Sitting On Defence

Take That Helicopter Away, You Scoundrel

A British family is suing the Ministry of Defence for 200,000 pounds after a helicopter containing servicemen ogling a sunbathing au pair blew down part of their mansion. Hovering too close to the sprawling East Sussex mansion, the down-draught so badly damaged a 7m conservatory - the winner of an architectural prize in 2000 - that it needs to be pulled down. The ministry says the fliers could not have caused the damage, but George family barristers say the crew did not have permission to descend below 30metres.

FOOTNOTE: Hover crafty.

Alternate Footnote:

Au Pair's bikini, after being furiously blown off, found in Manchester on a soccer pitch.

I will never get over the stupidity of men when they see a woman half naked.

Thanks for checking in David, I expect it is lovely and warm there, it was sunny but getting quite cold, snow any day now.

The au pair should have foreseen such a situation. Sue her socks off!

God loves a trier - how flimsy does a conservatory need to be to be blown down by rotator blades? Sounds as though the guys were merely doing a public service.. (every job has it's perks)!

Shouldn't the Au Pair have been working not sunbathing?

The chopper hovered over private property at less than 30 m? Eyeballing swimmer? I think the family has a case!
