Well, it might be nice to spend a week reading, reclining in a deck chair, while a waiter brings me cocktails.

Oh man, the BAE 146/AVRO RJ 80/100 is a real dog isn't it? Cramped, slow, lands like a brick, and stinks. Its got tiny overhead bins, and no freaking exit row seats! It always was a smelly plane, especially first thing in the morning. That's the last time I take one of these!

You should try KLM.
Not just dirty, poorly-equipped, nasty planes, but Dutch customer service, too.
They improve immensely when they play swapsies with Singapore airlines -- who won't even allow Dutch staff on the planes, because they're worried they'll upset the customers.

Not on this[^] kind of aircraft.

It does say: "Hundreds of people were evacuated and there are no reports of any casualties."
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Amazing given the monstrosity of the fire, and size of the building.
Deft evacuation.
|
|
|
|

I was going to say "good design of the building too" - but since bits caught fire really easily and fell off going all over the place, I don't think it counts!

Govt acted very fast here and avoid further casualities

At least the tower lives up to its name...
Good there are no casualties

That was my (not the first) thought too.
|
|
|
|

It was my first thought as I had to re-read the sentence to see if it said the tower turned into a torch or if the tower was actually called torch
Aside from the irony there's nothing funny about it, of course.

Agree.
Coming to the word 'Torch', in India (at least the southern part), we usually call a 'flashlight' as a 'torch'. Only later in life I got to know that the word 'torch' means a flame, like the Olympic flame.
[In fact, during a visit to the US, I went to a small convenience store, and asked for 'torch'. The shop guy gave a puzzled look, since I felt (he thought that) I didn't look like out to kill someone. Then, my Indian friend said 'flashlight', and that settled things].

I was so tempted to post "The Torch is Torched" here, but I refrained. Until now.

WTF?[^]
Really? How stupid is this person?
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?

The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.

Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

What's stupid?
She's right. It's ridiculous to tell deer to cross at dangerous places in the road. They don't understand traffic and cars, and there's no deer equivalent of the Darth Vader Green Gross Man to instruct them -- and even if there were, they don't watch TV, so they wouldn't see him.
While we're at it, we should get the weathermen to change what they do with all these hurricanes and tornados -- why the Hell do they keep sending them where people live?
Now, that is stupid!

She is absolutely correct! Instead of "Deer Crossing" the sign should read "No Deer Crossing" and it should be turned to face oncoming deer, so they can clearly see it.
