What amazed me about this story was not that the judge decided that the name of the girl “Talula Does The Hula From Hawaii “ was inappropriate but that someone else had allowed the name “Number 16 Bus Shelter” to be given to some poor kid.
As one of the Discworld witches once said “I think that there should be some test for parents, in addition to the practical test”.
This must have been a very scary experience, a loud bang, loss of cabin pressure at 35,000 feet followed by a controlled descent to 10,000 – according to the passenger I heard interviewed this morning on the radio.
I made this same flight 25 years ago without any incident apart from a delay on the ground at Hong Kong while a part was swapped out on the flight deck. The pilot told us what was happening and then informed us that the doors would be closing to allow any smokers to light up and that free drinks would be served for the duration – best ground delay I have ever experienced.

People are crazy. I used to layout a Rotary Club directory in this town, and was always amused to paste in Hugh B. Good's photo.
Parents, who'd have them.
Lori, insanity can be found everywhere in the world - not sure if that is comforting or worrying.
Noddy, Cool track that.
