Merry Xmas and Thanks

[The Real Slim Shady]

Guys and Gals

Whatever the complaints and moans from the press, PPrune etc, it nevertheless, (great ISS word) falls to you to implement Govt policy.

I don't have to agree with Govt policy: I do have to thank you.

Every last one of you.

God bless you, be it God or Allah or Buddha.

I thank you for being there. You are not forgotten.

[Shack37]

That goes for me and mine also, take care, stay safe and come home after a job well done.

It doesn't have to be said, but......

Stay safe and thanks.

[Jackonicko]

You're a whingeing, argumentative, journo-hating bunch of ba$tards...... :=


and my respect and very best wishes go out to all professional UK military aircrew - who are doing a difficult job well, and with matchless style, for the rest of us.

:ok::ok::ok:


and to Minigun Diplomat, too! :p

In the true spirit of ethnic political correctness and sexual ambiguity/diversity, to avoid offence shouldn't we really be saying "Happy Holiday" or "Merry Winterval"......:hmm:










No, of course we shouldn't! Happy Christmas!!

In the true spirit of ethnic political correctness and sexual ambiguity/diversity, to avoid offence shouldn't we really be saying "Happy Holiday" or "Merry Winterval"......

Or to use the legal lexicon:

Holiday Greetings to Some and All....

Please accept with no obligation, implied or implicit my best wishes for an environmentally conscious, socially responsible, low stress, non-addictive, gender neutral, celebration of the winter solstice holiday, practiced within the most enjoyable traditions of the religious persuasion of your choice, or secular practices of your choice, with respect for the religious/ secular persuasions and/or traditions of others, or their choice not to practice religious or secular traditions at all...

A fiscally successful, personally fulfilling, and medically uncomplicated recognition of the onset of the generally accepted calendar year 2002, but not without due respect for the calendars of choice of other cultures whose contributions to society have helped make Great Britain great, (not to imply that Great Britain is necessarily greater than any other country) and without regard to the race, creed, colour, age, physical ability, religious faith, or sexual preference of the wishee.

By accepting this greeting, you are accepting these terms. This greeting is subject to clarification or withdrawal. It is freely transferable with no alteration to the original greeting. It implies no promise by the wisher to actually implement any of the wishes for her/himself or others, and is void where prohibited by law, and is revocable at the sole discretion of the wisher.

This wish is warranted to perform as expected within the usual application of good tidings for a period of one year, or until the issuance of a subsequent holiday greeting, whichever comes first, and warranty is limited to replacement of this wish or issuance of a new wish at the sole discretion of the wisher.

"and my respect and very best wishes go out to all professional UK military aircrew - who are doing a difficult job well, and with matchless style, for the rest of us."

Not the groundcrew then? :{

[digidave]

Best wishes from me, as Lurkio said, to ALL out there putting their lives on the line purely because their governmentS said so.
Your sacrifices are appreciated.

Did my share of OOA in my time resulting in missed birthdays and anniversaries, BUT I got to spend every Christmas at home.

Always grateful to those still serving, but those spending Christmas away from friends and family deserve special thanks :D

[Farfrompuken]

Best Christmas wishes to all, particularly those out on ops.

Hoping 09 will prove to be a Healthy and Happy year:)

p.s. methinks PPRune needs a new clock for xmas-looks like it's 8 hrs slow!:ok:

[Melchett01]

Merry Christmas to one and all, stay safe who ever and where ever you are and whatever you're up to.

One point though .... I think I have come up with a new aircrew aptitude test - wrapping presents! Why is it regardless of what gifts I buy (all carefully selected with due regard to their shape for ease of wrapping), that they still look like they were wrapped by a drunk baboon after closing time?

Or is it just me???:ok:

[Squirrel 41]

Merry Christmas to all - esp those in the $hitty sandpits of the world.

Thank-you.

And stay safe.

[mr fish]

my son's just back from his first tour on telic.
for the past week he's been "rehydrating" in the local, been sick on the stairs, in the bath and the house stinks of uneaten kebab.
his once tidy room looks like a harrier paid a visit and the fridge is nearly empty.
i'm the most proud father on the street and looking forword to my best crimbo in years.
if you read this son "GOD BLESS YA, AND ALL YER MATES":ok:

[Bus429]

i know the time has passed for merry christmas,though you and yours were at the forefront of my mind throughout the last few days, so i guess what i can wish is all the very best for upcoming year and all the best. stay safe and thankyou from the bottom of my heart for the amazing job you do. i pray that it won't be long before you get to come home and that you all can find some rest and peace in the arms of your family/friends.
to those of us that are left behind, sending you much love to help get you through what i always find a really difficult time.
i am so very proud of our armed services and i think you are all an inspiration. please, please stay safe....
