On bended knee....Mk IV

[BuzzLightyear]

I think it's Mk IV anyway...could only find three previous ones! :ooh:

Well its been snowy again and its all disappeared :sad: and not another A.A.S.S. Certificate has been issued. More on the way apparently so don't give up hope yet lads and lassies... :p

For those of you that are new to good old (not so) Ice Station Zebra, welcome to the occassional re-appearance of a thread that was hijacked a long time ago....isn't EGPD just fine and dandy.

Any of you old hands other than me still out there?

[Data Dad]

From infinity and beyond...still here :) Bout time you returned the flashing snowlady wiz ze big boobies though...

DD

[BuzzLightyear]

Not guilty...you missing the cheap thrill of a frosty morning? :p

Wonder who else will crawl out of the wood work....glad your still there Dad.

[atcomarkingtime]

So the Good old Ice Station is under new temporary management eh? I wonder how temporary temporary is then.....betting has started....roll up roll up!!!

[U R NumberOne]

And I'm here as well. 'Course I don't get much time to post now what with being soooo busy at work! :eek:

Well done Buzz - I just can't remember how or why the original 'On Bended Knee' started. Must be getting on a bit...;)

[atcomarkingtime]

WHAY....u r number is back...good to see the OLDER boys on here!!!!:}

[BuzzLightyear]

I believe.... if my aging memory serves me correctly... it started with a genuine question about life at dear old ISZ.

Unfortunately for the original poster we kind of took the thread over and used it to trade the odd insult and other friendly banter.... :)

For example No1 I believe you took a bit of a ribbing for the hotting incident you suffered, Dad got a bit of a rise taken out of him for the Council's choice of chrimbo decor at the end of his road and as for Adge/Cuddles and any other alias he used...well least said ;)

Still no Association of ATCO's Stuck in Snow certificates issued...the truckers on the 947 must be getting bored in their cabs of an evening...eh Dad? :D

[atcomarkingtime]

Hehehehe...so glad Buzz admitted to having an aging memory....

We did use the originals for the odd bit of banter....one got closed down remember....ah...bless the olympics!!

[U R NumberOne]

Thanks for the reminder Buzz - I guess my slightly less-aged memory is also suffering a bit. Of course the most youthful Marking-time one doesn't have any such problems! ;)

[atcomarkingtime]

u r number 1....bout time you recognised my youff!! U'll never be as young and as wise as moi!!
BUZZ.....sorry to see you suffering today :oh: and even more sorry to see you are not going to appear on the cast list at ISZ tomoz.....oh I will miss the p**s taking!!!!!!! (THought something was wrong when u couldn't keep ur chopper up!!!!) Get well soon

[BuzzLightyear]

Oh I'll be back....tomorrow.

Amazing the restorative powers of lots of vitamin C. Should've passed enough germs around yesterday :eek:




To Infinity and Beyond.....Oldmeldrum

[atcomarkingtime]

Oh you OLD guys amaze me....a day off and you're back to your full self....us younger guys would have to have at least a cycle off to recover....but I'd apparentely not know I was sick until I'd had a shower in the morning??????:confused: (But next time get yourself down to the bakers for lunch!!!!!)

Can't wait to have you back Buzz....I'm sure you thought about us all whilst on your sick bed!!!!! Missed having someone stick 2 fingers up at me every 5 minutes!!!!!:p

[DON GIVACHIT]

I'm sorry but I only speak the Queen's. Could you send an interpreter round.

I must admit to being partial to a fancy piece at Ross's of Inverurie-shire for luncheon. Whether one is off-colour, chundering, got a dicky tummy, had a shower or not.

Whoops! There goes the career wot!!

Spankings all round.....

This could run and run etc....:D

[DON GIVACHIT]

While I think about it,

Why isn't marmalade called orange jam?

How does the snow plough driver get to work?

Why do footballers wear shorts in the winter and cricketers wear long trousers in summer?

What do you call 2 scots on a washing line? A pair of tights.:}

What do you get if you cross a gorilla with an Anglia controller?

Nothing, gorilla's aren't that stupid!:D

[Odi]

Yay, it's Bended knee time again - only another 14 pages to go for the record...

Continuing on with the same theme as the post above -

Why is there only the one Monopolies Commission?

Why are men's blouses called shirts?

And so on...

[atcomarkingtime]

Hey DON....keep Butlins radar out of this....

Glad to hear you've had a shower anyway Don....not been feeling yourself lately!!!! We'll have to see if Ross's take LV's....then it could be ISZ's sickie meeting point

Anyway....BUZZ BUZZ....ah...its my duckie calling...;)

[U R NumberOne]

:eek: Wow, that's spooky! Around the same time Buzz and I were discussing the resurrection of On Bended Knee at the mega-retirement bash last night, A.M.T. was posting on this very thread...

I think the new keeper of Mr.K's emporium should see about getting a Ross's franchise in the rest/crew room (select your preferred term of reference).

[atcomarkingtime]

U r number1....I know....I so wanted to go to the mega bash....other commitments like being on shift got int way!!!
Dunno bout putting a franchise in the crew room....too many IOU's would end up going in....tell you what tho...put one in Ward 3....prob find more controllers in Ross's than ward 3 tho!!:ok:
Hope all is well old number 1....get a duster out to dust down your electric hat as Monday is fast approaching for you Monday - Friday people and I'll just go and watch the news about this oil rig evacuation on my first day off out of 4....ah!!

[Cuddles]

What do you get if you cross a gorilla with an Anglia controller?

Nothing, gorilla's aren't that stupid!

You can bloody well stop that sort of inflamatory remark. It takes skill and cunning to remain awake.

I never said I had any skill and / or cunning.

[atcomarkingtime]

Hey....Cuddles.....BOO!!!!! I love to wake u up like that!!! Intercom or no intercom.....I'll get ya!!!

[DON GIVACHIT]

Hey Cuddles,

People said that you weren't fit to live with pigs and I said you were.
We still on for the barn raising?:}

[Cuddles]

Don

'People said that you weren't fit to live with pigs and I said you were'

I may have to refer that comment to my lovely wife.:ouch:

[eddyboog]

Must be nice to have the time to post on this. errrrr...

[DON GIVACHIT]

Plenty of time to do this on night shifts.

Soz cuddles, your wife is a lovely lady. How she puts up with you is beyond me.

[atcomarkingtime]

Hey Don...I'm sure Cuddles'''''s wifey gets paid to put up with him!!!!:hmm:
What luverly weather we've had this week...bet the ice station is melting...who'd have thought that we'd nearly get to those balmy FREE MANAGEMENT ICE CREAMS so early in the year.....its normally mid-june when they get worried thinking they'll have to shell out on the ice's to keep us cooler!!!:O

[atcomarkingtime]

I see Offshore appears on NATSNET today....looking good Buzz!!:}

[Co ordination unaffected]

Here we go again. Yet another 'on bended knee' thread. FFS:rolleyes:

It must either be foggy in the North East of Scotland, or the sheep have got headaches.

[atcomarkingtime]

Hey Co-ord....nope not foggy up north....and by the way..the sheep are busy lambing!!!:)

Oh....ISZ chaps....found a thread in the rotorhead section titled NORTH SEA to hijack.....they seem ok so far!!

[atcomarkingtime]

TTT...welcome to probably the best thread in the world.....

[Odi]

[atcomarkingtime]

[atcomarkingtime]
