Stan is coming to a bar-stool session at our unit this week.
He stands for 1 company, 1 identity...

Getting boring and stupid now - its not funny.

PA7 - now your email makes sense! Very good. I'm going to miss out on Stan at our unit, shame. ;)

LGW15 as said before, you DON'T have to read the threads. Maybe this is not the forum for a 15year old school boy to be commenting on the "proffesionals" feeling towards rebranding. So come on TIM grow up.

Yet another arrogant teenage adolescent with an image & attitude problem. Seem to be the fashion these days......
Noticed a few of his previous posts have irritated a few in the past - good effort for such a young chap, despite having the interpersonal skills of a turd.
Time for him to brush up on the aforementioned skills, methinks.....
:mad:

LGW15, are you sure you're not NATS management. They're always trying to stop outbreaks of morale...:E

LGW15, are you sure you're not NATS management. They're always trying to stop outbreaks of morale...
He's also young enough to think that colours and patterns like the new logo is the height of fashion... :hmm:
thought he was looking in the mirror:E

PA7,
Has Stan and his friends turned up yet?
Arrived this morning Sonic, just got to sort out a pass from security and they will be ready to plug in on the back desk:rolleyes:
SonicTPA
5th Apr 2006, 09:00
That's brilliant!
We're going to need a bigger back desk - I can envisage some people being reluctant to give up their 'position' at the back, and they won't want to plug in somewhere else! :ok:

Best reason I have heard for the multi-colours so far is that its a pre-emptive strike against the rest of Europe ATC privatising. Let them try and find a colour scheme NATS doesn't already have!
Well there is always black and white

Any truth in the rumour that Stan had to cancel the bar stool session at CWL due tea breaks ? :}

LGW15 may indeed be all of the things you said (Although I doubt it), but it doesn't stop him being right.

Do you work for NATS prospero?
I think he probably is all those things!!:mad: he is probably right, boring! so liven it up a bit. Anyway, What ya sayin ?
Rumour has it Stan and his friends were spotted at a NATS unit today darn south. Didn't plug in on radar though just sat at the back doing what managers do...............:rolleyes:

Never mind the back-biting; STAN really does exist. In view of NATS tie-up with AENA, if you translate 'National Air Traffic Services' into Spanish, the abbreviation is STAN.
Oops! Doh! Forgot. NATS doesn't stand for National Air Traffic Services any more. Forget this post. :\

Su español es en el mejor de los casos dañado. It would be Tráfico Aéreo Nacional Services.

Well, well well, welcome back Mr Stan. We have all been missing you !
I notice Stan that none of your cronies appears to be able to afford
a tie ? You are a scruff Stan and a nasty one at that.

Is it true that STAN wishes to be known as Natalie from 1st MAY when he (sorry she) returns from having the op? :confused:

Yes, well done Dave. You scrubbed up well.
I trust you were better behaved than you were the last time you had a camera pointed at you in there?

next time please wear a suit which fits you - not one that you wore during your school days - you're much taller now, with longer arms

As I gather from your rubbish moniker (it means name) that you are a Heathrow ATCO, I need not take any sartorial tips from you as, with the exception of myself and certain A watch controller, there is not a stylish ATCO amongst you all. My suit was actually made to measure by those fine gents at Prada.
I think perhaps you ought to concentrate on what you claim to do best and leave the real work for the 4th floor.
P7
P7 I would like to challenge your claim above. I believe I have a style of my own, therefore could be considered stylish.
How was your nordic tour?
Gonzo
11th May 2006, 15:01
P7 - Stylish.......??
stylish
adj
1: having elegance or taste or refinement in manners or dress;
2: being or in accordance with current fashion
One might argue that it greatly depends on which definition we use.....

11th May 2006, 16:07
GONZO
adj informal
Origins 1970s perhaps from Italian - gonzo meaning "foolish"

p7,
what can I say? mr A watch certainly puts us all to shame in the fashion stakes
My suit was actually made to measure by those fine gents at Prada.

P7
actually Prada don't do made to measure... nor do they sell in Asda. Furthermore, whilst the 4th floor can be applauded for the excellent work they do for the bottom line at Costa, work is not a word that can be applied to their activities...although hats off for the great "braced for 6 of the best" position in this week's skyport... it was a very nice spread about ( or is it by?) NATS' finest! :ok:
As I gather from your rubbish moniker (it means name) that you are a Heathrow ATCO
you can also come to the same conclusion from reading my location
Flaps ten please

Shame he has now be dismissed from post for not keeping up appearances with the National Air Traffic Services management team.
Surely he was the best looking member to adorn the walls of LACC or was it a case of not wanting to be associated with a rogues gallery :E
