Would it be a good time to nationalise BA and compensate IAG with 2d a share?

Zero hours with crews expected to assemble at airports from which they will be selected for flights.
That would be pretty bad for moral...

Good to see the FSW is looking after their side of the business and BA can go to the wall.
Has anyone got the dimensions of FSW’s neck as I think my blade machine may need a dimension change for the neckrest.

It’s Wee Willie that’s decided to take the Spanish Government money, so you might need a bolster seat for him :D
When all else fails, read the instructions.

I will consult my cervix experts on that and report back when able. I may have to go back to the drawing board on the neckrest, headcatcher and EU-compatible blood collection system design. Meantime, donning the burka for my illegal bikeride so if I don’t come back, you can have my egg.

I was referring to definition # 1 as per the attached dictionary specification;

https://www.dictionary.com/browse/cervix

What COULD you possibly have been thinking?🤔

Although the other name for WW and the FSW is more or less adjacent...

Indeed, it was called after that, not the other way around.

Very occasionally my associates learn something completely useless as I’m clearing out my memory cache of the 100,000 pieces of crap which have gathered there and congealed.
Beware, more might spill onto the floor full of rubbish before I’m finished, in all senses of the word?!
