Poodle Supervision

Had to fix a kitchen faucet yesterday. Slow leak, needed replacing...that sort of thing.
Of course, since the original had been 'salvaged' no doubt, in an attempt to sav.....uhh....be cheap, it was in bad shape.
Ended up killing the old faucet (and a fair amount of the sink) since 3ft. bolt cutters aren't the approved method of removal. It did however work.
Enter Maggie. I'm laying on my back, half under a smelly, wet, old, kitchen cabinet trying to reach the pipes. What better time than to come in and 'supervise' It's her job. The finder of all dropped things. Poodle supervision. The scrutinous eye of the Poodle. "Need that wrench?...no ya don't, I'll just grab it and carry it over to the couch" "That stuff you took out from under the sink?.......it's gone....I'm taking it all." Piece at a time. (Poodles have tiny mouths and can usually only carry off single tools at a time)
Fortunately, the job was finished in less than 3 hours. Just in time to give her a bath.

Screw the French (and their silly aeroplanes)

FRANKFURT (AFP) - European aircraft maker Airbus will later this week announce a significant slump in its market share last year as arch-rival Boeing leapt ahead in terms of orders, the Financial Times Deutschland reported.

Quoting figures that would officially be published on Tuesday, FT Deutschland said that Airbus, a unit of the European Aeronautics Defence and Space Company, saw its market share by value fall to 40 percent last year from 45 percent the year before.

Airbus received orders for just 800 aircraft in 2006, down from 1,055 in 2005, the newspaper said.

The figures come after Boeing announced record commercial aircraft orders for 2006, beating Airbus for the first time since 2000, the report continued.

Airbus is suffering from relatively weak sales of its A330/340 models, as well as the A380, which is heavily burdened by production problems, and the repeatedly re-designed A350, FT Deutschland said.

In the segment for wide-body airplanes, Airbus's market share now stands at only 18 percent, compared to Boeing's 82 percent, it added.
