Vietnamese authorities say they are mystified as to who owns a Boeing 727 which has been abandoned at Hanoi's Noi Bai airport.
The plane was flown in from Siem Reap in neighbouring Cambodia in late 2007 and has been unclaimed ever since.
i think if we all clubbed together we could afford it. I hear a Mr Troutie in particular is a high flying dee jay and could afford something like this on his pocket money.

I notice a little note at the bottom of each page here which says Metropol is carbon neutral - I think you can kiss that goodbye if you go and buy a plane.

Sod carbon neutrality. It's utter bullshit. Let's take to the skies, I say!
Balls to the rainforests, too.

Kittens are very flammable though, foom and it's dust in 30 seconds. Almost as fun as burning magnesium except magnesium doesn't scream when you burn it.

It does if you're burning it atop a kitten

They're neither sustainable nor carbon neutral?

Oooh yes!! I'm emptying my penny jar as we speak. Dicky Branson be afraid! Metropol airlines has a certain ring to it. I can see Mr Nick as a pilot. I bet he'd look rather spiffing in the uniform. We're defo not short of glamorous and camp stewards and stewardesseses. And i'm sure between us we'll have a catalogue of idents on a continuous loop for on board entertainment.

Aw, it's not nice to know yet another cat doesn't like you because you feel their species is self-serving and inherently bad juju to have around and that's without making off-colour jokes.
Still, it's not me, it's just what I observe and if you must blame anyone for charred kittens, blame Nick as he possibly did it because someone didn't reduce their carbon footprint, the zealous fools.
Today I have lost the like of a cat.

There's a kitty surplus? Always did wonder why this year there's been a distinct lack of foxes but plenty of cats around.
