I remember doing AIR Deps on 09R (or it might've been 10R!) many years ago and the assistant beside GMP took a phone call from an airline (probably BA) asking if there were start up delays on. He shouted this across to the tower sup but before he could answer, as my departure strips were overflowing the bay and obscuring the crash button (does this still happen??) I responded, " I ****ing well hope so!!!"
The GMP controller, who at that point looked up from his newspaper, is now a senior manager!
