Black flag days

[Bervie]

Being fairly bored today (black flag). Any suggestions of things to do to pass the time - anything considered.

- Stack to the bar is too obvious, be creative.

:p

Battle formation on bicycles used to be a favourite - especially in thick fog.

[Gainesy]

...and in the bar?

[4PON4PIN]

'Aintcha got an Uckers Board? Whatever happened to "Four fer Kirky?" or "Who's in for Clag" ....Play first....
Then you go to the bar!

I am of course assuming you have other squadron pals around and not "Scott Nofrenz" or "Billy Nomates" because I certainly wouldn't be suggesting you play with yourself! ;)

[OldBonaMate]

Do as we did at Wittering in the mid-70's. Declare an "executive lunch" and adjourn to the bar for pre-drinks and a sit down lunch with wine etc. Then when you emerge from the Mess well fed and feeling at one with the world you can admire the bright sunshine and the 5 mile plus vis.

Great lunch, but never trust a Met man.

:D :D

Well, you could do some paperwork, write a couple of reports then update all the virus software on the unit, do a bar check and battle with the out of date accounts software, write a presentation and do a few other little jobs around the place. By the time all of that is done the weather will have much improved, but you will be too kn@ckered to fly :(

Or........play Uckers, stack to the bar, miss dinner so head off for a curry in town, miss the last bus and spend £30 on a taxi........great :D

Hunt the Pi$$er!

[fobotcso]

Dead Ants! :eek:

[AllTrimDoubt]

Learn your FRC's!!

[Bervie]

AllTrimmeDoubt - Come on! ;) FRC`s I can read in my room at night! Whilst transcribing the Aircrew manual

[Woz]

Tonks! Update the virus protection?? Do the stock checks?? When you say "do" I presume that's a term for "pass on to your favourite holding officer"...........?

:)

[PICKS135]

£30 for a taxi. You woz robbed.

[whowhenwhy]

If you're in Islas Malvinas you can always hang around all day getting bored waiting for just as bored aircrew to decide that the 45kt cross-wind isn't actually going to lessen so we can all go home. Oh, you all left already and forgot to tell us! :D

Things are always worse than they seem!

[Murphy]

Sit by the pool, enjoying a beer or two, whilst soaking up the Sun!!

(And that is a BAD weather day) :p

[Flt Lt Spry]

Bervie - ain't you near the Cool Pool? In which case, get down to Rockin' R's and waste (neigh, invest) a few loonies...

[sharp'n'pointy]

Just been introduced to the art of balancing furniture on top of coke bottles. Passes the time and confuses the hell out of people when they come back to their office. Anyone got any records for the biggest piece of furniture on a bottle 2 seat sofe is the best so far.

[Olly O'Leg]

Anyone got any clues what to do for FIVE black flag days in a row??? We're right out of ideas........ :confused: :confused: :confused:

[KD]

Depends . . . .Is it - 20 with wind chill outside ?

[fobotcso]

Flt Lt Spry, a "Loonie" won't get you much these days. Minimum beer token these days is more likey to be a "Toonie".

For non-Canuckophiles that is one of those relatively new Can$2.00 coins.

[moggie]

Of course if you are a truckie (on grown up aeroplanes) there are NO black flag days because the weather is always good enough for you to get airborn to go somewhere nicer than where you currently are.

60m viz at BZN is not stopper when the destination is Hawaii!

[peterward]

Fobs-Just to be fastidious, 'Spry did in fact say invest a couple of Loonies. However, the flaw in his plan was suggesting going to the Rockin' 'R'. For those who haven't sampled its delights, fine if you like webbed feet........ :p

[Olly O'Leg]

Tell you what, there have been many "Loonies" whiled away over the past week trying to prevent suicidal tendencies!! Still no "Up Tiddly-Up". ******. P'raps naked dancing in the snow......... :cool: :cool:

[fobotcso]

Beermonkey, he said "a fewLoonies..". But Hey!, it's a hell of a Black Flag Day when all we can quibble about is the difference between a Loonie and a Toonie.

You appear to be where I wish I could be, but never will be again. Have an Alta 39 on me. :D

[Bervie]

6 days in a row and counting.

Weather is still stacked and Moons is wearing thin.


Dear Santa
Please can we have a break in the weather so we can fly our toys outside without fitting a snowplough to the nosewheel for taxiing.

;)

[Olly O'Leg]

Now there's an idea for the next Squadron project........ bahhhhhhhhh!!!!! :p :p

[KD]

Mexicano ? Tink ?

Might see some G`ing of the C`s !!

Eh ? ;) :D ;) :D

[Olly O'Leg]

BISON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :eek: :eek: :eek:

[Olly O'Leg]

Bervs - just thought of a great Black Flag idea (considering it's now 12 days in a row) - get yerself on the Edinburgh thread and you'll get the idea. :D :D

[KD]

Pitch up for Met Brief , hope you get stacked , take a long weekend in Jasper.

Q`s ?

[peterward]

Can someone book some good weather this week please? Morale is just too high in the colonies...... :(

[Bervie]

8 flying days........

Will the torment ever end.

[Olly O'Leg]
