bilious minors
It was well known that Mr V***e was not noted for his back slapping bonhomie on the flight deck or even in the simulator where an unmonitored mobile phone tone could elicit threats of dire retribution. In truth he had a heart of gold if you needed help. There was ONE particular pilot however who was actually called Grumps and on a particular det in France a small boy who was suitably in awe of the grave gentleman barfed up a surprising quantity of chocolate milk over his shoulder into his lap. The milk had been in the little boy long enough to curdle and only his instant removal from the flight deck by his group leader saved him from a grisly fate. Not a word was spoken on pain of death till we landed. Checks were done by hand signals. At last the great man spoke. "I hate vomit!" he uttered savagely.
