These are some photos of St Marteen Airport, French West Indies The planes impress most people on the beach, flying over just seconds before touching down at Princess Juliana airport. Paradise for the beach lovers, having a lovely tropical beach, and for the aviation fanatics that spends hours on end observing the very low flying skills of giant commercial plane pilots.
12 Boeing 747s operate daily to St. Marteen. The heavy jumbo is the most impressive of all and attracts the looks of everybody around..

5 Reasons why the United Kingdom should join Scandinavia
1. Eurovision Song Contest
Nobody ever votes for the UK at the Eurovision Song Contest anymore (apart from Malta) even though we clearly have the best entry every year. By joining with Sweden, Norway, and Denmark we can challenge the Eastern Bloc and mediterranean countries more effectively with tactical voting.
2. We look the same!
British people look very similar to Scandinavians. If you were to line up 10 English people next to 10 Scandies you’d really struggle to tell the difference. The following pictures clearly show the similarity between Swedish and English ladies:
3. Same Language
All Scandinavian people speak very good English, usually far better than many British people. And many Scandinavians have very good English accents, apart from Jan Molby obviously.
4. Geography
The UK is actually closer to Scandinavia than the Nordic countries of Iceland and the Faroe Islands. This would suggest that the UK is already more Scandinavian than these countries. The map below quite clearly shows how close the United Kingdom is to Denmark, Norway and Sweden:
5. United Kingdom
Finland, the Faroe Islands, and Iceland should join Scandinavia at the same time as Great Britain and Northern Ireland. The Republic of Ireland could also join up if they agree to give us 12 points at future Eurovision Song Contests. It would make sense to rename this larger trading area with a new name to symbolise the new united group of countries.
I recommend we adopt the name ‘United Kingdom’:
It’s obvious really, isn’t it! I think we should build a bridge across the North Sea immediately.

TAKE A MINUTE FROM YOUR DAY FOR A LITTLE GIGGLE. 
Sisters Mary Catherine, Maria Theresa, Katherine Marie, Rose Frances,
& Mary Elizabeth left the Convent on a trip to St. Patrick’s Cathedral in
New York City and were sight-seeing on a Tuesday in July.
It was hot and humid in town and their traditional garb was making them so
uncomfortable, they decided to stop in at Patty McGuire’s Pub for a cold soft drink.
Patty had recently added special legs to his barstools, which were the
talk of the fashionable eastside neighborhood. All 5 Nuns sat up at the
bar and were enjoying their Cokes when Monsignor Riley and Father McGinty
entered the bar through the front door.
They, too, came for a cold drink when they were shocked and almost
fainted at what they saw.

A father passing by his son’s bedroom was astonished to see that his
bed was nicely made and everything was picked up.
Then he saw an envelope, propped up prominently on the pillow that
was addressed to ‘Dad.’
With the worst premonition he opened the envelope with trembling
hands and read the letter.
Dear Dad:
It is with great regret and sorrow that I’m writing you. I had to
elope with my new girlfriend because I wanted to avoid a scene with Mom
and you. I have been finding real passion with Stacy and she is so nice.
But I knew you would not approve of her because of all her piercings,
tattoos, tight motorcycle clothes and the fact that she is much older
than I am.
But it’s not only the passion…Dad she’s pregnant.
Stacy said that we will be very happy. She owns a trailer in the
woods and has a stack of firewood for the whole winter. We share a dream
of having many more children.
Stacy has opened my eyes to the fact that marijuana doesn’t really
hurt anyone. We’ll be growing it for ourselves and trading it with the
other people that live nearby for cocaine and ecstasy.
In the meantime we will pray that science will find a cure for AIDS so Stacy can get
better.
She deserves it.
Don’t worry Dad. I’m 15 and I know how to take care of myself.
Someday I’m sure that we will be back to visit so that you can get to
know your grandchildren.
Love,
Your Son John,
P.S. Dad, none of the above is true. I’m over at Tommy’s house. I just
wanted to remind you that there are worse things in life than the report
card that’s in my center desk drawer.
I love you.
Call me when it’s safe to come home
