Has anyone seen Gonzo...?

He was last seen getting in the external lift at Hounslow Tower at 0620hrs this morning. He never materialised in the VCR.

Does anyone know where the cheeky little imp might be....?

Move along, nothing to see here....

If anyone's interested, there are 1763 non-slip nodules on the floor in the external lift.

And who the heck thinks I've been in Aberdeen? That's three people now....

Thanks HD, and thank you for all the PMs people.

It seems some were really worried about how I was....losing consciousness etc.

In reality, I was critiquing GMC, and doing push-ups to keep warm!

Just imagine a United crew taxiing out of Golf....

"Hey Larry...is that guy in the elevator waving at us?"

"Gee Don, I think he is. Maybe we should wave back."

"He must be cold up there. Betya he's glad he wore that waistcoat!"

"Damn straight Don"

glad you got out ok gonzo

....and the crying shame of it is, I didn't even have a waistcoat on!!!

Wonder how that morning's delay works out....

NATS attributable due staffing, but the staff was stuck in a BAA lift!!!
