoking? Its only a trace amount, yes, but I can't imagine they are finding anything other than a trace amount on the planes...
Or perhaps someone put their geiger counter a bit near to the smoke detectors (which contain Americium-241, another alpha emitter with a much longer half-life, and even more deadly than Polonium).
PS - If you'd like some of the stuff for yourself, try here:
http://www.unitednuclear.com/
No import the UK, mind. Perhaps Guido could aquire some whilst he's over there?
(Only in trace amounts, though - not enough to poison someone)
You can also obtain your useful Christmas nuclear supplies here:

It's the wrath of God at work. Before too long, all flight attendants will grow tails and poppy-out eyes, and they wont be able to conceal THAT underneath their uniforms.

All very interesting, to be sure, but please keep your sexual preferences to yourself.
Fuller you always have to bring S.E.X into everything.
No wonder you're such a hit with the ladies of Scotton pinkey.
this is very boring today...can't our lord and master come up with something more interesting, or is his brain/contacts/willy in decline....
Boarding a flight from Munich last Sunday , dark blue tailleur, thin tights, heels, gloved, I was required to remove my gloves! About to protest I looked round and saw that people going through the boarding gates were in extraordinary states of undress - bare feet, tieless, beltless trousers held up with one hand while pockets were emptied with the other, shivering in thin blouses while jackets were scrunched into creased hulks by (gloved, dirty-gloved at that) men and women shouting orders and waving nasty looking lengths of black plastic baton all over people clutching see-through plastic bags with their medicines inside; so I removed my gloves. I'm still cross that anyone can tell me to take my gloves off but what about all those others subjected to such gross indignities? And what for when BA are flying radioactive murder weapons into Heathrow.
fly Ryan Air, same process but much cheaper....
Hatfield girl,
Were they black leather gloves?
How high were the heels?
As a security expert/Doctor/right wing polemicist this information could be invaluable to my research and of benefit to Humanity.
As a researcher, Peter, I'm not sure what areas you intend to examine...but are you qualified to do this?
Someone's old glow in the dark watch obviously got brock and now some jumped up health and safety nazi is panicking that the BA fleet is made out of bits of the old Windscale works.
Absolutely typical. I bet Air France probably phoned it in too.
At least Old Branson would just issue NBC kit and extra portions of red wine, and let the passengers get on with it.
Could be worse, you know. The US is now flying the remains of their fallen soldiers back in the baggage compartments of commercial flights. NOT what you want to see bumping up against some college kid's duffle bag at the carousel.
One favourite song post-Falklands War was 'Pack Up Your Brother In Your Old Kit Bag', where an Argentinian had been stopped boarding the ship home to the motherland when troops discovered that he had the mangled remains of his brother packed away in his kit.
Raincoaster's comment reminded me of that.
raincoaster - good spot, almost worth a note to Private Eye's Funny Old World.
