Wink Monkeys banned from EGLC

Is this true? That since the disappearance of the Northern Arkwright-tastic voice left the tower of power, they just havent been able to cope? Or is this a rumour with it's source in Spain.
Apparently Jerez/Fightertown has had to up its banana quota this season, to keep its styowdents happy.

Dear Mr B. Ling, can't believe you would try and decode my callsign in public.
Your work is poor. Rumour has it that Dangerous Dave is having it away with most of the new BA course in Jerez/Fightertown, some of them are lasses too, so the boy done good. Sort of...
Dave ... don't be a stranger...address your public, they are hanging on your every Paul-Calf-like word.

MILFMILFMILF - Forgive me...I knew not what I was doing. I apologise for drink 'n' ppruning and will never do so again.

Hows life anyway? Forget Triggs!! He is far too happy with his new chummy pilot type Ox-Bridge lot than to be seen yapping to us scum!

He is probably walking around saying "How now, Brown Cow?" and "The Rain in Spain, Falls mainly on the plain!!"

Off to pump my self thoroughly in the de-briefing room...............

It's no joke

Just two TC trainees using pprune as their private chat line.

MMM,

I hope the Northern Monkey is enjoying his time in Spain. Thought he was going BMI? Hope the tower is going well, looking forward to being back there in a couple of month's time!!

Regards

Ayup. Monkey in the house.

Soz lads, been a bit of an e-mail chicken lately due to the system going for a bag of sherbert for the last week. The e-mail in spain has been mainly insane (how´s that for elakushion Brite-Ling-uist). I think i´ll start a pprune subsite using carrier pigeons and whippets, that´s all i had when i was a lad.

Anyway, i would like to fuel the rumour started by MILFMILFMILF (so good they named him 3 times) that the movement rates at LCY have halved lateley since the departure of a certain Ted Bovis type contoller, and researchers have put this down to what is known as the Banana Rating - whereby the movement rate is directly proportional to the amount of bananas scoffed in a shift. What they haven´t realised though is that this is then squared when the controller wears a cheap polo shirt (ten-bob off Doni market) and drives around in a Ford Brian. Doorchicken wins!

Talking of which, i´m sure you´ll think its rite funny to find out that we´ve clubbed together and got a car, yep, a Brian. Time to find out if he can match the performance of the Escort estate seen in Bournemouths New Forrest. We did originally get a Seat Marbella, but it concked out half way between no-where´s-ville and the barber of Seville so we swapped it for a donkey and rode off into the sunset to the nearest Brian garage.

Where´s the rest of you lot anyway. I think it´s time the rest of our course and the scragg ends at LCY should crawl out of the tiny rocks you are hiddings unders and hurl some banter this way. Only MILF and the Ling-uist has got the respek-in-a-area.

Rite, i´m off to find a Uniroyal to hang from.

Scan your strips lads.
Stop. CARRY ON.

He's a natural, aintcha Tyrone...

And so the Monkey's work continues. Soz haven't been in touch mate- check ur box (email that is), plenty of snatch-isms waiting for you. Reckon I've ping'd MILF, but the bright one I've gett'n nay idea.

BTW, which thread is the Arse-craft (d'you like that, changing the names to protect the guilty) currently guesting on? Can't be hooped working my way through them all.

Ey Up T'

Things have been a little quiet since you left LCY. The English<>Doncastarian translator lady now works back at the information desk helping wayward northerners. The English<>Brum Translator is now full time.

Your Ford induced oil patch in the staff car park is slowly fading and has lost its meniscus.

The Banana tree that we were coaxing to grow at the NDB sight now has obstruction lights on it due to the hot summer in blightey.

The smell of baked potato is fading from the microwave (helped by my constant curries) and we no longer find old bits of salmon and mushrooms in the sink strainer.

And finally, the TOI to plug R1 into Spare A RX on weekdays between 13:00 - 15:00 has been removed from Mats II

..oh yeah, and movements are up 10%

AND Rumour is, Expedite your Backtrack likes playing with Microsoft Train Simulator!!

Like all engineers - you're barking up the wrong tree (one could even say the wrong Blackforrest).

We don't have trainsims where I come from! Come to think of it, we don't even have trains .

Expedite Backtrack what are you doing with your life, i leave the place for 5 minutes and your turn into a mentalist playing viz ein trainen simulatoren - a deffinate need for a STOP and no CARRY ON if ever i saw one. I reckon you should get a proper hobby like a rehabilitation course at the clinic cos your addicted to bum fondling, or being paranoid about conspiracy theories.
Any how, Sir Alfie Midnight, how do lad. Should have known it was you. You want to keep that listener number then one day you can go to the antiques roadshow and ask "IS IT WORTH OWT". (sorry, i should have backed off the mike a bit then). Request For Information on the last reported positions of MILF and The Tieknot, they seem to have fecked rite off. I reckon they´ve gone for a classy holiday in Skegness dressed as a pair of Paul Calfs.

Trigger.....

...No doubt that you only read this thread in the ATC forum, now that you are "One of them!", but if you haven't looked at the TAX REFUND thread do so immediately!!

Apparantly even Northern blokes are entitled - as long as you don't buy another Brian!!

You may get about £1000 - about 1/100000 of what you owe for the course!!!

laters dude!!!

Brite Ling, cheers for the tip off old lad, you are the brite-ist of all Lings. I did here a rumour about this earlier and have sent of me begging letter, so it should be in someones in-tray somewhere.
I hope others know about this, then Mullins can afford some more cup-a-soups to share with his mate and barker barker can nitrox his car again.
What´s the latest in the line of truthless rumours at the minute.

Expect late landing clearance, flare but don´t sink.

Well then young Doorchicken, as the great Dr. J (My old man for those of you who'd forgotten) once said..

Let's see if you can answer your own question...

Never one to be held back from a good rumourazzit, I was sitting minding me own business the other day when I overhear a wee conversation.

It would appear that he of the large knotted tie has in fact entered into a relationship of the dark kind with the Camp one, and the reason that sight nor sound has been heard of the aforementioned fashionable one is that he's followed his man up to Manch where they're both living very happily, ensconced in a small but perfectly formed council maisonette in Baguley. Needless to say he wont be bringing his (or do you still afectionately refer to it as your?) Brian out to Jerry's (or wherever it is you are)

Alternatively he could in fact be coming up to his board and so is, quite wisely, choosing not to come out on a bender. All too soon that excuse will be gone tho. One wonders what's next.

As you can imagine I was stunned as I heard the news, ' Hooouw Looky was dat? ' I asked myself. We could've been wondering about his demise forever.

On the other side of the coin, I also heard a juicy bit of info that the young Quim-meister was seeking to look after me, as apparently she wants to steer me through some of her more restricted areas. I told her I wasn't in for any of that danger area malarkey though, preffering to wait a couple of days.

Bored, me? Nah, that's what I heard, honest.

Now then, anyone seen me trousers??...

Only news that you prob know is a certain ex Bulldog fighter ace off to East Mids.

Mullins last know position was Sri Lanka at about the time of the bomb attack! I tried ringing his flat but he no longer lives there!!

Rumours are that he has run off to join a Buddhist cult, telling all he had a cuppa with the Dallai bloke! Will try Mussles and cockles soon....!
