Ideally that's what landing fees are supposed to cover. Aircraft up to 3 tonnes (inclusive) per 1/2 tonne or part thereof £8.60 Aircraft over 3 tonnes or part thereof £17.20 Aircraft over 40 tonnes Standard Landing Fee for first 40 tonnes and 1/2 rate thereafter Free landing fee incentive: landing fees will not be charged for aircraft up to and including 3 tonnes MTOW, which are based at Blackpool, City of Derry and Exeter airports. Landing fees will be waived for point to point flights between these airports provided a fuel uplift is made on departure. The catchment area is terrible. To the west: water. To the north: bugger all until Lancaster. To the south: let's use Liverpool. To the east: let's use Manchester and the scores of destinations they have. I think Blackpool had about half a dozen destinations. That's all well and good for the passenger airlines, but for those using small prop aeroplanes it's a bit of a bugger. The vortices created by a small jet can cause a bit of turbulence in the air which can take a couple of minutes before they subside. Taking off behind one of those in a cessna 152 isn't much fun. OH YES IT IS! Fly my pretties, fly.

As there isn't going to be a future, at least as an airport, would all those who've paid the £10 ADF now be entitled to a refund? Presumably Balfour Beatty will still make a ton of money out of it's eventual sale. I'm sad to see it go, purely for nostalgic reasons - it was the airport I had my first ever flight from back in the seventies (20 minute pleasure flight in a single-engined deathtrap). Geraldine Mayall asked for her money back and was basically told to sod off.

It didn't help when the airport imposed an airport development fee on all passengers and consequently Ryanair buggering off

I am sorry to hear that. It is always sad to lose a loyal friend. I'm genuinely saddened for your loss. When my dog Butch died, I cried my heart out. Sadly, I can't say the same about my parents.

Old McDonald had a plane...

Why, thanks for asking CoF. Big album is the newie by Soft Walls (sound a lot like Spiritualized - so we'll play some Spiritualised too), we're also playing a sizeable chunk of a new album by a bloke called Robert Reed that is an uncanny ringer for a 2014 remake of Tubular Bells. Other delights include a track from the new(ish) album by Spoon, a paint-peeler from Neil Sedaka's album for kids and a jaw dropper to start us off called "Rockin' with the Sikh" by Peter Singh (the Panjabi Elvis). All on from 10-midnight http://www.miskinradio.co.uk Next week The Ethel Merman Disco Album. Wow! I had forgotten that exists. In the very early 1980s I was a roller-skating barman in a very camp "fun-pub" nightclub and one of the DJs would play a track at the end of the night to help clear the place.

Mr Rotten has done 4096 tile at least twice. I've yet to get it but been quite close (topped at 33,688 points). I don't post images here but I'll try and add a screen grab of it in Facebook. Edit... Done. No porky pies here guys. I thought you meant you'd got 30,000 on a tile. My apologies.

NO. He is morphing into comedian Tony Hawks (no not the famous skateboarder) Surely Hugh Dennis is in the running.

Not quite. She still has Queen Victoria's record reign in her sights, which will be claimed less than a year from now... Then she'll do Desert Island Discs. Who Do You Think You Are would be a bit pointless. On the other hand; many requests have been made to access private royal papers etc and refused. I hope Charles will take a different stance.

What's on MR SF tonight? Five pints of best Marston's Pedigree means I'm unable to look it up!

214 = 16384 and 215 = 32768. I think you're telling porkies.

I think he's trying to access his 2015 DDP List.

Sir Edward Eveleigh who gaoled John Stonehouse and was one of three judges who upheld the guilty verdict in the Gay News blasphemy trial has died aged 96.

The bastards have done it. Edit: Sorry Charon, didn't click on the link.

Or for trying to start another war.

This type of thing really fucking winds me up. How does this selfish cunt expect someone in a wheelchair, or someone with a pushchair and toddler, to get past? Oh yes, that's right, he expects them to have to go out into the road. When I had young kids in the pushchair and people parked on the path causing me an obstruction, they usually found their wing mirrors on the floor when they returned to their cars. Fucking twats. I agree that's totally selfish, he should get a ticket for causing an obstruction. I can't really see the rest of the street, but it looks like there are parking spaces on the other side of the road unless they only permit parking on one side. There are double yellow lines on the opposite side of the road, however, the only buildings on that side are factories converted to residential and they have their own off-road huge car park. They don't park on the street because they would then have to walk through the car park to gain access to the property.

People around the corner from me who insist on parking their sodding car in front of their ground floor garage instead of putting it in.

The mind boggles as to whether or not they leave it in the boot while traveling or have it strapped in one of the passenger seats as they're driving along. Your answer is to be found in the report: They are from Norfolk. It probably doubles up as a sex doll so they can have a 'threesome' Or a living sex doll. Would it be living if it's made out of MDF?
