  1. As a test, I’ll try again  now I’m home, and mobile is back on WiFi...

     Nope... still the same... telling me I can only upload 2.93mb. 

     

    How come it it worked the other night but not now, yet both pics taken on same device?

    the only difference is today was Outdoors!  LOL. 

    Sorry for being thick!

      

  2. I took a pic on my 'phone at the fans forum the other night, and posted it on here, all live at the scene, and all worked smoothly.

    Tried to do the same today, as I arrived at the stadium on my bike, but it came up with a message about maximum pic sizes (hinting at my pic being too large).  All on the same mobile.

    Now the internet/4G/signal thing was obviously slow, as it always is in and around the stadium (at least on match day), so would this be the cause, or have I done something wrong (even though the process was exactly the same as the other night.

    You bean Googling coffee puns?

    Yo, whats happening brew!  What’s Sumatra with you?  Don't you come decant with me, or I'll lose my tamper!

    If you think I have to google for puns, you'd be a mug.  Such accusations leave a bitter taste, and really grinds my gears.

    You do the tweets, I'll do the puns.  fair trade?

    Anyway, gotta go... Catch yer Latte.

    They did indeed each have a nice new shiny cream/beige saab saloon type car.  We used to wave most afternoons, as that Irish guy with the mop of curly hair* drove home to his posh new Oakwood pad.

    *He came as part of a pair.  The other one didn't get as many starts.  I've got the name Aiden McCaffery in my head, but I'm not convinced I have the right Irishman?  

    It's Just come to me...

    Billy Caskey was the lesser mate, and the guy we'd wave to most days was the inimitable Vic Moreland!  All hair and 'tache.  Like a poor man's Magnum p.i.  (Tom Selleck) 

    I seem to remember they were either conjoined twins, or married, as they kept getting transferred as a pair!  LOL!

     

    Those Saabs were the envy of the football star world, back in the day!

    Does anyone know why players aren't insured against these sort of tragic - but extremely rare - eventualities?

    I can imagine they are, but that early into a contract, it might not have been sorted out yet. I definitely think a lot of people will be learning some lessons from this situation and a few standard practices will be changed as a result. Getting insurance in place before the contract is signed will probably be top of the list. 

    Youll always have people risking it for a biscuit though, on deadline day. Get the contract signed but for the love of god wrap him in cotton wool til we get the insurance in place. 

    I'd agree with the above... although I'm only guessing, of course.

    I'm also of the understanding that, last time I read up on this story, a potential stumbling block appeared to include mention of alleged non-passenger licence/unqualified pilot etc.  A chartered flight with BA it was not!

    Regardless of  any contracts, insurances being in place, and whoever arranged the flight etc, it may yet prove that said insurance would/could be invalid anyway.

    I do believe "investigations continue", of course!

    Of course if "The Football Family"  actually gave a poo about one another as much as the outpourings of grief purport,  they'd quite easily have found a way to cover the transfer fee on behalf of Cardiff with a chunk left over for Salah's family.

     

    There's snow way I'd be happy for DCFC to plough money into that particular whip-round!  Feckem!

    This badass is my dog's brother - best working dog winner at Crufts today. I'm actually not a massive fan of Crufts and that kind of dog showing, but my boy is proper champion stock and I'll be cheering 'Dave' on on Sunday where he's up for best in show.

    Not a massive dog lover, but "I don't mind" them.

    However, if I ever had a dog, I'd...

    I always liked the Scottish Lorne sausage, when i used to work up there many moons ago.

    I used to love that Scottish square sausage some cafes offer... but I had to stop ordering it as the woman behind the counter always took the pith out of my lisp!

    I haven't read all of this post and I might be barking up the wrong tree.

    But I am pretty sure the rules governing this flight would come under the CAA/FCAA not the FAA (Like I said I might be wrong and I am sure the rules are similar) FAA governs the USA and also covers several other countries.

    UK - CAA

    France - FCAA

    Can't remember, as what I read has now left my brain again!

    I recall something about state of ownership/state of registration, blah, blah, option to throw it over to someone else etc (as to who carries out the investigation, and under which governing bodies).  It's all in the first few paragraphs of the linked report.

    What I can say though, is that all the wording in italics (in my post) was taken from the linked pdf (posted by @RamNut, top of this page), which appears to be the official report from official investigators... thus far!
