I went to an East European airport two years ago and when I went through Few Cloudy's beautifully expressive "chicken cack" , there was one buried in the actual airport NOTAMS in the local language forsooth. The rest were in English, just the one in Martian. Unacceptable - there was no possible way we could have known what it implied before we departed - there are not many interpreters hanging around my crew-room at 0500 and I didn't have time to nip back to a motorway service station to ask the serving girl, and there were no plumbers present. To this day I haven't a clue what it meant because I forgot to ask the despatcher when I got there, but we survived.
The whole system is 'pants' as poster after poster states here.
