I was flying a jet into London Heathrow today and the Northern Irish guy in the Tower helped us out a great deal. You guys are great. Especially the Irish...and the Geordie.

Yes - they are always helpful - esp the short one with his Bart Simpson haircut.
Keep it up guys - before long you'll be on the 4th (or 5th) floor as you are certainly going places.

Not too sure about the geordie.............:p

"B watch, B Watch ra ra ra"
:yuk: indeedy
Boy is Dublin gonna be fun if this it what beer does to you!
Rather pointless society methinks.........
Implies there must be something to appreciate to start with?
:p
Maybe coming in on your days off is addling your brain, Capt. S?
Gonzo.
I can't believe it!! *laughs*. I really can't believe you have created this thread!!:rolleyes:
What about all the lovely people on all the other watches??? Don't they help people out as well?? ;) (And yes, we all know what used to be written on the inside panel of the lift door) :D
And how many times do I have to tell you....... Mancunians Rule!!:cool:

Halo
What was written on the inside of the lift door was ,I suspect, BY Captain Spunkfarter. He's an evil insider, climbing the ranks of NATS management and using this very site to further his, and Bart Simpson's, career. Think very carefully before posting again!!!:suspect:

Gonzo. Your union colleagues worked hard to get you 30 minute breaks. Show them some gratitude and get out of the tower once in a while. :p
Let me just get this straight. You criticise me for spending the first few minutes of my break up in the tower (booking some leave, if you must know), and yet you're in on ANOTHER day off?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
Oh my God, we've gone to 8 on 2 off and nobody's told me, is that it?
:p
Gonzo.
Laugh - I nearly bought a round.
Capt S - see you after the 2nd morning for a beer.....nudge nudge - spread the word, I'm buying!
Can u drive me and the Irish bloke home?

;) Fantastic- it is great to see that nothing has changed since I left the lovely establishment!!!
Things are going well down here in the sunny south- but when are you all gonna come down for a big night out down here and get hammered? Anyone for Berlins?:p

Gonzo. I've never actually seen you out of the Tower! I'm sure you've got a little cat basket under the Air desk.:p
Now let's see. Every 30 minute break spent in the Tower equates to 2 hours 30 minutes per shift fannying about the Tower when you should be on a break.
That's 540 hours of break time per year spent in the Tower. Or to put it another way, you work exactly 72 extra shifts per year as untaken breaks.
Have a Kit-Kat.

When I last went out with you in Bournemouth I was damaged beyond all repair. I'm out for the rest of the season and have just been declared bankrupt:ouch: :uhoh:
GONZO
Didn't know you took leave. Nice one.
LORI
Things just ain't been the same since you left. The watch is now very efficient and people go for a coffee in a team like manner - not going on their own for a 'jack' Costa!!
Only joking matey.........you are missed in the Swan - come back soon old bean!

What the hell are you doing up at 06:37?
Unless you're out with your mate Jeff Dahmer! I can just see you, sipping Chardonnay in a field somewhere and wearing your Aunty's skin!
Me thinks that 'er indoors (on a M shift) is impersonating me!
Even the watch mentalist should be scared!!!
Back to me Tanglefooooot.... hic:eek:

Nice to know I'm missed so!! I'll be thinking of you next time you're 4 for 6 and we're 6 for 2 (well 6 for 4 worse case)
AlanM-yep no problem, give us a ring and I can sort the fees out; have done it before.
Did I hear a rumour you've finally been let lose with one of them new fangled radio detection ranging thingies?
Gonzo- I heard that D watch had become the new C watch??
..........Stanby for start.............

Do you actually believe these crazy delusions that you keep spouting off. The old E watch?!?!? Death watch more like.

Any disaster has BYSTANDERS.
C Watch is a disaster, but it has STAND-BYERS (clever, eh?)
Working on D Watch on the other hand is a slightly different experience. I'd compare it to getting a bl*wjob off a piranha fish, if you know what I mean!
