Wow. I bet a 747 could snort a lot of coke.

Is it me or do they look like brothers? (Or it could just be the lighting)

The bad news is, the coke was gone when they got to Heathrow. The good news is, the plane set a new speed record from Johannesburg to London.

Baggage handler Neil Weir, 42, turned supergrass when they were rumbled, Reading Crown Court heard this week.

Translation, please?

A supergrass is an informer. The term originated in the UK where informers were often referred to as 'coppers', in relation to the help they provide to police with investigations - the Cockney rhyming slang for 'copper' is 'grasshopper'. This was eventually shortened to 'grass'. The word 'super' was later added to suggest a large-scale informer.

Hmmm.. learned something new and useless today!

Pub landlord Raymond Harmes, 49, masterminded the operation in his pub in Stanwell, Middlesex — ironically named The Happy Landing.

An establishment name ahead of it's time.

Look at the other bright side... Good thing it wasn't a suitcase nuke.

Let it taxi up to the gate and blamo.

I don't get it, wouldn't all those Coke cans flying around in the nose cone screw up operation of the radar? 20kg of Coke flying around in front of the radar antannae certainly would cause some anomolies, no? That collision avoidance software would be going off all the time.

Oh yeah, his real name is Gary, but we just nicknamed him 747.
