Major Terror Alert In The UK

PHD wrote: I feel sorry for the parents of kids on a four plus hour flight. How do you keep them amused if there's no hand luggage or are crayons, felt tip pens considered dangerous? Will the humble watch be designated to the hold as well for fear of being a remote control?

Defo sad.

Absolute nightmare for those with kids, where would we be without Top Trumps, and colouring books!! Lets just hope on a lighter matter that the airlines look to provide the necessary things to make the journeys less tedious. I.E sweeties, pop and crisps for all, as well as some decent reading matter. Also, what about people on medication?? Just thought about that.

Apparently tablet form meds are allowed.

I think they'll have to section off a kids and no-kids area of aircraft. I'm with Bill Hicks, I'm not allowed to smoke cos it bothers other passengers, I find this perfectly acceptable, but only if I can fly without screaming fuckin wee'uns. No offence whatsoever to those who have the wee blighters.

You are right maybe. Sometimes I wonder if we are not feeling like the parents of our grand-parents before WWI. I was teached in school that people were happy to go to war by summer 1914. It was said that all would be over by the end of the year, if earlier. And people lived in the hell of tranchées for 4 years.

Right. Absolute nightmare for those with kids. Absolute nightmare for those without kids who will travel sitting next to the ones with kids. And more absolute nightmare for those without kids and on medication who will travel sitting next to the ones with kids.

+1. Oh, the happy days when I could smoke in the face of a "wee blighters" on a plane. "Wee blighters" should be banned from planes or pay extra-taxes for the inconveniance. I never understood the : under 2, journey free. And I think people should do like my parents did with me. They used to leave me by my grand-parents until the age of 6 when they travelled around. It must be hard to let the babies by someone if you go on holidays but I think it is a better option.

Nostrilfuckwitt sid it would be earlier this year I think, although i am sure his followers have double-think their way out of it.

Don't even THINK about what's happening, every neuron you fire over this, is a little victory for the tossers.

i shall consult my mayan calendar.

sorry, i get nothing here.

sack it now.

all your boring bastard comments are just too boring.

Speaking from experience, most hand luggage is just people trying to avoid paying excess baggage because they're carrying too much. I can't remember the last time I saw anybody take anything out of the overhead bins on a flight except their washbag.

No, I bring carry-on because I hate checking my luggage. If I can do it all in carry on (obviously not likely for long stays) then I do. It's also good to carry with you what you can't afford to have have lost, as checked baggage does get lost sometimes. I even heard no beverages, including bottled water (tough for me) and no drugs except prescription drugs. I am glad that I don't plan on flying till February. Even gladder that this plot was foiled! It seems like Intelligence is one thing the US doesn't do as well as many other countries.

i am increasingly of the opinion it's what we deserve, possibly even WANT. Bout time the cockroaches had a chance anyway, we've had a decent innings. We can let off all our bombs and germs and nastiness....give it a 100,000 years, a million, 10 million and this will again be a beautiful blue-green orb, and all the better without us.

That's exactly what I think...

Didn't someone predict 2012 as the end of the world? So it looks fine so far... Bombs, Volcanoes, Tsunamis, Earthquakes, dry periods...

I saw something on TV just a few days ago about 2012 being predicted as the end of the world. For the life of me, I can't remember who predicted it, though. I think it was maybe another interpretation of Nostrodamus's stuff?

Nostradamus ?

I think it was the South American indians...

That's it! I should've read all the posts before replying. I think it was the Aztecs. Man, I wish I had a better memory.

That's true. People thought WW1 would be a "fun" war, and they were horribly wrong, but I don't think too many people in the West have that opinion these days. Except maybe Bush.

Where you guys invading now then?

Aye, I don't think it counts as a WORLD war unless Bere's lot kick it off, France surrenders, Belgium gets flattened in the crossfire, we do all the fighting and the yanks weigh in late and make movies about how they won it until the end of time (in this case, about 3 days after it starts proper I should imagine)

Yeah, you like the way we Americans cracked Germany's Enigma cipher machine in U-571?

the mayans ?? is that a group of maya's

As a parent I COULD take absolute offence to this....but I completely agree, didn't take our kids on a plane until they were old enough to behave themselves, and if the don't one look is all it takes. There is nothing worse than screaming/badly behaved kids on a flight (or in a bloody restaurant!!!)

Excellent idea, segregated areas for kids and non kid travellers. Although, would that mean I have to put up with other peoples badly behaved monsters?

As someone without kids, I give this idea the thumbs up. Nice to know some people have consideration for others. Sometimes you almost need to take young chilren with you, like if you're going to visit relatives or something, but if you're going to the Riviera for the weekend, the kids don't need to be there.

Note, that I do not mind on a charter flight.

But on a regular flight, when the majority of passengers travel alone for business purposes, that is another matter.

do they just chuck laptop cases in the main luggage holdall.

time to check your All Risks insurance policy, if so.

I think the 8th Air Force might have a little something to say about that.......

WW3 is happening already...

Afghanistan, Iraq, Lebanon, parts of Africa- Overriding theme= Mainly Christian vs. Muslim wars, or should that be 'Bush sponsored Militarism vs. Countries he doesn't like' wars.

Also; isn't some kind of terrible solar flare on the cards for 2012??

The Rochester Airport is basically stating the following:

Passengers may not have liquids or gels of any size at the screening checkpoint or in the cabin of the aircraft. This includes beverages, shampoo, suntan lotion, creams, toothpaste, hair gel, and other items of similar consistency. Such items may be transported in checked baggage.

Passenger MAY have: baby formula, breast milk, or juice if a baby or small child is traveling, prescription medicine with a name that matches the passenger's ticket, insulin and essential other non-prescription medicines.

Beverages purchased in the sterile area (area after the screening checkpoint but before the gate) must be consumed before boarding the aircraft.

So, that answers my questions about the baby bottles, anyway.
