Been up before the sun and now I'm tired before I even begin.
(Now you're flying) I got so much work in front of me,
(Really flying) it stretches out far as the eye can see.

Indian transport reviews

If you think Jetstar is bad check out Indian air transport reviews at airlinequality.com

I like this one
"My experience of Air Deccan is entirely negative. They are the worst airline I have ever encountered - anywhere. The level of incompetence and indifference displayed by their staff towards fare paying customers has to experienced to be believed. It is truly astonishing. I would not recommend them to my worst enemy."

Said with such passion!

Stuart Mackenzie was right

Stuart - "Oh how I hate the The Colonel, with his wee beady eyes and that smug look on his face. `Ohhh you're gonna buy my chicken, ohhh'"
Charlie - "Dad, how can you hate "The Colonel?"
Stuart - "Because he puts an addictive chemical in his chicken that make you crave it fortnightly, smartass!

Whilst we all laughed along at the time it appears more and more likely each day the KFC is on a mission to take over the universe. Tipped off by a story in SMH I decided to do some research.

If it was only herbs and spices why would they take such costly measures to protect the secret?

"Today, the recipe is protected by some pretty elaborate security precautions. One company blends a formulation that represents part of the recipe while another spice company blends the remainder. As a final safeguard, a computer processing system is used to standardize the blending of the products to ensure neither company has the complete recipe. " KFC.com

Why are they preparing for an Alien invasion with advertising that is visable from space?

KFC big cheese Gregg Dedrick duly said in a statement: "If there are extraterrestrials in outer space, KFC wants to become their restaurant of choice."

What do they know that we don't? Will the secret be revealed with the purchase of any large meal deal?? Only time will tell.

The truth is out there.....
