    Another plane diverted after a row broke out over a seat being reclined. I don't think plane seats should be able to recline...unnecessary unless you are on an overnighter. If they were fixed, they wouldn't shift as much when people (usually kids) fidget.

    Or if they do recline give us some leg room. My knees are smashed when they recline, not to mention the nice view of the bald spot in the top of their head.

    Agree entirely. It nearly kicked off on my trip to Mallorca because of reclining seats.

    Given the choice, I'd just come back there and give everyone involved a slap.

    Just got off a flight home from a job in Stavanger and it was all calm on there ! Over the past few months been on flights to Chile & Back, Falkland Islands & back, Corfu & back and Faro & back and it was calm & peaceful on all of those flights, a mix of work & holiday flights. Glad that i miss the flights with people onboard who get uppety over reclining seats, etc.

    Worst flight experience i ever had was from Helsinki to Hong Kong. Some guy and his wife sat in our seats when we got on, argued that they were his seat, was finally convinced to move to a different seat, the rightful owner of that seat showed up and it all started over. This was happening in 10 different location.

    Meanwhile once sorted random groups of passengers got up to start chatting in the aisle while the plane was taxi'ing. The attendants got them to sit down and then they got back up 30 seconds later...A bit further down some family is arguing over have been seated separately and wouldn't shut up about it....some dude is just strolling around opening overhead compartments...While atleast a half dozen passengers refused to put on seatbelts for take-off.

    We were over an hour late taking off purely due to stupidity and egotism. Awful.

    Reclining seats, unless in business class and above, are ****ing ridiculous on planes. On my flight to the States I was sitting next to a guy who must have been 6ft 5 at least. The woman in front tried to put her seat back and couldn't because his knees were up against the seat. She started shouting at him that he was deliberately preventing her seat from reclining!

    I spent the day at the Great Dorset Steam Fair and although I enjoyed it, part of the site was like the Somme, and it wasn't the WW1 section! Be warned if you go, wear suitable footwear and take a spare pair, it is extremely muddy. The problem with it is that there is far too much to see, you can never take it all in, on one visit. It would have been nice if they had re-enacted that famous Christmas Day football match!

    Yup, ****ing disgraceful. You can almost hear them pull back into to their little ignorant shell the moment he mentioned science.

    P.S. Did one of them actually refer to being gay as a habit?

    The mother draws her ultimate God trump card. Thereafter he has no chance. All reason goes out the window, because they're not listening anymore.

    Yeah. But it makes even less sense because she starts off saying she knew he was gay from the moment he was a toddler (somehow) and then less than 2 minutes later is screeching like a harpy about what he has just chosen to do.

    Presumably it's not very godly to start beating someone that is disagreeing with you.
