I've seen it on Malaysia Airlines back in 2000, with a diagram of the plane and an arrow pointing to Mecca.

If you fly El Al all the orthodox (male) go up the back of the plane to pray. It's really scary as it feels like the plane will tip up. Oh, and you can't get to the toilets.

Last _{but why?} Post

[Swatopluk]

"The History of every major Galactic Civilization tends to pass through three distinct and recognizable phases, those of Survival, Inquiry and Sophistication, otherwise known as the How, Why, and Where phases. For instance, the first phase is characterized by the question 'How can we eat?' the second by the question 'Why do we eat?' and the third by the question 'Where shall we have lunch?"

That is an almost existential question.

Last _{Simon Jones* (Arthur Dent) was a friend of mine before Hitchhikers} Post

*_{blatent name dropping, but really he was a good friend at Uni - he was often dressed as Arthur Dent later was which I have always assumed is where the idea it came from but lack verificatiion}

I think this is the role he will be remembered for.
The only other role I instantly remember him in is one of the Privates on Parade. The actor playing Mr.Prosser is also in that (and John Cleese).

He was also in Brideshead Revisited. After that he sort of dropped out of sight. I know where he is and have contact details but have never done anything about it. Shame really, there was a whole gang of us wo spent a lot of time together. Sadly one just loses touch. Well, not of all. I am still in touch with a couple of them. I suppose that's pretty good going given how long ago it all was.

I think he was also a close friend of Adams since he features prominently in the tributes to him.
----
I now have the official licence to handle and drive Flurförderzeuge*, the large group of vehicle types that includes the forklift. But there is 100% consent between the instructor and me that I should keep away from actual forklifts and keep myself to vehicles that go primarily forward. I simply can't get the hang of one-handed steering behind my back, esp. not in closed spaces. But with a forklift almost all critical maneuvering is done that way.

Last _{I suspect that if you were a regular driver it would be easier} Post

[Swatopluk]

I guess so but also no one expects to do such kind of narrow circle maneuvering with a car.

...which proves that you don't drive a car. Why do you think Smart cars are popular in Europe (with it's narrow streets)?
