Come to New Zealand and die

I took you off, I was always left wondering what the big joke was.

I think you might have just missed me

...666...the devil is in the detail...

Stopped and looked in one night after work and there were a bunch of gay guys doing a few reps of whatever and then taking turns to ponce around in front of the mirror. Ummm no thanks.

Ummm you sure that was a gym? How long did you look before deciding no thanks?

Funny enough it was the YMCA gym, I smiled when I first heard the song. That was nearly 45 years ago though, there wasn't a gym on nearly every street like there is now. How long did I watch? Too long ago to say, but I wouldn't have watched too long in case they thought I was umm interested (?).

Being a professional pilot, if he was too baked then I'm sure he wouldn't have flown.

Many other people who we trust our lives with are habitual drug users as well, like people who drink alcohol and then drive afterward, or prescription junkies like Ed.

Bang on mate, pot is a lot less harmfull and distracting than alchohol any day of the week, YES I know that Factually!

Good to finally see some wider reporting rather than jumping in with both feet on one issue as the Dominion Post and some on here seem to have done - balloon-ground-crew-deny-dope-claims.

The only informative thing the Dom Post have published are comments about some of the issues caused by power lines when coming in to land - pilot-likely-failed-to-see-power-lines. I can vouch from experience how hard it is to see power lines when you are above them and doing an off airfield landing and have watched a mate fly straight in to them.

I have known a lot of pilots over the years, fixed wing, balloon and parachute. Most of them enjoyed a beer, one or two could probably be considered as long term users of cannabis, but not one of them would have flown in a mind altered state. Forget the law, it is the first rule of self survival when playing around with gravity. I am not convinced that a professional pilot with that level of experience would go flying with passengers while wasted. I find the way that Stuff and the Dom Post have been reporting on this quite revealing.
