You're Top Poster: #1   | Wally of the Week I thought I'd start a thread on any news story where the individual(s) should have had more sense. I'll kick off (no pun intended) with this story: Australia soccer player in trouble over Hitler garb | Breaking News | guardian.co.uk Football Quote:

You're Top Poster: #3  | Thank God he was not an Australian soccer player. Seems to tell a story doesn't it!

You chose dishonor and you will have war." (Winston Churchill made this prophetic pronouncement in a House of Commons speech in 1938, just after Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain signed the Munich agreement with Hitler. Chamberlain returned from Germany with the signed agreement in hand, proclaiming that "peace in our time" had been achieved. Churchill attacked Chamberlain's "politics of appeasement" in this and many other speeches.) What did the Australians do in ww2 and other conflicts?

You're Top Poster: #10 | How about this senior airline pilot who did a wheels-up pass at 80 feet in a new 777? With the chairman of Cathay Pacific on board!  Daredevil pilot fired for Top Gun stunt - Telegraph |

You're Top Poster: #10 | Call me a spoilsport, but permission is quite a good thing to get if you're going to take 300 tons of metal at 300 mph along a runway with a lot of VIPs on board! Some chap in a Cessna might have already had permission! |

You're Top Poster: #2 | Indeed, he didn't ask, did it anyway, so got in trouble for putting lives at risk and breaking all manner of regulations, I imagine.
