  1. Who does and where do these polls take place, I'm still not buying it.

    For a little information, check out the this page from the CBC's website. It shows the trend since the Martin group was sworn in. Every point on the chart can be clicked on and at the bottom will tell you some details about the poll. If anything, it may give you an idea of where to look for relevant info to some of your questions...Its the link at the bottom, "tracking the polls".

  2. Gripe Sheets

    After every flight, pilots fill out a form called a gripe sheet, which

    conveys to the mechanics problems encountered with the aircraft during

    the flight that need repair or correction. The mechanics read and

    correct

    the problem, and then respond in writing on the lower half of the form

    what

    remedial action was taken, and the pilot reviews the gripe sheets before

    the next flight. Never let it be said that ground crews and engineers

    lack a sense of humor. Here are some actual logged maintenance

    complaints and

    problems as submitted by Qantas pilots and the solution recorded by

    maintenance engineers. By the way, Qantas is the only major airline that

    has never had an accident.

    (P = The problem logged by the pilot.)

    (S = The solution and action taken by the engineers.)

    P: Left inside main tire almost needs replacement.

    S: Almost replaced left inside main tire.

    P: Test flight OK, except auto-land very rough.

    S: Auto-land not installed on this aircraft.

    P: Something loose in cockpit.

    S: Something tightened in cockpit.

    P: Dead bugs on windshield.

    S: Live bugs on back-order.

    P: Autopilot in altitude-hold mode produces a 200 feet per minute

    descent.

    S: Cannot reproduce problem on ground.

    P: Evidence of leak on right main landing gear.

    S: Evidence removed.

    P: DME volume unbelievably loud.

    S: DME volume set to more believable level.

    P: Friction locks cause throttle levers to stick.

    S: That's what they're there for.

    P: IFF inoperative.

    S: IFF always inoperative in OFF mode.

    P: Suspected crack in windshield.

    S: Suspect you're right.

    P: Number 3 engine missing.

    S: Engine found on right wing after brief search.

    P: Aircraft handles funny.

    S: Aircraft warned to straighten up, fly right, and be serious.

    P: Target radar hums.

    S: Reprogrammed target radar with lyrics.

    P: Mouse in cockpit.

    S: Cat installed.

    P: Noise coming from under instrument panel. Sounds like a midget

    pounding on something with a hammer.

    S: Took hammer away from midget

  3. OK, i don't have a caption...BUT, Ive seen this sort of thing up close and personal. a buddy of mine tried to see how fast the tread mill went, and wether or not he could out run it...well, he couldn't. fell right on his ass and was literally shot into the wall...big human sized dent/hole and all...stellar picture boogieknight....

  4. I have to agree with kung and the tube ...Sugarbush '94 is killer as is the nutter centre show from 12/7/97 (had a ticket, decided to study for a physics final instead. if i knew then what i knew now, physics would have been the most major blow off ever...!!)

  5. Yep, that pretty much covers it. Cool new venue for sure...id go back there for a show anytime and hopefully it will happen more often. If you're in a band and come play in Calgary, don't over look this spot!!

    Taksi is pretty f'n cool. had never heard them before but now i want more. Blue Quarter, I agree with those comment, though it didn't stop me from flailing around most of the night...good times, good times.
