Yakuzza Lethecus: it´s still expensive, depending on income
Yakuzza Lethecus: hey wol
Wol Euler: hello zen, yaku
Zen Arado: but relatively it is cheap now

Qt Core: Hi all!
Zen Arado: Hi Qt
Wol Euler: ah, Freddie Laker, there's a name I haven't heard in ages
Zen Arado: yeh
Yakuzza Lethecus: hey qt
Zen Arado: he started cheap air flights
Zen Arado: unless someone did it in other cuntrues too?
Zen Arado: :Hi San:)
Santoshima Resident: hello everyone
Wol Euler: he was the first that I knew of
Wol Euler: hello san
Yakuzza Lethecus: hej san :)
Zen Arado: the 747 helped too :)
Wol Euler: at least, he was the first who thought that it could be a general policy for all flights, instead of just having one or two cheap routes and the rest expensive
Zen Arado: yeh..people started having cheap holidays to Spain from UK
Wol Euler: (talking about the price of travel, San)
Santoshima Resident: ty
Zen Arado: perhaps that hastened global warming though
Yakuzza Lethecus: actually if you travel alone airtravel isn´t such a bad thing
Yakuzza Lethecus: especially the no frills airlines are often greener for economic reasons then the frills once
Zen Arado: yeh but it's relative
Zen Arado: wonder how much greener a passenger liner was
Zen Arado: do they still do the Atlantic crossing?
Wol Euler: in the coalburning days? not really
Zen Arado: but they held about 2000 passengers
Wol Euler: oceangoing ships burn awful stuff, extremely heavily polluting
Zen Arado: heavy fuel oil
Zen Arado: like power stations

Yakuzza Lethecus: yes, also looked for the concordia :)
Qt Core: https://picasaweb.google.com/1104762...rum2006General
Wol Euler: I'm reading the wikipedia page for the largest ship, it's fascinating
Wol Euler: cost 1.2 billion US$
Wol Euler: how on earth do companies pay that kind of money?`
Wol Euler: because there are two of these :)
Wol Euler: owned by the same firm
Qt Core: better for a crouse ship than for an aircraft carrier
Wol Euler: well :) the aircraft carrier is probably cheaper, excluding the planes
Qt Core: but surealy has less happy colours
Yakuzza Lethecus: :)
Yakuzza Lethecus: and no 2 stage dance hall on board
Wol Euler: " including the first Starbucks coffee shop at sea." hejheheeh
Yakuzza Lethecus: i think venice now made laws against cruise ships in the laguna
Qt Core: yes, but there is some legal issues and hearings about it as they are fighting about who has the authority do impose such a ban
