Exclamation Fat Ops Controller
Just a thought as all these threads are getting very dull...Why do you never see a "Fat Ops Controller"
is it because we work 12 hour shifts and never have time to eat a good meal or does stress stop ya from getting fat...

Answers on a post card please...

You've obviously forgotten the ones you have worked with over the years, otherwise you would not be posting this utter nonsense.

Where is the stress in Ops or is this 'private life' stress? People make their own stress with their inability to prioritise what needs to be done.

Cat-club Oh it was a bit of fun you were seeking - gee I never would have realised, how silly of me. Tell me judging by your little piccie are you still evolving?

VP8 - ego alter or otherwise I don't think so. Mine is enough for me don't need anyone elses.

Harmony - lighten up you say - but I am, looks like you lot had trouble reading between the lines, so don't go pointing the finger.

Now you come to mention it, no lard-@rses here either.
I did used to work with a bloke known as Mr Blobby, who wasn't really fat but was the only bloke over 12 stones in the office.

Let's keep in trim, boys and girls

Whaaaattt?
I've worked with plenty of chubby bordering on overweight ops people. My theory is 12 hours is a long time and junk food is the easiest way to get through it 'specially when you can't get out of the office!!

Who has access to a nice healthy salad in the remotest part of an airport?

I regularly chomp a packet of bickies, crisps, loads of sarnies and maybe a takeway meal! On a bad day. After 3 or 4 years of practice I expect to join the ranks of fat controllers shortly.

yours,
M
