Thanks,

Ops staff passing flight plan details to ATC via squawk box
"Capt's name is Allcock"
"How do ya spell that?"
"Alllll - Cock, as in prick"
Capt to Lead Dry " Funny sense of humour these Americans"
Lead Dry " Yes sir, but they always seem to be remarkably accurate"
Capt "Right everybody! Transport's outside, let's go now!"
Great Det, won $250 on a one arm bandit in the bowling alley

. . .the best medicine. . .
"He wouldn't tell you your coat's on fire." - relic of pipe smoking days when the briar would absent mindedly be parked in the pocket, still with an ember.
and a corollary - "You wouldn't piss on him if he was on fire."
Yank walking down Todd Street, main drag Alice Springs, says to local - "You know what this place is fella? This is the arsehole of the world." "Yairs mate - you just passing through?" (Think nasal twang).

'Flat as a witch's tit'.
Or, from an Air Clues article (I learnt about flying from that?) a few years ago:
'... airspeed disappearing faster than a basket of chips at Happy Hour'.
Can't remember anything else about the story at all!

The unintelligible banter challenge thread.
Here's the challenge: Make a posting that actually means something to other steely eyed MIL types but is absolutely unreadable by soft handed, spotty, civvie street paper pushers ... erm, like me 
Extra points if it remains indecipherable even when applying what little context can be gleaned from words like 'and' and 'if' and 'the' etc.
Extra points also for inter and intra service insults

Fifteen Two'd my Bezzy Opps at Uckers and then we put on our Dog Robbers and went Baron Strangling down the Gut. Proffed big style and not one Sticky Green was dished out! ...and we Got Goffered by a Joe Baxi on the way back!
I've just sent the APREQ to CARF for the leg from NTD to BGR, the ALTRV starts at MLF so it'll be an IFPFP to the start of the PR. Have asked for a 2 hour AVANA but not sure if the ARTCCS can give me that long.
Fortunately the chicks are in Lima fit so I might get away with one bracket, must try to avoid the ahead case for the abort point though or the RAPS calculations will be a bit limiting. Looks like a MCCRN2.LAS is the best solution for the KC1 although there's no transition so it'll have to be DCT MLF. Using a TCR of 40 should compensate for the increased TAS................etc etc

Michael Edic - nope! Understood that! Quite common in civvy street.
Spurlash - you sound like Rowley Birkin QC. Good effort, mostly unintelligible but I think we got this gist!
Cheers

Decode this then...
Today on this 1 Gp OCU, one of our FJ QWIs op-slicked a KFF (not a KRET) using ARBS at the Wainfleet plug, resulting in a DH. He then reattacked with CRV-7. According to the MISREP he wanted to lase a PW III but had to bingo off for a DACT sortie against some random fag-charioteer on QRA. (He is a bit limp though as he was a creamie, but he is getting his scraper very soon!).
On a previous JHC RW sqn, I used to know an ALM QHTI U/T on the HC2 fleet, who during a TACEX, ID'd an LZ on SPTA(W) in UTM, when he should have called it in BNG - he pulled the same trick at SENTA, STANTA and OTTA, and twice on a CQWI COMAO! Shame though, I met him along with some top QHIs/QHNIs while on SEBRW, SEARW and MEARW (Translation for FJ mates: BFT and AFT) He was also a purveyor of good quality Flight Safety material!
QED: That's the script with using LFCs, HACs and ERCs in the LFAs, DUAs and even the MATZ. Therefore you must always maintain SA.....otherwise you end up KIA!
