Second Jeju Air 737-800 experiences mechanical issues following deadly crash

I'm a local and not worried about that. The approach from the south does fly near the docks but not over them. It virtually follows the River Itchen from the dockhead where the Itchen joins Southampton Water all the way to the airport although the river ceases to be large and tidal around a kilometer short of the runway.

In 1993 a Cessna Citation 500 twin-engined jet did overrun the runway at Southampton and burst into flames after hitting cars on the M27. Full story here https://tinyurl.com/2bp9mwkl

Email seems lost in the post? You might be a Tsohost customer

Re: SFU

I joined tsohost at the very start more than 10 years ago. The finest hosting company on the planet! Then they sold out and it's been downhill ever since. Each time it got worse I thought that was the bottom of the hill only for them to screw up more. I got out around 18 months ago and moved my domains to krystal.uk They're just like tsohost were 10 years ago - the greatest. I just hope they don't sell out too.

Software update turned my display and mouse upside-down, says user

I've no idea what key combination actives 'Landscape (flipped)' in Display settings but my 2 year old grandson hits the right combination within seconds of getting at my keyboard when my attention is elsewhere. I always struggle to right click on the mouse and manoeuvre it around when everything is reversed. Never thought of turning the mouse around, I usually try and turn my head upside down!

The ultimate full English breakfast – have your SAY

Three essentials

1. Plain, really plain, sausages. Herbs have no place on the breakfast plate.

2. A big flat open mushroom fried stalk side up and not turned over so that the juices remain trapped in the mushroom.

3. A fully cooked tomato, even a bit burnt is nice, but never just slightly warmed raw tomato.

Florida Man sues Verizon for $72m – for letting him commit identity theft

Are we all trying to forget our own British idiocy? For starters I offer the claim by a Police Officer, who when answering a 999 call to a petrol station, tripped on a kerb on the premises. The compensation claim claimed that the owner of the petrol station failed to keep her safe as she investigated the possible break-in.
