Re: Best banter ever?

After a boring briefing at ISK, we declared our availability to go Boris-chasing and were promptly scrambled off in our Vickers FunBus to do so...

Eventually the UK Air Defenders decided that the Bears had decided not to play and had gone home. So we're cleared to RTB.

Voice from the ether turns out to be a Shacklebomber wireless operator who wants an 'Ops Normal' relayed, as his bit of kit has blown its crystals..

"Blah..blah..blah...Ops Normal, estimate Lossie at 1800"

"OK - I read back for confirmation, Blah..blah..blah...Ops Normal, estimate Lossie at 1800. Request clarification - is that 1800 today?"
