Qantas Repair Division - Friday joke

After every flight, Qantas pilots fill out a form, called a 'Gripe Sheet'
which tells mechanics about problems with the aircraft. The mechanics
correct the problems; document their repairs on the form, and then pilots
review the Gripe Sheets before the next flight.

Never let it be said that ground crews lack a sense of humour.

Here are some maintenance complaints submitted by Qantas' pilots
(marked with a P) and the solutions recorded (marked with an S) by maintenance engineers.



P: Left inside main tire almost needs replacement.
S: Almost replaced left inside main tire.

P: Test flight OK, except auto-land very rough.
S: Auto-land not installed on this aircraft.

P: Something loose in cockpit.
S: Something tightened in cockpit.

P: Dead bugs on windshield.
S: Live bugs on back-order.

P: Autopilot in altitude-hold mode produces a 200 feet per minute
 Descent.
S: Cannot reproduce problem on ground.

P: Evidence of leak on right main landing gear.
S: Evidence removed.

P: DME volume unbelievably loud.
S: DME volume set to more believable level.

P: Friction locks cause throttle levers to stick..
S: That's what friction locks are for.

P: IFF inoperative in OFF mode.
S: IFF always inoperative in OFF mode.

P: Suspected crack in windshield.
S: Suspect you're right.

P: Number 3 engine missing.
S: Engine found on right wing after brief search.

P: Aircraft handles funny........... (I love this one!)
S: Aircraft warned to straighten up, fly right, and be serious.

P: Target radar hums.
S: Reprogrammed target radar with lyrics..

P: Mouse in cockpit.
S: Cat installed.

And the best one for last..................

P: Noise coming from under instrument panel. Sounds like a midget pounding
    on something with a hammer.
S: Took hammer away from midget.

Friday

Ahh, Finally Friday

After a long week of working in the entertainment industry with the chance to view a few yet to be released movies its finally getting closer for me to be able to wind down after a long week and enjoy a brewski & steak.

I am unsure as to how i will get through the weekend without a set line up of exercises for the day.

Eagerly awaiting Matts Blog Update Andy

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 1

SPOILER ALERT

Firstly if you are a harry potter fan beware of what you are about to read! i don't want to spoil the new movie for you!!

I won't say where i work or how i know the following information but due to my position i have been able to see a copy of the upcoming movie and i am confused about its ending.

After over 2 hours of viewing what i can only describe as amazing... (maybe even worth the long wait)
i am confused about why Harry dies at the end and how they are still going to make another movie named Harry Potter, about Harry Potter but without Harry Potter?
Will the last instalment be purely flash backs showing Harry as a younger gent?

The ending does not give light to resurrection of Harry, Is this even possible?
I have followed the book and the movie storyline seems completely different?

Regards...

Two Interesting Bikes

Two interesting bikes have come to my attention..
One is a great idea, extremely customisable and great value for money

The other being cheap, heavy and made with one purpose.. To mono.. what more could anyone want




Mojo Bike
http://www.mojobike.com.au/

Mojo Bike offer a customisable fixie/single speed bike delivered to your Door Australia wide for a total price of just $499.00 delivered, Great idea with the growing popularity of single speed bicycles in Australia

Mono Bike
Having seen the awesome TV commercials and heard the hype im sure everyones interest in the new "MONO BIKE"
made with the purpose of being able to hold the longest & most impressive monos with less effort..
Basically by reshaping training wheels into mono training wheels

This bike is available in retailers from $129.00 (less than the cost of a good quality bike seat for road bike)
Great price but the bike only comes in one size, 50cm.. which for anyone over 14 is probably too small

Still worth a look for such a cheap price and having the ability to mono.. who could want more

Getting Aero

I found an interesting picture on the benefit of certain products in the eternal quest for more speed.

Interesting to note just how effective shoe covers are.

Verdict:
Next time you are contemplating the best way to spend your money..
Buy shoe covers.. the most economical way to get fast in any environment
