Triller, No airline staff here. Over the past 30 years, I have flown to every continent, through all weathers on around 1,000 individual flights.

Grow a spine and admit that you screwed up because you were too arrogant to listen to the safety advice given on every flight.

Triller, I am sorry but I have absolutely zero sympathy for you and anyone else injured on this flight (except cabin staff who often need to be moving around when the seat belt light is on)

WHY should it be necessary for staff to "enforce seat belt policy".

The pre-flight…

Living in Nagano, it never fails to amuse me how much fuss is made every winter when Tokyo gets even 1mm of snow.

It never fails to make the headlines on NHK.

I'm with cleo on this one.

My wife and I adopted our daughter here 10 years ago as a baby. My wife would have liked nothing better than to have felt a baby growing inside her, it would have been hers no matter who the genetic parents were.

There is…

Just to lighten up a bit, I'm not sure if any non-Brits reading this know who the "real" Alf Garnett was. (try a Google search)

All I can say is, AlfGarnett, thanks for taking on that nickname whoever you are and keep up the excellent posts in the spirit of…

I hate it when I hear these stories.

Just one more thing that proves there is no god.

RIP little one

Cat5,

The amazing part about all the posts from the peanut gallery is how brits blame everyone else except themselves...the individual. It's always the governments fault isn't it? Do you people rely on your government to tell you how to live your life or something? Apparently so!

You obviously are…

The Ironic thing about this story is that the headline includes the story from The Sun newsp... no scratch that, The Sun toilet paper which has probably done more to destroy morality in the UK over the last 30 years.

By paying ridiculous sums of money for this story, they…

Soldave, So you are a US citizen then? Then you wouldn't be fingerprinted visiting the US.

For the rest of the world, anyone visiting the US is treated like a terrorist suspect even before they leave their own home.

Lizz, And some of the reason why Japan has not had…

taiko666,

I spent most of my time in Suffolk and the last couple of years of my time in the UK was in Peterborough. Not exactly well known hotspots of crime but I've got friends all over the UK. It doesn't really matter where you go - crime in the…
