Bit like the CTAF(R) call, all stations XYZ inbound.

The RPT call's up and ask's XYZ which direction he is inbound from , level and estimate for the field.

XYZ replies ah, ah um ah inbound and is now 67 gps.

XYZ that's 6.7 gps ah ah um inbound.

RPT now lined up ask's XYZ to confirm the direction they are inbound from, level and eta.

Minutes go by.

RPT asks again for XYZ'S postion relative the field, level and estimate.

A few more minutes tick by.

RPT asks again for the postion of XYZ.

XYZ replies 40 gps now to Timbuktoo.

RPT asks if they are still inbound to this location?

XYZ replies standby, ah ah ah um we are maintaining ah ah um um below 5500 and now 38 gps to run to Timbucktoo.

RPT replies you are now overflying this location and maintaining 5500 and tracking to Timbuktoo, confirm?

Minutes go by.

XYZ replies standby, ah ah um um say again?

RPT ask's XYZ are you North or South of aerodrome X?

XYZ replies ah um

RPT ask's if XYZ is maintaining 5500 still?

XYZ replies ah ah um standby.

XYZ is cruising at 3500 and is now overhead the field and tracking north.

RPT now departs into the wild blue yonder.

Pilot of XYZ thinks to himself what a pack of wankers them RPT pilots are!!

Looks like you live a sheltered life CrankyATC, come and spend some time octa.
