About time this fine thread was back at the top.
You are on a Comp A trip out of FI’s to take a pax to San Paulo for urgent onward flight back to UK. Having sorted out pax it’s a night stop before the trip back to MPA.
Its also Saturday night and today has seen the big local derby between the two city football teams. As the crew are quietly going about the business of having a few beers and a pizza, the Co Pilot is “recognised” as the identical twin brother of the top scoring local hero of the winning team (a bit of a tall ginger Gazza from what we could make out!!).
Do you:
a. Return quietly to your hotel to avoid any rowdiness.
b. Persuade Co to wear a hat thus hiding the incriminating ginger locks.
c. Attempt to explain the as we are from England and have never been to Brazil before its unlikely that there is much family resemblance between the Co and the local soccer idol.
d. Buy a replica shirt and a football from a late night shop and get Co to demonstrate for the assembled crowd his legendary soccer prowess and range of tricks including back flip and overhead kick. Have a replay of the 1970 world cup match in the main street and generally enjoy one of the finest nights I ever spent on the RAF AT fleet.
