Gash,
Not always true - some linebooks made a visit to that particular station worthwhile. When RAF and RN helicopters in Aldergrove were detached elements under command of SHFNI, the combined linebook was one of life's classics. Sadly, it only seemed to survive a year or so after the Sqns moved there full-time.
Coops,
Let me see if I've got this right:
- A linebook entry/PPRuNe thread is
not amusing if it refers back to a seminal televisual entertainment from the 60s,
but
- If it refers to a programme from a period when most of us weren't at school but actually in productive service,
and, in so referring, makes fun of someone who probably had a life and didn't get to watch the telly, it
is now incredibly droll and worth sharing with everybody.
Is that about right?
I'd finish with a catchphrase from some fly-on-the-wall rubbish that you're probably glued to back in the UK, but as we don't get your broadcasts here I don't know any.
