Works ok after the shaking on Sunday no sign of CAT  (clear air turbulence)

Never minded the the smell of AVTUR some one being sick wasn't to pleasant. We had a guy who would pretend 

to be sick in  the bag issued then start eating it. Unbeknown to others it was cream veg

My grandfather always smoked Woodbines which were probably the first fags I tried after nicking them from him,either that or the player's Navy Cut we used to get from the machine outside the newsagent on the way to school. They finally did him in,dying of lung cancer,although the TB he had in the 30's probably made him prone anyway! There was a Woodbine Cottage opposite our old house at Portland where a family of dwarves lived which would prove that smoking does actually stunt your growth I suppose.
