"The Planespotting 12"

I have absolutely no sympathy for these people whatsoever. Obviously I don't want to see them locked in a cell, but if they had used their common-sense they wouldn't be there in the first place. I'll get it out in the open now (no, not my manhood), planespotting is a chuffing weird hobbie. Where's the fun in going to airports and writing down the makes and models of airplanes? More to the point, what's the use. I can think of a good one - plotting evil terror attacks! Maybe that's why they're banged away in a greek cell? They're idiots! Who would go and do such a thing in the current global climate and expect not to get into trouble. The fact they were asked THREE times to stop before they got arrested, and didn't, beggars belief. Now the Daily Mail (never one to jump on the bandwagon if it'll improve their ratings and make them look good) has started an appeal to get them freed. They say it is an injustice, but if you ask me it's their own fault and are on a par with people who send hoax anthrax letters through the mail. There's nothing more suspicious than a bunch of people checking out a bunch of planes. You don't have to agree with me on this, but in my opinion they should be subjected to the same anti-terror laws as anthrax hoaxers.

I think all are intrinsically evil.

I agree, all ARE evil.

Whether alone, with partner, or in a group there are always so many things you can do that DON'T invole planes and notebooks.



Should stupidy become a crime punishable by law?

Why don't train-spotters and plane-spotters do something really interesting like.... prostitute-spotting?

That's really sad.

I just heard a bit more about this.

Apparently there was at least one 'couple' amongst the 12.

As in a man and a woman.

Now surely they could have thought of a better activity than looking at planes?

And please, no jokes involving the word 'Jumbo'.

They've got aeroplanes in Greece now?

wow

The half-baked dozen?

Excellent

Just Plane Stupid

I'm trying to think of a decent pun, what with there being 12 of them, but I can't think of anything appropriate.

If only something to do with planes rhymed with dirty...

They need a name.
