Complaints If you are not satisfied with your flight arrangements please complain as soon as possible to the most appropriate person available at the airline/airport. If you are still not satisfied, please ask for an appropriate report form from the airline/airport's representative before you leave the airport. You should complete this straightaway and return it to the airline/airport's representative and obtain a copy, again before you leave the airport. When you get back home, send a copy of your report form to the offices shown above, together with a covering letter, (giving full details of your complaint and including your booking reference) within 28 days of returning home. If you have special needs which prevent you from writing to us then, where possible, we will accept details of your complaint over the telephone. Thomas Cook Holidays -Some guests' complaints received during the season. 1. "I think it should be explained in the brochure that the local store does not sell proper biscuits like custard creams or ginger nuts." 2. "It's lazy of the local shopkeepers to close in the afternoons. I often needed to buy things during 'siesta' time - this should be banned 3. "On my holiday to Goa in India, I was disgusted to find that almost every restaurant served curry. I don't like spicy food at all." 4. "We booked an excursion to a water park but no-one told us we had to bring our swimming costumes and towels." 5. A tourist at a top African game lodge over looking a water hole, who spotted a visibly aroused elephant, complained that the sight of this rampant beast ruined his honeymoon by making him feel "inadequate". 6. A woman threatened to call police after claiming that she'd been locked in by staff. When in fact, she had mistaken the "do not disturb" sign on the back of the door as a warning to remain in the room. 7. "The beach was too sandy." 8. "We found the sand was not like the sand in the brochure. Your brochure shows the sand as yellow but it was white." 9. A guest at a Novotel in Australia complained his soup was too thick and strong. He was inadvertently slurping the gravy at the time. 10. "Topless sunbathing on the beach should be banned. The holiday was ruined as my husband spent all day looking at other women." 11. "We bought' Ray-Ban' sunglasses for five Euros from a street trader, only to find out they were fake." 12. "No-one told us there would be fish in the sea. The children were startled." 13. "There was no egg slicer in the apartment..." 14. "We went on holiday to Spain and had a problem with the taxi drivers as they were all Spanish..." 15. "The roads were uneven.." 16. "It took us nine hours to fly home from Jamaica to England it only took the Americans three hours to get home." 17. "I compared the size of our one-bedroom apartment to our friends' three-bedroom apartment and ours was significantly smaller." 18. "The brochure stated: 'No hairdressers at the accommodation’. We’re trainee hairdressers - will we be OK staying there?" 19. "There are too many Spanish people. The receptionist speaks Spanish. The food is Spanish. Too many foreigners now live abroad'" 20. "We had to queue outside with no air conditioning." 21. "It is your duty as a tour operator to advise us of noisy or unruly guests before we travel." 22. "I was bitten by a mosquito - no-one said they could bite." 23. "My fiancé and I booked a twin-bedded room but we were placed in a double-bedded room. We now hold you responsible for the fact that I find myself pregnant. This would not have happened if you had put us in the room that we booked." Only in England...

QUESTIONS YOU JUST CAN'T ANSWER Why doesn't Tarzan have a beard when he lives in the jungle without a razor? Why do we press harder on a remote control when we know the batteries are flat? Why do banks charge a fee on 'insufficient funds' when they know there is not enough? Why do Kamikaze pilots wear helmets? Why does someone believe you when you say there are four billion stars, but check when you say the paint is wet? Whose idea was it to put an 'S' in the word 'lisp'? What is the speed of darkness? Why is it that people say they 'slept like a baby' when babies wake up every two hours? If the temperature is zero outside today and it's going to be twice as cold tomorrow, how cold will it be? Do married people live longer than single ones or does it only seem longer? How is it that we put man on the moon before we figured out it would be a good idea to put wheels on luggage? Why do people pay to go up tall buildings and then put money in binoculars to look at things on the ground? Did you ever stop and wonder...... Who was the first person to look at a cow and say, 'I think I'll squeeze these pink dangly things here, and drink whatever comes out?' Who was the first person to say, 'See that chicken there... I'm gonna eat the next thing that comes outta it's bum.' Why do toasters always have a setting so high that could burn the toast to a horrible crisp, which no decent human being would eat? Why is there a light in the fridge and not in the freezer? Why do people point to their wrist when asking for the time, but don't point to their bum when they ask where the bathroom is? Why does your Gynaecologist leave the room when you get undressed if they are going to look up there anyway? Why does Goofy stand erect while Pluto remains on all fours? They're both dogs ! If quizzes are quizzical, what are tests? If corn oil is made from corn, and vegetable oil is made from vegetables, then what is baby oil made from? If electricity comes from electrons, does morality come from morons? Why do the Alphabet song and Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star have the same tune? Stop singing and read on...... Do illiterate people get the full effect of Alphabet Soup? Did you ever notice that when you blow in a dog's face, he gets mad at you, but when you take him on a car ride, he sticks his head out the window? Does pushing the elevator button more than once make it arrive faster?

A friend of mine posted this to me and in a way it makes a lot of sense infortunately he lost a couple of mates over there so he is jaded shall we say... "Everyone Feeling Sorry For Amy Winehouse. Think About This. She Buys Some Heroin, Most Of The Heroin On The UK Streets Comes From Afghanistan, The Money From That Deal Goes To The Taliban, Which In Turn Pays For Bomb Parts And Bullets That Are Aimed For A Soldier. A Soldier Gets Killed And Leaves A Wife, Kids & Family Behind! Tell Me Now That You Feel Sorry For The Poor Girl That Had Everything!!!"

I posted this alone... so I am moving it to it's correct place now I know where it is... Here we stand before the dawn Another flight for freedom Our foes await across the field In these skies of blue we live Blazing out of the sun they came Spandau's stuttering as they dived And a friend fell To his fiery death below Avenged him we did And sent him a flyer to drink with In these skies of blue where we die May we be remembered not for our courage But for what we did over those Flanders Fields In the time of war we flew In these Skies of Blue where we eternally fly Now altogether beneath the sky We are brothers no matter race or creed For we all flew those skies of Blue Thanks to the guys for their support you know who you are... Contact (tink tink tink) Clear... -

I can not get arms
Slartibartfast replied to raptor99's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
Okay We need more help than that... First have you checked the Knowledge Base as the answer is in there for sure... Have you added any mod's ? What Patch are you running in WOE 06 or 08? Have you used the correct Weapons editor? Also this would be better placed in the SF1 WOE section as the Combatace Bug area is for problems with the website not the game... -
But when you trying to use it in the middle of a dogfight while flying inverted and shooting at a pesky Albatross... I don't consider that too barmy... though would be nice if we where doing so inverted whilst flying under a bridge with said mentioned Alb out in front... by the way I got the kill though the chat I had with the tree's afterwards wasn't too good...

2 Small Questions from a Newbie
Slartibartfast replied to hummersepp's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
Walleye is the right name for this piece of kit most times it goes where it wants and cannot see the target... best way to use it... Climb to 12000ft wings level about 10 miles from the target and aquire your target maintain lock on the target until around 5 miles dive down gently about -5 to -10 degrees and release/fire the weapon gently climb away and with a lot of luck it should hit what its aimed at... check your TV Screen to make sure it has locked onto the target you have selected... this is the usual error. Other Bombs as Wrench above advised all at around 4-5 miles in a dive from 10000ft... though some weapons do work from lower or further out... -

Okay I had this issue for awhile you need to uninstall everything including CFS3 then check that everything has been uninstalled there are a couple of folders that need removing as well in the my Doc's folder in your C:\Users your name My Documents Combat Flight Simulator 3.0 CFSWW1 Over Flanders Fields Once this has been done restart then reinstall from the beginning, I installed everything in the Program Files (x86) Folder. Before installing OFF run CFS3 once, install OFF update etc and all should be fine. I am running 64 bit as well... took me a couple of months to get it right...
