    This is doing the rounds on Facebook at the moment :)

    You could make a whole jelly and it would keep for ages in the fridge, far longer than your lettuce leaves.

    Trick is to have different salads each day, rather than a bit of everything all the time.

    Is the idea not to have a slice of the banoffee pie, cherry pie and chocolate cake, thus inadvertantly having 2 of your 5 a day in one sitting?

    On a serious note though, having a bit of all the salad on a kebab does make me feel better about eating it for dinner tonight, even though it probably shouldn't.

    It was a Guinness World Record attempt at the Budapest air show.

    I like Wizz.....Ryanair money for (IMO) better service and an extra inch of seat width (being the A320 over B737). They serve the regions better than anyone else, too (although I have to admit I have booked several flights with Ryanair to Timisoara as they're a lot cheaper at the moment)

    Never underestimate the ability of NPs to track you down and turn up for cake. We operate a "self invited" system here, based on some solid stalking techniques we've built up over years of practice.

    :)

    On the other hand, I'd first calculate the cost of the fuel/drive and then convert that into how many pies I could buy with that money ... and decide it's not for me.

    You're about a "75 Pies" distance. As a rule of thumb, more than 2 pies and you're safe.
    I seem to remember that Greece used to put direction signs with distances in cigarettes. There's an odd website about such units including the attoparsec ( about an inch) and the microfortnight (1.2 seconds) or the nanocentury (pi seconds).;)

    That's brilliant! I think I've heard of the site before but never visited.

    In Aus we measure distance as the amount of time it will take to get there, for example I live about 3.5 hours away from Canberra which I guess is similar to our Greek hero on a donkey.

    I shred lettuce, drizzle it with olive oil, then chuck a load of pasta over it!

    Right! Got a date with a plane! (Shower time!)

    It must be an American site - there's no reference to Nelson's Columns nor London buses :rotfl:

    Why do they have the wheels down? Does that make it less noisy in the cockpit, as otherwise there'd be alarms going off?

    And why no flaps?
    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?
