Chopper,

You can't put that clip up! It's not BoB season and BEagle's not getting any younger ... he needs to take a run up to Miss York in all her glory rather than just being ambushed like that

That said, I think it's a damn sight better than the RN's version of Mess 'Undress'!

[MPN11]

Arrrrgggghhhh ... where are my pills?

[brakedwell]

I suppose trousers only means no knickers

[Al-bert]

.......trousers-only rule in an attempt to become more inclusive.

Henceforth 'stockings and webbing' may be considered optional and may be worn beneath the trousers of all genders, and those of no gender.

[Finningley Boy]

I'm trying to imagine the particular shade of puce that one Sgt R.M. Smith, Discip NCO at Boulmer c 1978-80, would have turned if someone would have presented this snapshot of the present day RAF to him!

Anyhow, I reckon Lord Trenchard is currently spinning in his final resting place like the proverbial propeller.

Glad I got out in '72, when: "what was so was so. and what was not was not" (King Mongkut [Rex Harrison] in "Anna and the King of Siam".

I see no hope for the future of our people if they are dependent on the frivolous youth of today, for certainly all youth are reckless beyond words. When I was a boy, we were taught to be discrete and respectful of elders, but the present youth are exceedingly wise and impatient of restraint.

--- Hesiod, Eighth Century B.C.

"I believe what really happens in history is this: the old man is always wrong; and the young people are always wrong about what is wrong with him. The practical form it takes is this: that, while the old man may stand by some stupid custom, the young man always attacks it with some theory that turns out to be equally stupid."

G. K. Chesterton

ORAC - PPrune so needs a 'like' button - although that thought will no doubt be despised by some as a frivolous departure from the serious debate that is forever PPRune

PPRUNE is not going to turn into Fakebook and Linkedin is already doing the 'like' button.

Now back to the topic - the Polish police force do not have sucha problem lest the Warsaw Police Dept

Blimey - fancy that lot playing good cop/bad cop with you! (with one in reserve should one get tired)!

"I confess officer" (in Polish).

[BEagle]

"Ve haff vays of making you talk....??"

[Warmtoast]

I'd love to travel on this airline - the female attendant would certainly get the male passengers to look up from their iPads whilst she did her safety briefing, but the mind boggles as to what would take place during her 'post-flight' de-briefing!
I've "touched-up" the photo (no pun intended) to preserve the young lady's modesty.

[NutLoose]

As if putting gloves on would make you follow her hand signals..

[Linedog]

She looks like she's demonstrating the operation of her flaps and air brakes.

Hate to throw a stinger under the wheels of the PPrune Outrage Bus, but this has not happened, it is False News. Check out the Intranet Portal and you will see a denial and disclaimer.

Epic. Maybe we can do a bit of reverse logic. If we put a real, but stupid rule, on here perhaps the powers that be will declare it false news and change it.

I'll start - "RAF pilots required to do swim test every year to prove they haven't forgotten"...
