Heard at AMS Schipol a few months ago -
Winds were light/var and had just changed from taking off on runway 24 to land on 06.
Midland call up and requested 24 for takeoff.
Controller (in sarcastic dutch voice) 'Yes 24 but you might have a problem with aeroplanes landing in the opposite direction' !
-------------------------------------------------
ATC : Aerlingus xyz cleared lagar
Lingus : Where is that ?
ATC : spelt 'L A G A R'
Lingus 'Aaaahh, had it been Guinness we would have found it' !
Similar - we were cleared to 'lagar' and replied 'we should be able to find that' with a laugh in our voice ...
Controller : contact xyz with a packet of crisps ' !
