Martin Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 The Gambia have apparently been doing quite well in the under 17 Football Championships in Peru having beaten Brazil earlier in the competition. The Gambia's president chartered an airliner so that they could go and watch the quarter final against Qatar. Unfortunately, they were running late and were going to arrive in Lima after the game started. So the pilots of the plane carrying three hundred passengers faked a fuel shortage so that they could land at an airport nearer the ground. They were allowed to do so and made it to the game on time where they saw their side win 3-1. Talk about dedication. Peruvian officials were said to be furious on discovering the scam as the airport had been placed on read alert and emergancy services scrambled.

PJ-STFC Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 [i did a quick search across the forum, but couldn't find a reference to this - so my apologies if you've seen it before...] During the recent petrol supply 'scare', someone alerted me to a source of cheap fuel. Petrol Direct is a fairly new online retailer supplying a variety of fuels for a range of vehicles. They do some amazing products, especially their biofuels , so make sure you check out their full range (in addition to their petrol and diesel ).<img src="/forum/images/graemlins/drivin.gif" alt="" /> PJ <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/chat.gif" alt="" /> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don Juan DeMarcus Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 Hitler was claustrophobic. The large elevator leading to his Eagles nest in the Austrian Alps was mirrored so it would appear larger and more open (No wonder he topped himself ina bunker!!)

Emma-STFC Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 The British import Spirograph was introduced in the United States in 1967 by Kenner and has racked up millions of dollars in sales. It was invented by a British electronics engineer, Denys Fisher, who was inspired to create the toy while doing research on a new design for bomb detonators for NATO.
