1998 Taxiing out to RWY 23 in GVA behind a Speedbird who was already late for his slot and traffic at 5-6NM out.
GVA TWR employed (maybe still do-not there so often now) a a very suave-voiced lady ATC who was trying to be helpful to get Speedbird off with out more delay to make the slot and in front of arriving traffic;
GVA: Speedbird 7xx are you ready for a quickie?
SPD: ahh.. I'd love to m'am, but I have to go to London first!
That made my day and ATC story for some time. Poor old Swiss German co-pilot 'Aye deedunt geht it!??
