Sorry skwinty - croist minn, that won't mean anything to a Yarpie....:E:E

skwinty 18th Aug 2011 16:58

It's Japie by the way.:}

Lightning Mate 18th Aug 2011 17:00

OK smartass - you'll pay for that......................................:E

HappyPass 18th Aug 2011 17:01

There's a certain similarity to the Levasseur of a couple pages ago, but I don't think it's a Lev this one.


(minimum) eight miles from home
eeeeh... quite a bit farther than that in this case ;)

Lightning Mate 18th Aug 2011 17:04

A South African is enjoying a hearty breakfast -
coffee, croissants, toast, butter & jam, etc. when
an American, chewing gum, sits next to him and
starts an unwanted conversation:

American: "You South Africans eat the whole bread?"
South African:

"Of course."

American (blowing bubble with his gum): "We don't. In
the States, we only eat what's inside. The crusts we
collect in a container, recycle, rebake them into
croissants and sell them to South Africa."

American: "D'ya eat jam with the bread?"

South African: "Of course."

American (chuckling and crackling his gum between his
teeth): "We don't. In the States we eat fresh fruit
for breakfast, put all the peels, seeds and left overs
into containers, recycle them into jam and sell it to
South Africa."

South African: "Do you have sex in America?"

American: "Of course we do."

South African: "And what do you do with the condoms?"

American: "Throw them away of course."

South African: "We don't. We put them in a
container, recycle them, melt them down into chewing
gum and sell it to America."


but I don't think it's a Lev this one.

Correct!

Lightning Mate 18th Aug 2011 17:15

That will be different then Reg, won't it........:E:E

Red Alert

Get a grip Reg - the Russians left East Germany years ago.....................:mad:

HappyPass 18th Aug 2011 17:19

Does the manufacturer name start with either a "B" or a "P"?

RegDep 18th Aug 2011 17:22


Get a grip Reg - the Russians left East Germany years ago.
I know. Lived there for a while. I mean in the leftovers. More exactly, in an ex-Stasi apartment house. Better built than the others. Had been renovated, though. But had original elevators from the West…..

Lightning Mate 18th Aug 2011 17:26

No mate..........

It seems that Memsab LM and I will have to come to Berlin sometime.

Question!

Use 155 mph Merc or fly and hire a kleine auto?

RegDep 18th Aug 2011 17:31

I would hire one locally. Not that expensive and at least they have steering on the correct side.

By the way, berlin has the best public transport in the whole world. Didn't have an auto for some years in the beginning, and don't have one now. You get everywhere quicker and smoother in Underground (U-bahn), buses, trams or light railroad (S-bahn).

skwinty 18th Aug 2011 17:32

Thanks for all the welcomes lads.:ok:

Sure looks like a Waco now that I've refreshed my memory on the Antonov an 2.

Must look more.

Lightning Mate 18th Aug 2011 17:33

Not that expensive and at least have steering on the correct side.

?????????????????????? :mad:

HappyPass 18th Aug 2011 17:35

...sure he meant on the "right" side... :p

Lightning Mate 18th Aug 2011 17:36

RE-posting the challenge to circumnavigate the banter (which is of poor quality...:E....

http://i636.photobucket.com/albums/u...greenfield.jpg

RegDep 18th Aug 2011 17:45


...sure he meant on the "right" side...
No. They are here on the left side. That's where the boss sits here and there.

Banter getting better here, as you can see…..

So yours is ugly, but is it French? Or is US like Waco? Not talking about the boss, though.

Lightning Mate 18th Aug 2011 17:49


........is it French? Or is US like Waco? ...........
Don't be silly!!

Do not challenge a Fighter Pilot - you WILL lose........

HappyPass 18th Aug 2011 17:54

But of course the left side is the right one! Or... is the right side the left one? ;)

Lightning Mate 18th Aug 2011 17:59


But of course the left side is the right one! Or... is the right side the left one?
In my world left is left and right is right!

You would never have passed the crucial test!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

""missile, missile break left"" - ?????????????.........big bang.....death......

HappyPass 18th Aug 2011 18:00

Break left! No! I mean, right!
*bonk!* (mid-air collision)
that test? :hmm:

Edit: I now see your edit :)

Lightning Mate 18th Aug 2011 18:06

See wot I mean skwinty?

You have to put up with highly trained and experienced fighter pilots on this thread..........(er....r sorry - one)......and totally ignorant people who fantasize....

.........mind you, a lot of these barstewards are very very good......:ok::ok:

HappyPass 18th Aug 2011 18:08

Lightning Mate 18th Aug 2011 18:23


Like from which continent...
You speak like a fifteen year old..................

skwinty 18th Aug 2011 18:34

Growing old is mandatory, growing up is optional.:}

Lightning Mate 18th Aug 2011 18:51


Can we have a clue re. the challenge LM? Like from which continent...

HappyPass 18th Aug 2011 19:08
