In January working Oslo back to Scottish.
The Norwegian controller had a great accent, every time he handed somebody over he finished with a "So Long".
However with his accent it sounded more like "Shalom"...The Hebrew for Peace.
Sounded very relaxed and made us both smirk.

Then a couple of minutes later we got a request to descend, earlier then planned.

The call went "Corporate XYZ, descend FL 280, DUE traffic".

Some moments later an EL AL passed infront of us 2000' above.

I nearly wet my kecks...
