Yeah, Flying’s Boring, Only Takeoff Is Exciting…

…but it’s not usually this exciting:
It is understood a passenger alleged the broadcaster, who presents the morning show on Cork's 96fm, tried to perform a sex act as the 10.15pm Aer Lingus flight taxied on the runway at Heathrow on October 19.
Hope he had his seat-back tray locked and out of the way for... err, ‘take off’.

"security related matters." - The security of the gentleman's clothing, presumably?

I wouldn't go complaining to the pilot of an A-10 - have you seen the cannon on one of them? They actually designed the aircraft around it....

It was half past six on my sun dial for the whole flight.....
