BillyVance 35 #2 August 10, 2007 She said "fair dinkum". I looked at wikipedia and couldn't find any reference that it was a swear word. That airline crew are bloody idiots not to have a basic understanding of local dialect on the routes they fly, but like they say, there are two sides to every story. An American could give a "thumbs up" signal in Italy and probably get arrested and wonder what the fuck for. He/she would do themselves a favor by getting to know basic language nuances and hand signals that may be offensive in the country they plan to visit.

Scoop 0 #7 August 10, 2007 LOL, i'm only saying. News reporters are notoriously bad at reporting the truth. Not their fault though. They can only report on what they are told. She could have been drunk and intimidating to people for all we know. Just don't immediatly start slagging off the police and the government etc because thats the 'cool' thing to do because it may well be that it was a perfectly reasonable thing to do.

riddler 0 #16 August 11, 2007 Quote "Our initial reports indicate it was more than a misunderstanding of the language," SkyWest spokeswoman Marissa Snow told the journal. "We witnessed aggressive behaviour throughout the flight." I was once on a flight to Auckland, and the plane was delayed due to weather. It took United three days to get the last of us out. On the plane, before we found out about the delay, I would describe their normal, well-behavior as aggressive. When they found out the flight was delayed, I thought they were going to riot - a Kiwi next to me explained that they were just a bit perturbed There was some "laying of hands" on airline employees, and the police were called to retain order. Well, the airline got the Aussies out as fast as possible the next day. The Kiwis were on the second day. Myself and a mild-mannered British couple were among the last to get out on the third day. "Aggressive behaviour" is a completely subjective phrase.Trapped on the surface of a sphere. XKCD Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
