The French

So, just having finished my shower, in CSE , an EI pilot comes into my room to ask me what is going on ? A mass launch at Upper Heyford could be heard from the open windows. Sticking my head out I see a holding pattern in the sky of contrails about 25,000' plus. Knowing there was no AAR training area above Oxford, I surmised an attack was being launched and forecast Tripoli. Said " we will know in the morning, or just before. Being blessed with the presence of Libyan Arab Airline pilots , who regaled in frivolity in the showers entailing large consumption of wet toilet paper ( hence the early shower ), not much used in the latrine I may add, I expected a large arrival of police/SB/5 just prior to any public broadcast of said prediction. Then we will know. On cue, a few hours later , in come the plod , and hay presto, a dearth of our beloved foreign colonial gentlemen friends from class the next day. Back to ' Plotting ' !
