If anyone has any details of UR number one "dancing" at jools holland get them posted. He strongly denied making a show of himself when asked, and its high time the truth was out. This post will make me the first pilot "outed" by B watch but I think it will be well worth it if somone would "out" UR number one's dancing antics.

Unfortunately I have to declare that U R NumberOne was not dancing at the Jools Concert, as he, like the rest of us, was very wary of falling out of the Upper Circle!!

I can report, however, that there was a large amount of knee tapping and foot stamping (with the odd bit if undemanded singing thrown in), but the rest of us who were there are equally guilty of these allegations.

Hey Dad, nice car.

You should have bought a proper Volvo, might have got you through the snow a bit easier, or are you looking forward to getting stuck with a trucker again this season?

Buzz, glad you like the car... wisnae bought with snow in mind....more because of the effect you have on other road users in the early morning This has more airbags than you have validations therefore I WILL survive !

UR No1 was definitely Foot and hand tapping at the gig...but then werent we all

Well, well if it isn't my old mate Direct Turnberry!

As DD and TJFC have already pointed out I was not the only one having a good boogie to that musical wizard Jools Holland. In fact I reckon the 21 colleagues and friends I was with were doing the same. No doubt you'd be like the bloke sat next to me who managed to tap his knee (although not in time to the beat!) during a couple of songs while everyone else around was getting into the swing.

Anyway, its good to see you on ATC issues at last. While you're here you can enlighten my fellow ATCOs on your opinion of the role of ATC in this world. After hearing some of that I reckon you'd be lucky to get Direct Turnberry from a Prestwick departure!!

UR Number one

I would'nt watch Jools Holland if he was playing in my back garden, never mind pay to go. Maybe I could go and watch some good music with your mate Foo Fighter.

My opinion of ATCO's, well they are the lovely people that I speak to on the radio who always are happy to help. I don't know what your up too with your nasty comments but I would never say anything bad about Air Traffic. Of course the exception to that is any ATCO that works the Athens FIR and you after the previous post.

DCT Turnberry,
Nice to have another on the thread with some musical taste... Jools Holland? ATCOs grooving? I can imagine it: "C'mon Aberdeen, let me hear you rattle your zimmer frames!!" Guys, you make me breakdown...

For those of you with musical taste (and I can see I may be in a minority group here), Jools is Live in Concert on Monday 28th May at 2030 on Radio 2.

Hey Buzz, so this is what you and your 'b' shift buddies spend their spare time doing huh?
Spending your lunchtime with a scanner & binocs is *much* more healthy you know.
I'll leave you to it - keep the thread going!

I saw JH live last year and while he is popular and good at what he does, he isn't exactly inspiring or original. Boogie on No1.

What we really need is a picture of TheLizard with long hair.

And Buzz, One Of These Nights (again).

Going back to my earlier "pop" at the ISZ groovers: to be fair, the quality / quantity of musical performers that make the long trek to play in ISZ-land is not wonderful - when anyone half decent turns up (JH included) you have to make hay while the sun shines, musically speaking.

DD,
I do these things for the greater good... anyway, I don't bother any more because of the green tint ;-)

Concrete,
I COULD dig one out, but I'd have to shoot you... Now, if you were to include one of your own such photographs in the offer, I might be persuaded... and:

"And hooptiously drangle me with crinkly bindlewurdles,
Or I will rend thee in the gobberwarts with my blurglecruncheon, see if I don't"

Come on B watch outing team, it can't be that difficult.

Can it?

Dad, have you calmed down now?
Buzz, how is the limp?
URno1, Is it still taking you weeks to drive across the apron, on account of your photographic afflictions?

Shurely not!

Don`t leave it so long next time.

Annanutherone, have the PPrune outing team found you out yet? I can't believe you have stayed hidden all this time.

Perhaps the outing is taking longer because URNo1 is away in Canada looking at grand pr*cks (or at least that's what I thought he said!)

Odi. I can't believe it either.

Save some of the valium for me.
