Female announcer: The white zone is for immediate loading and unloading of passengers only. There is no stopping in the red zone.
Male announcer: The red zone is for immediate loading and unloading of passengers only. There is no stopping in the white zone.
Female announcer: No, the white zone is for loading of passengers and there is no stopping in a RED zone.
Male announcer: The red zone has always been for loading and unloading of passengers. There's never stopping in a white zone.
Female announcer: Don't you tell me which zone is for loading, and which zone is for stopping!
Male announcer: Listen Betty, don't start up with your white zone **** again.

Male announcer: There's just no stopping in a white zone.
Female announcer: Oh really, Vernon? Why pretend, we both know perfectly well what this is about. You want me to have an abortion.

I didn't know what an Interest-Only mortgage was - despite the name - before I had it explained to me. Then I was like "why the hell would you want to do that? Are you deluded?" This was back in 2007, too ...

The awkward moment when Etihad means United.

Anyone thoughts on the Clermont v Munster game tomorrow? I think Munster will be hammered but better not tell their fans that...:rolleyes:

Munster by 60 :cool:

When's the match? Might watch it if it's not on during the Leinster match

I would pay a great deal of money to be on this

Munster will get slaughtered by all means. Leinster match will be a good one. Looking forward to it later today. I would love to be flying on that plane with the Leinster team to anywhere. The atmosphere would be brilliant

Yeah but it's weird
Rob Penney seems to think they can win against Clermont but Joe is being wary of Biarritz.

Now by all means, Munster might be able to pull something off, giant killing is not new to Munster.

I think there was a thread about the Leinster jet here last year, there are more pics of it when it was revealed here:

Was this livery part of their image campaign or is CityJet sponsoring them?

Penney will be up for a surprise today. I think the Leinster match will be like last night's match between Paris and Perpignan. Great match and it really kept me on the edge.

I think they said "Official airline of Leinster Rugby" they fly the team to their matches, the partnership started 2 or 3 years ago. They are the main sponsor of London Irish though aren't they?

To be honest, I haven't seen London Irish in action before but I've looked on their website and they haven't got any airline affiliated with them..? Maybe it was a match sponsorship you might have seen?

It seems Powerday is the main sponsor of London Irish now, used to be Cityjet.

I think Cityjet was the main sponsor until 2011.

I think Cityjet must be doing all the flying for them now. We got a call in baggage tracing during the week from Leinster rugby about a couple of bits they thought they left on a flight from the rabo match the previous weekend, so I can only assume all away games are chartered with cityjet now.

Anyhoo, great win today, the second half was almost embarrassing, and I even got a bit off sunburn at it!

jamo2oo9 · 28-04-2013 9:07am

Yeah, I got a bit bored in the last half. Sure we had a few tries and BOD scored one of them but I didn't find it keeping me on the edge in the last 40mins.. As expected Munster lost but in fairness they did put up a hell of a fight and did their best to keep the PD as small as possible.

Looks like it is CityJet doing their charter flights these days. Anybody know what airline is chartered for Munster team?

Not sure, but I heard yesterday that Claremont had 25 charter flights booked for Dublin before their victory yesterday.

It's about the only good thing I can think of from the result, lots of hardware coming into visit.

Ah but now we had that Isa Nacewa try in the second half with himself and Johnathan doing some brilliant passing before the try, along with BOD's try and the crowd chanting "One more year! One more year!" He was scarlet

It wasn't that bad of a second half. Quite emotional though, they will be missed.

Munster put up a really good fight, losing by 6 points to a team like Clermont was much more than expected of them. Yet another play off disappointment for the boys in red but at least Clermont broke their curse.
