IO540: Drives a banged up ford modeo stuffed FULL of aviation charts. Loads of parking tickets on the back sea, a bit like the start to "The Gaffer".. Is unbeatable at trivial pursuit. and always right. Empties quiz machines of their contents.

Very funny

if almost totally incorrect

Drives a 1995 Jap import.
Does not use paper charts.
Does get parking tickets very occassionally but appeals every one of them.
Never heard of Trivial Pursuit - is it a board game?
Always right - not far off there

No, you have to be female to be that.
Never heard of a quiz machine.

Actually, I personally know about 3 of the others listed and their descriptions are also a long way off. It's funny how one can get a way off impression from someone's writing. But it would be wrong for me to write my impressions of them

A get-together is an interesting idea. I'd go for it. I would be a little cautious though. Firstly, I would not want to ever [again] meet up anybody on here doing personal attacks, and secondly one of the advantages of pprune is that most of us don't know each other so the forum isn't cliquey like say Flyer or (to use an extreme example) UKGA. I find it annoying when threads repeatedly disintegrate into in-jokes between pub-mates. Anyway, any suggestions for a location?
