So why is the morale of the busiest Gazelle squadron in the AAC on the downward spiral ?? Why is it people are commenting on the fact that so much has changed in recent months and not for the better.... Can't see why the floppy jocks who aren't getting any flying aren't snapping up the chances to go to the emerald toilet... or maybe I can.

Floppys have always been like that in any sqn. Its just magnified in that one cos it's bigger! :rolleyes:

We eat all the pies and they whine about which blouse to wear! Ops normal! :p

It's because of who they let run it.
The NCO Mafia thrives in the next hanger along and they have no dramas apparently.
But then again, they have got b*llocks!!

Helmut Visorcover
19th Sep 2001, 04:23
Lets get it right ol_ben. We don't run it, we are merely there in an advisory role (Plt Sgt if you will). If that advice is not taken or allowed to be taken, et voila lunatics running the asylum!

PS. how’s the house and how are you managing without me?.....a lot better no doubt!!! :p

PPS. If you need a Lx 4 pilot, give me a shout, sausage side is interesting to say the least!!!!!
:(

Give me a bell.

Well Mr Pilgrim thanks for the constructive comment! I believe that the word pilgrim means one who's on a journey/traveller. Well my son with consolidation and improvement maybe, and I say maybe, one day you may well make the grade and come across to the darkside. After all I was a Gazelle aircraft commander in 8.2 hours - how difficult can it be?

Of course, our Morale may be low we may fly a one engined Airframe but at least we fly it, and to a sufficient standard so we all grade average or above (on Standards) unlike our lard loving brethren.

Cheap shot I know but hey, what do I care. Didn't realise it would turn into the all too often Lynx Vs Gazelle Banter. All too often as its the same people saying the same things. My Choppers bigger, better, faster, etc....

Murph. I take it with the leg Inj you won't be volunteering to be in my syndicate again for Fifth Elephant or perhaps I was in yours.. (that and the fact its a long way to come for a cake and arse party! )
Dwayne

Helmut Visorcover
29th Sep 2001, 04:12
Dwayne, 25 hrs this month thank you very much..oh and while we're at it.. above average to boot!

I'd rather slam my knob in a door than fly 0.1 hour in plastique! I'm sure murph would agree (just how many floppy hours have you got?)

It just HAS to turn into the Lynx v Floppy banter. As where I am, we don't have floppies and I feel withdrawal symptoms coming on through not having my daily superiority trip with quiche land.

Sad fact is now that they are letting previous khaftan wearer's into the brotherhood, it's lowering standards big style! There used to be certain credibility to being a Lynx pilot, but now it's open to all sorts of riff raff. Very understairs if you ask me.

Gone are the days when you could talk about pies, beer and girlies till your heart's content. It's all fluffy kittens and knitting now!

Half of these 'new age' PC, lilly livered, pillow biting ex-araldite jocks couldn't even spell AFCS let alone eat their own body weight in Ginsters!

The topic of conversation usually consists of the latest article in 'Cosmopolitan' as opposed to having a bit of a wheeze at the expense of the unfortunate untermench plastic polers! There is definitely a void left in my life without the Gazelle fraternity in numbers to banter with. The 'new' convertee's are just not a good game of cricket.

DAAVN, please address this issue at your earliest convenience. May I suggest ordering all those who have more hours on Gz in their logbook than Lx to wear a large badge saying 'I'M A LYNX PILOT BY DEFAULT, NOT BY CHARISMA'. At least then we'll know what we're dealing with. Oh, they should also be locked in a small, dark room and poked every 3 hours.

Murph, hope you’re happy now!

29th Sep 2001, 20:23
That will have been me laughing at him with you. But was that before or after laughing at our Morale contingent from the RAF on the ever so difficult 'Tab' up that hill. Something about how many layers of clothing can you possibly wear and still walk!!

right then back to the banter, If no one is interested in the actual topic.
The following is not my own work I hasten to add just borrowed from the MOMIDS Message board
Is it true if you rendered a Lynx Pilot down you would have enough lard to make 7000 edible candles ?

Helmut Visorcover
30th Sep 2001, 00:10
10,000 actually Dwayne! If wit were a candle, a Gazelle pilot wouldn't have enough to illum a small box.

CBR, I do apologise profusely. I tried to E mail you the other night when I realised who you were. But Asbach got the better and I mailed some complete nonsense to my bank manager. I thought you were that Khaftan wearing CBR rider who’s daddy was something in the crabs. Similar handle you see. So any offence, I regret.

Any way the third brandy twin just mailed me (would that make us triplets!?) so we are now complete! Let the war begin! Any quiche eaters fancy trying your arm at some intellectual banter? Glove slap in face.

I think they are all logged on to www.cosmopolitanchat.com (http://www.cosmopolitanchat.com) .

Murph, you are duly appointed as an honoury member to the SWFBDTC. Although technically that would make us quadruplets!?!

looking back (i could have played it differently), sorry I borrowed an ABBA LP from a lynx jock. I was reminded of a mighty lynx pilot who liked to take HER slippers and crochet down "south", to knit knee blankets for all the old farts that (dont) fly lynx. So dont sit there hanging over the sides of your chair trying to give us grief. From my experience, you need safety in numbers before you start giving out banter, two crews at a time cant do it, so i dont think the rest of you logged on to pprune can. Anyway, you all sound like the record i borrowed at the start, old, scratched, worn out and overplayed. PS murph,i am who you think i am, but not at the moment. Mars Bar anyone? :p

JHC
Excuse me. Do you realise how our hierarchy make us look like to the rest of the world? Second rate organisation to most others. When our glorious Corps can get us some flying, when COs get a grip of the REME and MAKE them provide aircraft for us to train in then we may gain some credibility. Don't preach from your ivory tower. On a recent tour in the Emerald Toilet I worked my nuts off in that sqn only to be looked down on by the organisation we worked for, provided with second rate accomodation and equipment to do a first rate job.

Now let's look at the example set to us ......

exactly how many recently commissioned officer (LE) have jumped ship recently? How many highly qualified pilots have been turned down for commissioned in favour of *superb, wonderful characters* who have subesuently left?

How about, for once, we support those on the front line and tear our corporate eyes from that alluring bright star otherwise known as AH. Oh, sorry, has that turned into another farce? Must've missed that bit, just like the in-service date and the other targets our leaders have signed up to and missed the boat.

I assume from your name that you either work there or support the ideals of that set up, if so, get out of your office and visit a bit, talk to the coalface.

Off soapbox now, nice meeting you old chap, another G&T?

Well having worked a great deal with those Lynx types I feel I can comment on their stinking attitudes and also their opinion that they are superior pilots. From what I've seen they tend to live in an EGO bubble, that has obviously blinded them to their limited ability/intelligence, I mean how can anyone struggle to fly an aircraft that has that much power and all those management systems, I am also of the understanding that the A/C has an artifical intelligence system to make up for the lack of it in the two front seats!

Ultimately they all wanted to be RAF pilots but failed to make the grade, and enjoy the Lynx 5 job while you have it.

See Ya, wouldn't wanna be ya!!!!

Kent you muppet that was not an attempt at humour, although as a floppy man you would'nt know that would you. Not that your frat ever actually started humour always on the defensive. It was a statement pure and simple and am sure that if it is banter you want well turn over a new leaf and actually start some thing , be a first for a floppy guy. If not crack on mooching about in floopy hell wondering why you get all the good jobs ( Oh here's a map take it here) bloody demanding stuff and if you grow up a bit join in banter. It is just Banter you know I even though I don't want to admit to having floppy driver mates I do. But no you won't will you rather sit on side lines and pick holes in statements ah well never mind one day they'll ditch that machine of yours for something that ( NI apart) actually has a use apart from cluttering up the pan.

I bet you dont mind having a lift in the araldite pursuit ship when the twin engined torque monster becomes a single engined drip tray do you? Yes I like banter too, but do try some new stuff, your lynx banter (or should that be BUNTY) manual is out of date.

So just to clarify, you are better than everyone else because you always start the banter...?
Please tell me I am missing the point..
Kent,
I don't think it is Bunty as even that has been brought up to date. I get the impression that someone has lost the key to the "banter" locker, unfortunately they haven't lost the key to the ration locker, the upshot of which is they are getting fatter but not any funnier.

simply a case of same s**t (Banter), different day.

I started this thread, but before you roll off the sofa and get your all too fat fingers near your all too small keyboard, I am quite happy for you to take the responsibility for starting the banter...

Watch you don't trap your ass in the door as you close it will you. :D

Oh go on, say something original please..

KentBrockman
12th Oct 2001, 21:18
To anyone about to read this, put the kettle on first. I refer the honourable CBR to his post about banter/being defensive, CBR "Not that your frat ever actually started humour always on the defensive. if it is banter you want well turn over a new leaf and actually start some thing , be a first for a floppy guy. If not crack on mooching about in floopy hell wondering why you get all the good jobs ( Oh here's a map take it here) bloody demanding stuff and if you grow up a bit join in banter.

is it me or do these people never avtually start banter!!!"
Edited by me cos i kept falling asleep (banter) i will give you a pound for every bit of "BANTER" you can find in your post, hell i'll give you two. Have a look in the dictionary (childs edition, with pictures) and find what banter means, learn it and try some. and as for a useful cab, Oh the lynx, its dead powerful (slick), its really fast (slickerer), it can carry 4 blokes (for 15 mins) and it can fly upside down (impressive, ill admit that) but like i said before, its a heap of junk that can do a loop, flown by AFCS with a couple of monkeys monitoring it. and its only got two engines to carry all the make up you poofs wear, cant drink, cant fight and have to be in bed by nine. Do you know what that sounds like...jealousy. :D :D :p
Oh and before any tree hugger starts with a lawsuit, its not a personal attack on Mr CBR cos i dont know him (yet) its just us and them (ugh) :rolleyes:

Helmut Visorcover
13th Oct 2001, 02:05
Sorry to butt in, Kent but banter must always be light hearted, funny, witty (razor sharp) and given out on equal terms. I think your post has succumbed to the 'bitching/slagging/chip on shoulder levels'.

If you really knew CBR, you would know him to be the kind of chap that never resorts to a slanging match of council estate proportions just because he couldn't think of anything clever to say. No I'm not CBR!

Your remarks with regards to the Lynx make me smile inwardly. When did you go back to flying Gazelles after you lengthy tour on the beast? Ah, you didn't, I can hear you say to yourself. Well, may you please remember that most fat boy lardy Lynx types have experienced the Araldite pursuit ship, that can not be said of the quiche eating fraternity the other way round. In my experience, Khaftan wearers tend to be frustrated Lynx pilots but for whatever reason have never quite made the break to 'stabilisers off' flight.

Here's a question for you. Given the choice when purchasing a car, would you go for the one with all the optional extras (cruise control, power steering, ABS) or take the Maestro 1.1L bog standard with ****** all but the drivers seat? Why have a dog and bark yourself?

I've decided not to bother placing the word 'banter' in brackets after certain sentences such as yourself because I believe those that get the joke don't need reminding!

Please, please, please keep it light hearted and don't fall into the inferiority complex trap that so many do.

All throb monster drivers know the short falls (long falls if your MSVRH is tonk!) of the cab, we can deal with them. I find the Gaz frat in general to be the ones that take the wee wee out of something the know little about. Whereas my 212.5 hrs plastique makes me more than qualified to dish out the superiority trip on you load of 'squat to pee' types!

Challenge you to a pie eating contest any day!
:rolleyes:


CBR, check your private message thing pretty damn bloody quick!

Helmut, there is no way i would accept that challenge, you have more spare pie capacity than i weigh! As for my comments, please bear in mind the amount of non-plastique throbbers out there flying the missing lynx and you can see my point. As for CBR, no doubt i would love him like a bro, obviously the kind of bro that has a job as the village idiot.
You keep eating the CJD pies and i'll stick to my quiche and cosmopolitan for now, i might sell out one day if i need a tax free car. Its nothing personal, just business. :D :D

CBR,
After the last post may I just say.
"My dad's bigger than your dad."
I thought I'd say that as you realy are scraping the barrel, with "I'm not the one flying the plastic bit of crap".
How long did that take you to think up ?

I suppose you are at a bit of a disadvantage as you are not used to being on your own. If in doubt, get another pie eater to confirm humour content of comment before posting..

I suppose PPRUNE is the only solo time you get really... Pilots Course not withstanding of course, all quality solo hours there obviously.. :D

tis not a penis thing Kent, clearly you just have no get and and go I think they call it. Bikes are not an extension of a penis, sorry you probably drive a Volvo so won't go there. Whatever your sport is tis OK but as yours is basket weaving well I'll say no more

Kent..you are great ...CBR ..as far as i'm aware you dont even fly a Lynx anymore, come round for a coffee and tell me all about it (I don't live that far away)..Oh..and as for bikes being penis extensions..believe me -I NEED ONE and i have one..but alas, it doesn't work..it just goes dead fast.

I think you are all fantastic..NO.I really do..then again I have had 14 pints down Muskies :D

Ron, a realist, at last. Yeh, your right CBR no londer flies the throb monster. But he's been there and got countless T-shirts. Believe mem, he needs to prove f u c k all to anyone!

It strikes me that the only comeback on the quiche side of life is ' yeh but we still solo'. And your point is? I fly with my mates and have a wheeze everytime I flugel. Dont need solo time, means sod all to me. Been there and all that malarkey. Who else would pay for Cafe and Kuchen on a fly away?

Ever had to shut an engine down Kent? I like to get a unanimouse decision when I come across such regular events as opposed to me, myself and I. You just have to deal with the real world of mutli engine, multi crew CRM. Thats life, and I don't mean with Esther Rantzen!

I used to use the chat up line when I was a grunt that "I was a Lynx pilot from Hildesheim" (tres sad, I know)got me 5h!t loads of shags with the local slappers. I hate to think who would have been feeling my collar if I'd suggested I was a Gaz puke! By the way, I don't use that line anymore now I am a Lx puke. Aquadozer driver normally suffices!

To summerise, Gz types know that they are lower than whale poo but they still try to push their inferiority complex on us more rounded types. I'm happy, are you?

BTW, do the crabs have a situation similar to teeny weeny airways when it comes to Lx/Gz 'banter'? :rolleyes:

I'd just like to let everyone know how much I'm enjoying this thread.

Murph,
Trust you it ain't worth it, you should know as I seem to remember that you have had a couple of attempts at flying it !
How must that have hurt :)

Helmut,
Multi-Crew CRM, I'm sorry you are so right. I will stop this banter forth with. Still if you can't manage it on your own, get some one to help you.
As to the chat up lines, now that would be a good topic for a thread. I can't tell anyone I'm a pilot (even of an airframe as mighty as the Gazelle) they simply would never believe me. Under water wood welder, now thats a different matter.


I don't think the crabs have enough personality to have inter-farce banter, too busy tree hugging and worrying about crew duty time I'm sure. :p

Hay Helmut.
What do you mean 'Gaz types know they are lower that whale poo'. When I was visiting you last week you were the one behind the crew room bar making me the coffee, and right at home you looked too. How about some of these chocky bickies you keep hidden next time.

Regards
Your bestest friend

PS I love flying in the Lynx but I must try landing in one sometime.

Helmut, if you managed to get loads of sha99s in Hildeshiem saying you were a Lynx puke then they were either deaf, stupid or a tanky. No decent bird would fall for that line, I know I tried before you.

helmut, your right, CRM is the way ahead, thats why some of the bunters in the toilet cant be trusted to fly with each other. Mind you if i had an engine failure, i wouldnt need to discuss which lever to pull back. Dont get me wrong, we need you guys you won the war for us, who else could have got rid of the EC Pie mountain, but dont play your part up, you need two monkeys up front, one per lever and you still get that wrong :p and as for paying for cafe and kuchen, i dont think paddy is that accommodating at the minute

Murph, you had to go back on the throbber(s), its no use having a gaz with two crew and no fuel cos you put us over the aum :D enjoy the sun and ill see you soon

ps Helmut, i know what you look like and slappers is all you get no matter what line you use :eek:

edited cos i thought of something else

All this Banter is making me dizzy, to think you used to have to go 9's to avoid speaking to Chicken leg nonce's, mind you the Gem pursuit ship was always easy with Dvr & talking baggage, I heard it was only changed to allow below par Floppy jocks to get Twin time, remember you fly on your own yeah , but who wants to fly with you. LONG MAY THE BANTER GUSH

Ol ben,
You know me, Oh really. I only dribble after a pint (or two). So do tell. :)
Private message thingy being the order of the day. After all I have been misidentified once or twice already. I can't see the point in guessing or trying to guess who people are, or claim to be. What is the point in having an anonymous newsgroup if people are constantly saying, "I know your name" (you have to say it in your best North Belfast accent to do it justice). The few people I know on here have chosen to tell me or it is by shear coincidence, or in Murph's case having spent a glorious week together in the Galloway forest saying "Arse" a lot. These days we simply don't have the opportunity to interact with our lard loving brethren, although some things are welcome in the change in the emerald toilet, the demise of fifth elephant is definitely a step (or several hundred) in the right direction.
Another thing is, as anonymous as this is, any point I have brought up here I am more than willing to sit and talk about over several beers, in fact if any body who is capable, wants to pull up a beer and discuss them any of the bars at alderbananas on most of the nights of the weekend (that is days 5,6 and 7 for the floppies). I am more than game, in fact we probably have already... :)

Dwayne, you will one day see the light. It's not the airframe we fly (I refer you to Future Lynx thread) but all to do with attitude, personality and generally how we complete ourselves as a person. May I refer you to virginity.

We pride ourselves on the fact that niff, naff and trivia do not present an overwhelming factor in our state of being. To put it in laymens terms (floppy language), we don't whine over total boIIock5 and have more important things regarding life to think about (how many incident reports have you filled?)!!!!!

:rolleyes: :cool: :p

Helmut,
Unfortunately I have had to fill in several incident reports, though quite why that means you hold life in any higher regard I don't know.
As to it being a state of mind not a state of airframe, its a good job given the state of your airframe. ;)
So Lynx Pilots don't whine then ? Do they wipe there arse when they go to the toilet ? Or is that part of the tantric magic as well ?
