Scrape

The final posting in this weeks 'Take-offs and Landings' series is the recent footage of a Lufthansa flight from Munich making it's first attempt to land at Hamburg during Hurricane Emma. Even though it's left wing scrapped the tarmac, I understand that it successfully touched-down on the second attempt.

Currently Enjoying

Currently Boycotting

  • British Gas
    ...for massively overestimating our final bill, issuing a threatening debt collection letter (despite me calling them three times to tell them they got it wrong), making us pay the incorrect amount until they 'resolved' the problem, and then allowing another debt collection agency to write to us asking for a random amount. Since then, they have cold-called me a couple of times asking if I was interested in hearing about their current 'special offers'. Er, no thank you.
  • Clip Art
    ...for just being.
  • Coca Cola
    ...for their involvement in the kidnap, torture and murder of employees and union leaders at their columbian bottling plants. No, really!
  • Domino's Pizza
    ...for (former owner) Tom Monaghan's anti-abortion stance.
  • Enterprise Rent-a-Car
    ...for telling me literally one hour before i was due to pick up a hired van that there was no van available.
  • Home Delivery Network
    ...for leaving a cardboard package fullof books and DVDs in our back garden for over twenty-four hours, in the pouring rain. No common sense - it is noly through luck it was not totally damaged (or even stolen).
  • Nestle
    ...for continuing to promote their baby formula over breastfeeding in the world's poorer countries.
  • Plug-in Air Fresheners
    ...for being the biggest waste of the planet's resources. Does your room smell? Then why open a window when you can buy a small plastic device that requires further expense in re-fills and electricity?
  • UnicaHome
    ...for totally letting me down over Christmas; I ordered a product from them as a present for a friend in October; in December, they said they would finally ship it to me, but have not responded to my numerour emails since then. Utter cowboys.
