Activating Rumour Control.

I did hear of an incident at ISL a while back where a pair of Master Race were bringing a mighty thunder sled of the GR4 variety into land and the girly in the caravan did have to remind them of "undercarrige". GIF was hugely embarrassed and claimed he was doing a late drop of the wheels, I think his excuse was he was testing the caravan controller was awake.

Said girlie kicked teddie out of pram, went and found them then ripped them both to bits with a huge tirade ending with something along the lines of the old growbag comments........ (green, full of sh*t, smells bad) GIF then moaned to his boss who had already had a nice chat with satco.

One crew, duty dogsbody over easter, one girlie getting tea and medals.

IIRC the rumour was that the crew were given duty dogsbody not for the wheels but because GIF had the temerity to try and lie his way out of it.

Integrity, costs nothing. Worth, a fortune
