In October 2008 I was on board a Qantas flight QF72 from Singapore to Perth, having been in the UK for the birth of my Granddaughter.
Having flown this route many times over the 40yrs I have never encountered anything that was about to happen, sitting with my seat belt on and monitoring our journey on the TV screen we were 1hr 47min from landing in Perth when the Airbus 330 on board computer system (Air Data Inertial Reference Unit - ADIRU) decided to take control and put the aircraft into a nose drive, this happened twice in a small space of with people thrown from their seats into the bulk heads causing quite a lot of injuries some very serious.
The Captain came on and said he had no physical control of the aircraft and had issued a Pan Pan Pan which then went to a Mayday, I looked at my screen and saw the landing time was now 13mins and we were circling over the Indian Ocean my first thoughts was he’s going to put this aircraft on the sea as none of the local airfields could handle an aircraft of this size, but the pilot managed to land it at an RAAF base, that man was a bloody hero he saved a lot of people's lives that day.
Lesson for us all wear your seat belt when flying, Qantas name their aircraft after Cities and this one was called Kununurra and is still flying today.
On a positive note, we manage to get back twice a year for at least 4 or 5 games. |

I think it looks sh1t we have a great shirt at the moment and the standout red in the shirt is good. Yet again another bloody betting company so it means that the kids buying the shirts cannot get the real deal as they can’t advertise betting.
I was under the impression that after our last debacle with a betting sponsor we had decided to move away from this kind of sponsorship |

Thread | Streaming help needed
at 09:20 6 Jan 2024
I would like some help in finding a stream for today’s game, I have exhausted every avenue in trying to find the game but no joy, living in Australia we can get the game on Paramount+ but seeing as I took the option for a free trail last year when we played Fleetwood and then canceled after the match they have blocked me from signing up again, I even tried using the wife’s email address and they still blocked it. So here’s hoping someone can help me, Many thanks Urrssssss |

Yet again another superb report, I really look forward to reading your reports Clive it's the only thing that's kept me sane all of these years.
Regarding the marking I fully agree with your MoM but based over the 90mins I thought JCS had his best game for us he marshaled the backline and won several crucial headers I felt that he deserved an 8 at least based over the 90mins, with Cook to come back alongside him we may have at long last got a backline that we can build from.
Keep up the good work Clive and if you fancy a break in the sunshine you're welcome down here at anytime. |

England’s performance in the field has been very poor, bowling has been undisciplined and poor Curran has been one of the worse regarding his overs and discipline, he bowls a poor ball and then a red mist comes over absolutely no shape in the balls that follow |

Laughed by balls off with that statement total quality,
"Difficult to tell under there. Pray for Darragh Lenihan, one minute expecting to win a routine ball in the air the next trapped in a Tina Turner video"
Once again other great write up Clive and you got to see us get 3 points away now let's do it at home. |

Thanks Boston your impute is as excellent as ever, Glad Armstrong got that first goal hopefully it will now lead to a more, his awareness and pull back for Paal to score was top drawer long may that continue. |

This is total utter crap can someone remind them that the friendlies finished last week, Watford are treating this as if its a training session they are just walking through us picking out players and we are clueless |

Very poor we get the bloody ball and it just bypasses the midfield, Willock, Chair & Richards have hardly seen the ball and Dykes is just isolated up front on his own, it’s going to be a long season very very poor |
