Busiest time of the day for flights into London. Spent many a happy hour flying over north London on a Monday morning trying to land at Heathrow. Stacking for 30 to 40 minutes was a regular occurance.

I'm not even sure we did 40 mins on Sep 11th 2001 trying to land in LHR

You hate them more than Miles Edward O'Brien
How could anyone possibly hate Chief O'Brien?

No, no, I was saying Skinful hates teh Cardies more than Miles does/did/will. To quote the Chief "I hate temporal mechanics!"

The chief really doesn't like them

Good staff dinner ruined when one colleague told me the 4 dogs out the back would soon be cooked. Sure enough, restaurant has dog soup on the menu.

Even if that decision is made for purely financial reasons it is truly mind-boggling........

Maybe the Murdoch's didn't approve of his methods. You know, actually asking people questions instead of just bugging their phones!

His interviews, even in sports I didn't care for, were always worth reading.

Used to really look forward to the ST sports section but it's been going downhill for a while now and this is another serious blow.

I can't stand Paul Kimmage. In fairness he can come up with some interesting interviews but the style is always the same and there's an almost childlike formula to it " It's a Wednesday...it's raining...he's looking out the window as he sips a coffee and thinks about his opponent" and then the last line is "but he'll still begin tomorrow with a coffee and thinking about his opponent". It drives me mad! He also sticks with the same line of questioning throughout i.e. if someone is known for being intense that's all that gets spoken about but then he rounds off with a question that's completely unrelated and a bit more jovial. "You've a weakness for jaffa cakes havn't you?""ha yeah". Don't know why but reading his interviews makes me irrationally angry.

However, they're not even the reasons why I really can't stand him and perhaps the following is what puts the other things in such a negative light for me. He constantly goes on about how he's blown the lid on drugs in cycling but says that he doesn't want to go on about it and that he's no hero...but he did say it...and people told him not to...he was threatened...but he still did it...he didn't care if he'd be ostracised for it...but he was and it annoys him. "Yeah Leinster won the heineken cup and there's a book about it...which reminds me that I wrote a book about drugs in cycling...but nows not the time to talk about it...and I really was very brave...but I'm not a hero and don't want to talk about it."

I've a feeling nobody will agree with me but it drives me insane!!

Why are you enemies with Paul Kimmage? Did he blow the lid on your illegal doping during the tour de france?

Cause you don't know the difference between bugging and phonehacking?
