A while ago a student from the Emerald Isle was going through HM's finest chopper school with, what has to be said, a fairly clumsy set of hands.
During one particularly shambolic sortie, after much hint-dropping and "why don't you?"s, the wizzened old Yoda of an instructor turns to Bloggs and asks:

"Why, when I'm doing my best to help you, do you still insist on ignoring every word I say?"

"Well, sir,.....(blah blah blah etc, long winded excuse blah blah!)"

"Wrong, I'll tell you why. I'm speaking to you in English but you're listening to me in f***ing Irish."
