There was a bit of nonsense on here only last year about cutbacks to Airbus and we got onto the Airbus A380. Folk were saying the order book was viable into the 2020s and the cuts were down to Brexit. I merely pointed out that it was a dud from the start and always had been. Now it has been proven. On the bright side, the A380 extension to the runway at Ronaldsway can now be deferred. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's called "damage limitation" by the way. Happy To Help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back to the year 7 level of humour again. Have you any idea how this kind of masturbatory imagery projects you as a person? I had thought you were improving recently too. To continue your sad analogy though, the related word that comes to mind when considering the Guardian is flaccid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's more "Not the usual right-wing rubbish in thrall to the owner's agenda" which pretty much sums up the rest.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They made a bad business call aided by long billions of illegal taxpayer funded subsidies courtesy of the EU, which has now reached its inevitable denouement.

It's so pathetic it engenders sympathy more than anything else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
