I'm currently sitting outside on our deck, overlooking the local marina and Grace Bay, which is ranked as one of the world's most beautiful beaches, watching the sun slip below the horizon, with the light Trade Winds at my back, and an ice cold rum and Coke at my side.  It's time to head inside for a shower, and to bundle the kids off to the "guest cottage" we have here for the night, so we can start our evening.  [8D]

Good night - Tithe. [&o][;)][&o]

i am going to go down there and kill you. i am stuck in a f****** server room for the 3rd day this week after hours.[:@]

I've done my share of time in server rooms. This is a bit of reward for that.

When you come down to kill me, please bring the beer tanker. [:'(]

Seems wierd not seeing Bob's avatar here. Proper decent guy he was. Hope he will be back one day, I had a lot of respect for him.

Mac, I believe that every person who is capable of respecting another person, and who crossed paths with Bob, has a lot of respect for him. [8D]

I do have white soled deck shoes with me, but I have been wearing my flip flops since I got off the plane. For the rest, I have worn a bathing suit since I arrived, but I do have my USN issue neckerchief that I could add for flair. [:D]

We can only imagine (and hopefully not even that[:D]). Uss America wandering around the decks in deck shoes, speedos, sailing hat and neckerchief [X(][X(][X(]

[F6frc]

No one should be out in public like that.

Thanks for the nightmarish visual![X(][X(][X(]

Holed Qantas plane in emergency landing at Manila

MANILA (Reuters)

A Qantas Airways plane made an emergency landing in Manila on Friday after plunging thousands of feet and losing cabin pressure during a flight from Hong Kong to Melbourne.

Passengers reported hearing a loud bang before the aircraft rapidly lost altitude and said the Boeing 747-400 had a hole the size of a mini-van in its undercarriage when it landed in the Philippine capital.

It was an amazing experience, but not a good one," Glenyce Johnson, 47, told Reuters. "The aircraft plunged from around 40,000 feet to 25,000 feet."

Qantas confirmed the loss of cabin pressure and the rupture in the airplane's fuselage and said all 346 passengers and 19 crew disembarked safely. The aircraft was being inspected.

Johnson, who was traveling home to Australia, saw items flying out of the plane. Oxygen masks were released.

"I have to compliment the pilot for doing a good job, for safely landing the plane."

QF30 left Hong Kong at 9 a.m. (9 p.m. EDT on Thursday) and was due to land in Melbourne at 9:45 p.m. (7:45 a.m. Friday). The flight originated in London.
