Just doing my bit.
Buzz, as to the merits I think that it'll be possible to meet the requirements.
1. PROOF
Will a photograph or testimony from an independent person do?
2."More sensible to stay indoors"
You should see the driving here, IT'S ALWAYS MORE SENSIBLE TO STAY INDOORS.
3."WX conditions......unlikely to complete the journey."
WX is pretty much a constant, however as to liklihood of completing the journey, I refer you to my answer to 2. above.
4."Journey for pointless reason."
Going to work?
5."company of a trucker"
Nah, you're alright, I didn't want the award anyway.

Keep the abuse flowing.
Regards from the sandpit.

BuzzLightyear 16th April 2001 01:55

1.Sure will. Especially photographic evidence, it'd give us all something to have a chortle about.
2.Point taken, you qualify by default!
3.Alright no need to brag about the hot sunny wx!
4.That'll do nicely sir, or should that be "Sor"?
5.Merely an option, would accept a tribe of Bedouin tribesmen who had only had the company of camels for a few months.

Have you sampled any of the local delicacies yet? Super size McSheepseyes and chips twice please :)

Hello boys and sandmen http://www.pprune.org/ubb/NonCGI/cool.gif Dad is back from the sunny south having thawed out the snowmobile. :) :) :)

This thread hi-jacking malarkey is spreading http://www.pprune.org/ubb/NonCGI/eek.gif

Go to the Questions forum and look under London ATC :) :)

driver 8 17th April 2001 22:25

Data dad...

Just looked at your post on the above mentioned forum and I want to know why you have the address you linked to in it? ;)

Watching the film is one thing but that site is particularly sad.....

(Well that should get the hits on the site up anyway as everyone here is probably gonna go have a look to work out what the hell I'm talking about)

Hope the south is still sunny as I'm off down on Saturday..

Concrete 18th April 2001 02:35

Too right Dad, that thread is most definitely ??.25 DME from the ADN.

As for sad sites D8, think sideways a little and you shall realise why a couple of us zebras ended up at http://www.zztop.com

Looks like I was premature with the thawing out of the snowmobile :)

More white stuff falling ..... "can I have the Braking Action figures please....WHY NOT!"

Odi 19th April 2001 00:59

Slightly off topic, but as this thread is very definitely squawking 7500 I can't see it being a problem.

Buzz,

A mutual colleague informs me that you have problems making cups of coffee at formal events. Any truth to this rumour?

With the return to Ice Station Zebra of the white, cold stuff you missed your chance to perform heroics on your way into work! It appears this responsibility has fallen onto another person.

Data Dad 19th April 2001 01:43

Buzz, guess who got to do the rollover extrication this morning :) :)

The snowmobile performed admirably on the untreated roads - must be all the practice!

BuzzLightyear 20th April 2001 04:24

Odi

Yup that's right!Completely the waitresses fault old bean, she told me the pot contained coffee, stupid girl. :) Rather embarrassing when its the Boss you then hand the cup to, half filled with coffee and freshly topped up with tea!! Toffee anybody?

Dad

Try doing something original for a change! :) First you copy me getting stuck in the white stuff, now you try to emulate my super-hero acts!!! Oh dear, I can feel another association coming on! How about Association of Atcos Recovering Stupid drivErs, A.A.R.S.E.?

By my reckoning this must be message 50 - how long can we go on for?

terrain safe 21st April 2001 01:20

About 49 messages too long!!!

PS Message to Daniel. The best team beat Barca last night.

Terrain Safe - squawk ident!

There's no hiding your identity from these people, I tried and failed....

Ahh, the Boy returns...

So I see that my nickname for our esteemed workplace has been taken up in other threads.

Today a silly name,

Failing that, another silly name

This thread can't be allowed to go the way of all the others, so here's a big thank you to whoever started this thread and let us take unlawful control of it in the first place.

And a note to all of you in the college. If you really don't fancy the Area radar course, this place isn't anywhere near as bad as some people make out.

(There's a hint there somewhere)

Father Jack 27th April 2001 10:42

Monkey Boy,
YOUR "nickname for the place"
Don't get carried away with yourself!

"Youth is wasted on the young"

(How many is that now?)

"A.A.R.S.E.!" Yeah it's got a certain familiar ring to it that I'm quite comfortable with.

Nickname om PPrune anyway.

Are the Arabs dinners as big as what you're accustomed to?

terrain safe 28th April 2001 00:09

Has Alex moved off the sofa yet?

Concrete 29th April 2001 23:22

For your information Terrain Safe, I have just spent a week in a completely sofa-free environment. Are you AP or QF?

Watch out world, it appears I passed.

The inexplicable lure of ISZ appears to be contagious...

Spoonbill 1st May 2001 01:30

Well - its the 01st May in 1hr 23mins time, and Take 5 has had his interview, sailed through his training, and indeed, is now a watch supervisor at Heathrow.
See what happens when the rest of us prattle on and don't watch our backs for the youngsters?
;) ;) ;)

cavalier 1st May 2001 20:28

boroatco
Don't like to get involved in all this PD mutual m**t**bation.
Good to see your alive, not too bored I hope.
Just remember "are you SURE thats going to work?!!"

The Jaguar Fan Club 2nd May 2001 01:34

Well, that means it is just about time for another Ice Station Zebra inmate to make an appearance! :)

Man, it really makes your head hurt trying to work out who everyone is....not for the faint hearted! :rolleyes:

Concrete, be gentle with your new "apprentices". We are short of bods already, and there is only a limited supply of goodies in the ops room filing cabinets! :)

Back to watching paint dry.....

terrain safe 2nd May 2001 01:53

Concrete has apprentices??????

Help us all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

U R NumberOne 2nd May 2001 11:35

Have no fear Jaguar Fan Club! The brave B Watch PPRuNe outing team are always on standby to do the honours - besides my head usually hurts when I leave that building, so a bit more pain working out who you are won't matter! :)



BuzzLightyear 6th May 2001 00:39

Boroatco

How you doing boy, picked up any Kate O'Mara lookalikes recently? :)

Terrain Safe

Alex has a reserved sign on the sofa and has been known to throw his teddy out of the cot if someone dares to sit on it. Apparently if he ever goes there will be a brass memorial plaque mounted on it! :)

JFC

We'll get you soon enough, you may as well own up now.

Thought the other residents of PD would like to know our namesake film is on Channel 5 on Tuesday (8th) at 2100. :)

monkey boy 14th May 2001 00:28

Even when FJ gets a set of wheels, as long as he takes his cues from the residents of his new home, and directs his faith in the right direction, he will never become a member of AASS, as no mishaps will befall him!

safetyisourtoppriority 15th May 2001 04:19

Father Jack

It took me a few seconds, but I have just sussed out who you are!!

Like you I have Summer all year round!

Take it easy and don't let the sand get between anything delicate.

Let's keep em apart

The Jaguar Fan Club 15th May 2001 20:36

I have today been subject to a brutal and cruel act at the hands of my colleagues at ISZ.

In the full public glare of the ops room, I was unashamedly "outed" by the B Watch PPRuNe Outing Team. http://www.pprune.org/ubb/NonCGI/frown.gif http://www.pprune.org/ubb/NonCGI/frown.gif http://www.pprune.org/ubb/NonCGI/frown.gif

To the individuals concened...

Buzz - beat ya to it! :)

U R Number One - Are you still in a "Dancing Mood" from last night?

NOw that my anonymity at ISZ is no longer sacred...I may as well jump on the band wagon....who's next boys???

Odi 16th May 2001 13:31

Always the same, we go on our two days off only to find that there was a public outing. Next time, try and wait until we are there.

Odi

U R NumberOne 16th May 2001 14:23

Sorry about that Odi - ask for a watch change to be closer to the outing action! I'm working with Buzz and Data Dad again this afternoon, so who will it be next????

Jag Fan Club - Outed after just two weeks and four posts...tsk,tsk my son, you didn't even put up a fight. The B Watch Outing Team have no option but to refer this case to the Association of ATCOs Rapidly Outed at Work (AAROW) for consideration. :) And if "The Phantom Appreciation Society" makes an appearance on these hallowed pages - you know where we'll look first http://www.pprune.org/ubb/NonCGI/eek.gif

Co ordination unaffected 17th May 2001 02:13

Who is he then?

------------------
Request co-ordination, that sofa doesn't match the curtains.

TheLizard 17th May 2001 03:27

An apprentice of Concrete... not many moons have past since such a thing would be unthinkable.

But I must ask of you this:
are there enough sofas in the PD restroom for Concrete to impart his worldly wisdom in its entirety?

For even with the best will in the world, no man can fit another man's "ass groove"...


Concrete 17th May 2001 05:58

Dear Lizard

I'm a pretty laid back kinda guy (hence all the sofa jokes), but if your gonna slag me off, at least have the balls not to do it anonymously.

I can take it from people I know coz I know if they mean it or not. I haven't got a clue who you are, so don't make me mad. You wouldn't like me when I'm mad (just ask Boydie).

Concrete 17th May 2001 06:09

If the above goes a little too far, I apologise to Towers and Radar, but TL was getting a little too personal for my liking.

Jag Fan Club, I don't need the B-Watch outing team to tell me who you are. The rumour last week was that you were Count Vernacular (One.......ha ha ha.....two.....)

------------------
What is your one purpose in life?

To explode of course.

The Jaguar Fan Club 18th May 2001 01:48

Not sure I follow that one Concrete....

UR NumberOne..no such thing shall appear as, believe it or not, The Jaguar Fan Club was created as a derogatory nickname and not, as Buzz believes, as a spotters club!!! :rolleyes:

Jag aircrew were not my favorite last month!

So Buzz, do I get a gucci certificate for my AAROW exploits, or just the satisfaction of being outed? :)

Who ever let the truth get in the way of a good rumour?
