At the subsequent meeting with the Air Boss, Hoskins explained that the carrier Zigged as he Zagged. So he could not be accountable (this time)

The Fireman was REALLY miffed with Hoskins. He had a full house when the crash alarm sounded

Apologies for this being a quickie but work calls. So I will judge now rather than drag it out for you.

There were some goodies in here so choosing an outright winner wasn't easy.

Runners up were
Shy Torque with -Told you it's not a good idea to put the ship's beehive on the flightdeck!

Wensleydale with - Anyone here live in Salisbury?

and Buster Hyman with - Note to Maintenance: Check pressure on Fire Extinguisher. Seems a little high.


Buster would have won but his lack of understanding of Newtons 3rd Law "pushed" me towards the winner ...



Dan Gerous with - Having completed his mission, Derek the Cyberman was hoping to sneak away unnoticed.

The mental image of an evil, single-minded killing machine being called Derek made me laugh out loud. Mrs Whipping Boy thought I had gone mad.
(thinking about it "Mrs Whipping Boy" just doesn't sound right somehow)
Anyway....

Over to you Dan.

I've been lucky with a few wins this year on the capcom, so instead of posting a pic myself, I'll open it up to anyone who hasn't won before.

Irish Air Tours showed real promise until the Helicopter Pilots went on strike demanding pay parity with the Bus Drivers.

She must fancy him, or she wouldn't have raised her backside like that. The offspring should be interesting though.

Dimitri wondered whether the buses go-faster stripes would make the helicopter go faster.
