Can't. Not a comfortable flyer. Jeanette says the problem is I'm such a f*****g anorak that I know every noise and vibration on the bloody aircraft and I'm waiting for one I don't recognise. I just can't help but imagine any aircraft as several thousand components, flying in close formation, assembled by the lowest bidder.
Don’t be such a woos, just think about it, no man hole covers, drunk drivers, diesel spills, sheep, hidden boys in blue or car owners with noddy dogs and trilby hats on the parcel shelf to worry about. Just the jet lagged, stopover hotel room partied out, wrong prescription goggle eyed pre-madonna flight crew who’s only real safety concern is how to get into bubble headed cabin crew Cindy’s shreddies without getting caught out. Plus they will always reassure you that everything is under control, even in my case a few years ago when with one engine already down, the captain spoke calmly over the pa system telling everyone that the aircraft can fly just as well with only one engine, followed by an over heard whispered conversation that they might have to close down the other engine, closely followed by a very fast ear popping descent into the closest available airport, sitting in row two watching the girls strap themselves in so tight to their jump seats that I swear one cracked a rib. But still they kept smiling even though the terror in their eyes gave the game away as the message about adopting the brace position, head between legs kissing your arse goodbye. But I am still here to tell the tail. Never did get any compensation for my laundry bill though. Safe as houses mate, safe a houses.
The thing is, if I fall off the bike, I've already hit the ground before I've had the chance to think about how far away it is. If I fall off an aeroplane...
I have gotta concede that one for now purely on lack of personal knowledge having fallen of a bike a few times but not a plane yet, if I do I will pm to your afterlife address: Kapone@fcukitsabithotdownhere. hell and let you know my considered response.
Cheers mate that would be good. Whenever I take off I look the window and think 'I'd survive a fall from here.......I'd break an ankle from here........I'd shatter both femurs from here but it's survivable....... quadriplegic at worse.......oh f**k'. LOL.
i wish I could, but it draws me. Like a hair on a fit bird's chin, it draws me. Everything we truly are frightened of compels us too. That's why I've got a 150 mph motorbike.
Only 150mph, must be a repsol, my black one is much faster than that. Here we go again, TAKE COVER, IN COMING ! !
I once fell out of a perfectly good aircraft. Amazing experience and would have carried on if funds had allowed. Oh to jump out on a snowboard......
