Yes it is.

So much so i just sent the link to my brother to see if he has been flying recently- well renowned for pan jamming

I bet the toilets are only designed for dainty little sweet'n'sour turdettes... not Western logs.

"The toilets use high-speed vacuum pipes to take waste at up to 110kph (68mph) into a holding tank,"

Are the khazis built by Gatso then?

Great enginerring. The narrator in that clip is supremely irritating.

Perhaps they are copying a principle from artillery, namely that if you 'squeeze' the shell down the barrel the muzzle velocity is higher...

We need cordite. If cordite can get a 16" shell 20 miles it can get even a Western turd down a drainpipe

I did wince at the 'Forumla One technology' bit. No, it's a turd in a pipe with a vacuum cleaner attached.

"Airbus have been straining"

"...it's a big job"

"a challenge not to be sniffed at"

"flushed with success"

Whereas Formula One is a turd in a car with a vacuum in his head.

[partridge]Now this toilet is a Saniflow 33, and this little baby can handle ANYTHING. We tested it earlier with 1/2 a pound of mashed up Dundee cake, let's take a look;

...Not a trace, peace of mind I'm sure, especially if you have elderly relatives on board[/partridge]
