The grim reaper is properly swinging his scythe through MiL’s village this week. I think we’re up to four now.
I remember when I was 18/19 in my village there was a straight row of five houses, from prefabs to a 12 bedroom ex hotel where they all died within a fortnight.
Shitty weather, the same age group congregate, one looks at what’s happened to another. Weird how this stuff happens.
I have two friends who respectively had an uncle and father pass away unexpectedly today. I’ve also heard of other deaths via the social grapevine.
The weather’s been pretty mild this year I think. I don’t recall hearing of so many deaths first thing in Jan.
Flu is taking a lot of elderly people around here.
COVID too. No-one’s taking it seriously this year, and jabs are unobtainium locally.
Easy enough to get if you fudge the truth on the Online booking form.
Apparently 
My dad and his two brothers all died within 3 weeks in 1966
Their ages were approx around 50.
Thank fuck! People that dislike profanity are cunts anyway… 
Boeing 737 Max the plane that just keeps giving 
Looks like it was a decommissioned emergency exit that blew out
This one was pretty much fresh out of the factory. Delivered to Alaska Airlines 31st October 2023 and first commercial flight 11th November 2023.
Not great news for Boeing especially with the ongoing delays to the 777x as well.
I feel they were lucky to only be at 16k’ and not up to full speed - had that not been the case I suspect we’d be at the “The search for bodies continues…” stage.
Boeing are properly useless, lying cunts.
Strayans have always known that 
Hmmm.
Will read properly later as up at silly AM…

Not heard this before!
more bad news for Boeing, they really need to sort out their QA issues.
When you think of all the countless ways of locking nuts and bolts in place - from split pins to high-tech glues - how the shitting fuck does something like this happen? Not least to an aircraft with a shitty safety record in its short life - the Airbus equivalent has no fatal crashes in a notably longer lifespan!
But only a 9% drop in share price - who in the financial sector gives a fuck?
re-read article and was mistaken.
Wonder if a sizeable percentage of share price is locked in due to military/space contracts. Although lots of issues with many of those.
It’s important to remember that trading in things likes stocks and shares is just posh gambling for the ultra rich. Don’t expect it to make much sense. And Boeing is basically a ‘too-big-to-fail’ company - so if things get bad enough, the US Govt will bukkake $billions of public money all over them…
