Round up the pigeons in Bangkok. Take them into the countryside, and release. I'm taking bets on this, as I've seen it tried before.

To be frank, never seen too many pigeons in BKK, one suspects the exhaust fumes kills them  ...what happens if they are homing pigeons they will fly back to BKK |

Where I worked a few of the plants had a pigeon problem.Shit everywhere. So it was decided to sedate them put them in cages and send them over the border to Liverpool in trucks. First mistake was they had chicks to feed. The birds were back in Huddersfield before the trucks.
The plants had big extraction fans on the walls, and they ran at 1500 rpm. Every now and again as you were walking past these sheds you'd get showered in feathers as a pigeon tried to fly through the fan.

To be honest personally never had a bad flight Intra-Africa..had some interesting ones...but bad ? No... Scariest was a flight from Phalaborwa to JHB on an ATR-72 ( pretty much a puddle jumper) in a very bad thunderstorm..thought it was my last night on earth...when the pilot got the plane on the ground in JHB, everybody was cheering, when we were getting ready to get off the pilot came off the flight deck to a standing ovation, he was soaking with sweat and a look of relief on his face, heard him say something along the lines it was the worst storm he had ever flown in Most amusing was a jolly on the company geo-suvey plane an old DC-47, which was going in for engine upgrade/replacement, so the boys took it up for a last flight over JHB and surrounds and i blagged a trip what i didnt at the time was that the DC-47 was very similar to a VW beetle, if it aint leaking oil, there is no oil in it...Uncle soutie sitting in his seat looking out the window and sees a stream of oil p**sing out of a " bit " on plane...panic..we are going crash..rushes to the flight deck... gents we are leaking...ah it will be ok, dont worry...fk dont worry...come and look..oh fk off ya daft kant Soutie...we are not going to crash, these fkers leak all the time, as long as those big fans keep turning we are good Best day on plane.."flying" a Zlin Z 42 two seater trainer....buddy of mine owned one and into aerobatics, took me up one friday afternoon over JHB, some aerobatics, never vomited, and grinning ear to ear... Right Soutie, get hold of that stick in front of you, right you got it, comfortable with that...now feet on the peddles...slowly slowly bring her round...what an afternoon.. |

My brother at one time was tasked with checking accident stats, and comparing them with our overseas subsiduaries. He looked at an Indian site. Stats for all sorts of injuries except feet. Intigued he got in touch. They didn't provide safety boot, so didn't count foot injuries.

This is one of the problems, HSE is a self perpetuating, self serving load of BS simply because the vast majority or so called "safety officers" Safety Advisors" Safety Specialist" or what ever buzz word job title they given themselves dont have a fking clue about holistic and practical safety management... 1 week they were a fking barista in Starfks, do a 10 day NEBOSH course, manage to pass an exam, and all of sudden they are employed as a fking safety advisor on some site or go forbid offshore running around causing mayhem tell everyone "my book says your doing it wrong" or put ya safety glasses one while the silly fker is standing under a suspended load I have no issue with safety programs per se and i am big supporter, but i am very anti employing incompetant people on the basis of a bit of paper, and the HSE racket seems to be full of complete tossers..in my 30 odd years in heavy engineering/Engineering, can count the number of good safety guys i have come across on one hand, in the number is 4 |

Wow wowee....I've met a real Spitfire pilot!! Tell us about it Smokes, honestly, I am genuinely interested. About 5 years ago I was in a songthaew , which belonged to the in-laws as a transport for their farm hands. On that day we were on a field trip going to a temple which was about 2 hours away from my wife's Sakhon Nakorn house and we stopped off in a village along the way to pick up a very old lady (90+). It turned out that she was an active member of the Vichi Thai (Thai resistance) during WW2. Had to have some translation help but she was the most interesting person that I have ever met ( and yes I have met both RGS and Maggie (God bless her)). |
