Disturbing news from a plane bound from Detroit yesterday, with passengers busted for joining the Mile High Club.

Come on guys, couldn't you wait till you touched down?

As news.com.au reported, air crew were worried by passengers suspiciously heading back and forth between the toilets and their seats, and two F-16 jets were scrambled to shadow the plane on its approach.

Anyone out there a member of the Mile High Club? And why’s it called that anyway, given most commercial jetliners cruise at about six miles up? How do you unscramble a scrambled jet? Anything more important on your mind? Share it here.

      @TRBNGR- Why not? They do with every other non melbourne team in the league rorting the salary cap….The penalty was unduly harsh compared to other teams circumstances….

      He was right in what he said… attributing unsportsman-like thuggery to “passion” is complete garbage. Terrorist was a pretty bad choice of words though.
      At the end of the day, the cheaters were penalized for a distinct breach of club rules and i’m not sure why the fans would be such sour yobbos.

    • TimB says:

      12:02pm | 13/09/11

      @ Shane, and the level of rorting down in Melbourne was far greater than those teams too. That’s why you get a bigger penalty.

      And before you sook anymore, I’m a Canterbury fan. You can suck it up like we had to. You didn’t see the Bulldogs carry on with a childish grudge against Gallop.

    • TimB says:

      Actually I think Keating was the number one fan for a while there.

      I think we’ve touched on this before. Howard supports the Dragons. Abbott the Sea Eagles.

      Detest St George, and not a fan of Manly. League is a funny game smile

      Incidently though, Gillard prefers seaguls fighting over a chip (AFL) to League, and Kruddy thinks that the Bronco’s play State of Origin. I’m sure that’s meaningful somehow.

      Well it was the only time I flirted with a bloke.
      In 1993 a had to make a rush trip to England on personal matters. Back then I had elbow length hair, earings and was wearing a leather motorcycle jacket (I was heading into an English winter) and the very effeminate male flight attendant took a shine to me. We got chatting for ages up the back of cattleclass (you could still smoke on international flights back then but they asked you to go down the back) and after our initial “hello” nothing was too much trouble! Drinks, eats I was waited on quite well! Must have been the leather that had him keen?

      ah well here we go another labor disaster in the making, today we get the carbon tax presented to the parliament. And it will be rammed through by November as the government and independents have all signed up for it despite I’ll bet the majority of then still not knowing the details and the opposition not having seen it in any form other than leaks to the Age. And it significant the Canberra press gallery who love labor to a man are all but silent on this the biggest change to our financial system ever. It’s really sad that most media commentators aren’t trying to protect the public from this bunch of amateurs (cabinet) leading the zombies (back benchers) who are empowered in theory to look after their constituents but aren’t allowed to. Now more than ever before we need an election and a huge swing against people who take the voters of this nation for granted so as to teach all parliaments in the future who really matters.

    • Leopold says:

      Agree with Shane. Forget all of the wealth redistribution bullshit they’ve stuffed into this ‘carbon tax’ and just make it a dedicated clean energy tariff which focuses on developing greener energy.

      I really wish they would stop taking money from the hard workers in this country and passing it onto the dropkicks.

    • andye says:

      11:53am | 13/09/11

      @ann j -  ” this the biggest change to our financial system ever.”

      A tax that runs for 3-5 years and only targets 500 businesses is a bigger change than the GST? Are you serious? Do you even believe this yourself?

      I know a lot of people have bought the scare campaign, but I just don’t. It is the constant stream of bombastic exaggeration that is really sealing it for me.

    • acotrel says:

      @Shane
      What we need are state government EPAs which actually do their jobs, and fine polluters ! When I think of the crap that was declared in the 60s, I get really irritated.  The useless twats were much better at stopping smokey cars than they ever were at doing companies for what spewed out of the factory smoke stacks.

    • ann j says:

      02:32pm | 13/09/11

      @andye . every body will cop the tax not just 500 major companies including state owned operations, everything you buy will have a compounded amount of tax, everything grown everything manufactured will have tax on tax on tax on tax, unklike the GST that is paid once. And the tax on everything is here forever it doesnt just magically dissapear in 3 to 5 years but unlike the GST its increases year by year! And by 2020 we will be paying the tax to oversea corporations for permits!

    • Anubis says:

      04:18pm | 13/09/11

      Sorry folks it is not 500 “big Polluters”. It has been admitted by the Department of CC that the figure is closer to 400. Not bad when we started out with “the 1000 big polluters will pay”. What happened to the other 600? Did they suddenly stop being “big polluters”?

      Yeah, it seemed like we were getting screwed by double-dealing FIFA snout-troughers while our hired ‘consultants’ laughed all the way to the bank and did precidely nothing. Frankly, given the pong of corruption that has enveloped FIFA for some time, I don’t think the government should have provided any funds for the bid.

      And I doubt Frank Lowy was spending too much of his own dosh on the bid.

      Ok! I will probably be criticised again for bringing up politicis but I have broad shoulders & don’t care!
      I am no supporter of the ALP, be it under Rudd, Gillard or anyone else, though I will admit to having enjoyed Paul Keating’s enlivening of the Parliament!
      The Coalition & their climate spokesman, Greg Hunt are really being so hypocritical about the current Carbon Tax legislation!
      Whilst the Liberals & their coalition partners the National Party controlled the Senate they bulldozed legislation through and allowed no debate at all. The current member for the SA seat of Mayo was a Senior Indurtial Relations Advisor to John Howard & when he was pre-selected by head office for Mayo they admitted that Briggs had been the main architect of Howards Industrial Relations Legislation.
      When the Howard-Briggs draconian “WorkChoices” was introduced the Coalition parties virtually denied the Parliament time to debate this. They pushed that legislation through in days.
      They, just as the virtual ALP-Greens Coalition does today, controlled both the Senate & the House of Reps. They could, & did, do as they wished.
      For the Coalition & Greg Hunt to now claim they are not being given enough time to debate Gillard’s Carbon Tax Legislation is sheer hypocrisy. They are getting almost 9 weeks to do so. We have already had 17 years of debate.
      A message for Tony Abbott:
      You & the Coalition denied the Federal Parliament the right to debate your legislation when you were in office.
      Now the boot is on the other foot, isn’t it?
      You, at least, are getting about 9 weeks. The Coalition denied the then Opposition any time whatsoever.
      Tony, you & your pals created your own Karma.
      Karma, Tony, has a habit of coming back & bighting you on the arse when you least expect it!!

      Well said Robert.

      The only loser here is the people. There seems to be more and more of this radical policy dividing the nation and the parliament, being pushed through by the people with the power and then reppealed at first opportunity when the sitting party is unceremoniously dumped by the electorate.

      I guess the only difference being that the CT, like the GST, appears to be far too large to dismantle once it is implemented. It is just such a waste of time and money. And I say that without any opinion toward whatever legistlation - it just seems to be such a waste of the nation’s resources and energies constantly debating this information, only to be repeatedly confronted by rank hypocicy and have to face it all again at the next election. Here we are, five years later and we are still talking about WorkChoices (not particularly your mention, but is a favourite old chestnut to be wheeled out when the situation “requires” it).

      “Ice at the North Pole has melted to the lowest level since satellite observations began in 1972, meaning the Arctic is almost certainly the smallest it has been for 8000 years, polar scientists said.
      If the trend continues, the Arctic will be largely ice-free in the northern summer 40 years earlier than anticipated in the last Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change assessment report.”

      “The last time the Arctic was incontestably free of summer-time ice was 125,000 years ago, at the height of the last major interglacial period.”

      “Global warming is happening much more quickly in some parts of the continent, particularly the north-west area of the continent known as the Antarctic Peninsula, where in the last 50 years temperatures have risen by about 2.5ºC - as much as five times the world average.

      The Southern Ocean has also warmed all the way down to a depth of 3,000m.”

      How many sensors have they ignored this time, NDI?
      Especially in the south pole, a lot of large data gaps there that cold easily account for a mythical 2.5 degree change.

      Seriously though, all that may be true, but just as likely, it may not be true. The corruption of data, “normalising” of records, dubious “error correction” etc, all of which trend the data series upward - reasonable people simply have no trust in the figures.

      My Dear People! _ sounds a bit like that old Germanic-British tart Queen Victoria, she with the doubtful morals doen’t it? _
      As a Mum, grand ditto & great-gfrand ditto I would like to change the subject a bit. Never been one for political correctness or even giving a flying F!#k for others opinions of me I would like to launch an unbridled, no-holds-barred attack on Australia’s Education System. In particular those philistines of education South Australia’s Education System & the teachers, psycho-babblers & other assorted rat-bags who, with their TAFE Psychology Degrees, Teacher Diplomas etc,.
      I was invited, much to the disgust &, deserv-ed concern of Head Mistresses, Child Psychologists & self-style “teachers” to join with my grandson &  his lovely wife a “Family Conference”. The local school psycho-babbler had decided that my great-grand-daughter was “Intellectually challenged” _ in real English she was Intellectually handicapped. This declaration by this TAFE-educated idiot - it was not so long ago that TAFE schools were simply called Tertiary & Further Education institutiions & then some uppity, self-opinionate git (male or female it matters not,) wanted the names of these places of second-rate education change to “University”. They are NOT nor ever have been uninversities in a real sense.
      Thes products of these pseoud-universities have churned out “Teachers” - a word I use very loosely - who have adopted one of the most ridiculous systems of Education ever to come out of the USA:  They call it “Phonics”. Do Not confues with Phonetics!. It is a weird system which purports to teach children how to read. One example I shall give:
      Stand up, stretch out your arms and then, roghly, making as sort of figure of 8 sway your body all the while you hum “Mmmmmmmmmm”.
      NO you are not imitating an airplane you are learning the letter “M” . You go through the entire alphapbet from A to Z using variations of the “M” exercise. After you have mastered all this bullshit you then start to learn to actually Read Words. 8-year olds are not expected to actually Read Books until they are about 16 or older!
      It is no wonder our children are illiterate morons for they are being taught by Illiterate Morons!
      Naplan & other stupid modernist educational tools are entirely responsible for the fact that so many of our children, grand-children & great-grand-children are illiterate, brain-dead zombies.
      Bring back Real Education! Stop calling second or third rate educational institutions “Universities”. Call the what they are: TAFE Colleges which only attract middle-aged to elderly men & women who have nothing better to do with their time & have, late in life, decided they want a “Degree”. They weren’t intelligent enough to get into a real University when they were young so they go to phony educational institutions, get their phony degrees or diplomas & then think they have the right to impose their stupiity on the next generation!
