Link to Telegraph online.Number 8 has picture of VS plane, but surely no VS passenger would be that dumb. [:I][8D]

It is so disheartening to know that they are genuine. Some absolute corkers though, 6 and 11 are my favourites

Hilarious...I always love lists like these!
Just a side note though - the VS plane shown in pic 8, I am right in saying that it actually isn't an existing VS plane...right? It looks like a dreamliner? Virgin doesn't currently fly any twin engined planes do they? Where did they get the photo from?!

Yes it is the Dreamliner that VS currently have on order.

One of the ones we got at the hotel was a lady who insisted on having a room overlooking the church, emailed so often about it and it wasn't a problem at all. But her constant calls started to really grind (the bottom line being, we don't guarantee specific rooms, because if something happens to that room - flood, fire,etc. it comes out of service) but it's just something we put up with.
So she checked in, and the next morning stormed into reception to complain - because she didn't like the church bells.
