ATCO wannabes thread?

Is there an ATCO wannabe thread anywhere around? I can't find any and wanted to make sure there isn't one before I start asking questions...

Don't wanna get murdered by the "this has already been posted" police.

No problem, didn't take it as such.

... and on PPRuNe sometimes he does too But he is exquisitely highly trained to keep all balls safely in the air through thick and thin, so he won't even think about knawing your legs off, Dan, until he knows you have landed safely in his domain

PS Talking balls, I don't suppose Dan is short for Daniella? Only if you find you're in a bit of scrape, I think he has a soft spot

I'm sure S and T has given you lots of sage advice from his years at experience as an ATCO, Dan.

I'm afraid many of us round these parts don't pay that much heed to S and T's ramblings.
