I understand an offer to exchange said item for a set of alloy wheels has just been rejected.

I was In LUAS but from the University of Central Lancashire. They really will let any academically challenged person onto that squadron . I basked in the knowledge of being in the top 10 percent on the one hand but faced ridicule for being from an old Polly on the other....ive opened old wounds there...very painful.

Excuse my ignorance but who are these northern upstarts? There's only one UAS and it's based at St Athan. All others are inferior imitations :-(

I trust you do not have aspirations for a commission in the Royal Air Force

Could get a job on Blue Peter though!

Here's one we stole earlier! Ha!

Is Celia still working behind the bar in the mess?

"cecelia, you're breaking my heart ...
I'm down on my knees ..... " etc etc

Great times!



A LUAS reunion from Oggin Aviators era would probably throw up a bunch of double glazing salesmen !
They probably have better T + C's than those still serving

Cool LUAS on top

olddog - LUAS are the current holders of the vauxhall cup.


Also, if anyone is able to take a fly through of Woodvale W-E, and surveys the scenes around the buildings, they will see that LUAS are on top and having the last laugh!!!

Being on the "bright side" can I assume that your Ebay log-on is just random pickings from the telephone directory and not actually your real name? After all no-one would be that stupid....

So, whilst eBay's T&Cs state:

The sale of stolen property is strictly forbidden on eBay, and violates UK, Irish and international law. eBay strongly supports law enforcement efforts to recover stolen property that is listed on its web site, and urges the prosecution of those responsible for knowingly attempting to sell such items on eBay. Stolen property includes items taken from private individuals, as well as property taken without authorisation from companies or governments

If you see an item on eBay that you believe is stolen, your best course is to contact law enforcement immediately. Under eBay's privacy rules, our lawyers will provide important records about pending and past listings with an official request from law enforcement officials. Please inform the police officer handling the case that eBay will be pleased to cooperate in the investigation, and ask the officer to contact eBay via the Law Enforcement area in the Safety Centre. It is important that these methods of contact be reserved for law enforcement use only, as it enables us to respond quickly in case of emergencies. Emails/faxes directed to these areas that are not from law enforcement will be routed to the appropriate mailbox or individual accordingly and may cause delays in response time.
We have someone bragging about the item being stolen goods on this site and seemingly selling it under their own login. Intelligence really is not a pre-requisite for university these days...

And he previously bought his own aircrew watch and Mr Hanky. Please don't call us Mr Murphy and we won't call you.

What fun this is! MASUAS are still bumping into trees, LUAS are on top, we do hold the Vauxhall and to answer your question Bouy15, if you know if there are any jobs going on Blue Peter, please do let me know - im sure the pay and morale is much better than it is here at the moment with all that is going on! But thats a topic for another thread me thinks!

Such a typical OpsO...Of course you read Ebay's T's & C's - what else would you do with all of your spare time behind the desk while the JP and one of the Flt Cdr's sort the programme for you?!?

Keep the banter coming guys - keep clicking on Ebay and telling all of your friends etc... By the time MASUAS even realise what is going on it'll be too late and there beloved table will non doubt be gone forever to a home where the people can actually see the ball moving around!

Love and Hugs!

Do I detect a hint of bitterness opso!?

PIPE DOWN!

Perhaps the victims of the table football 'borrowing' shouldn't have stolen LUAS items in the first place! How ironic that it was the scousers that were the FIRST victims of thieving this time round.

I reckon opso needs a few pinches of salt, if he actually believes that someone would really sell the table, nevermind under their 'real' name, I suspect he's sadly mistaken.

Read the forum title and first few postings, 'FRIENDLY BANTER' is mentioned a few times. Not the actual selling of a stolen item, I suppose you thought we were actually going to sell OC MASUAS dog? May I add that OC MASUAS highly endorses this healthy banter.

Just join in and bid so it gets on the front of ebay.

Perhaps opso could PIPE UP again when he devises banter that results in 480+ ebay hits, 30+ pprune replies, and 2000+ pprune viewings, until then, may all LUAS past and present hand back your dummy and put you back in your pram!!!!

Ahhh, the joy of being on the winning 'bright' side for the second time this year - VAUXHALL TROPHY being the first!!, out-bantering being the second.

It would appear that the darkside love their table so much they're willing to bid for it themselves:

Current bid: GBP 77.00

High bidder: masuas

Nuff said!!

OPSO, instead of spending ur time reading small print on eBay why not visit Formby Barber's open monday-saturday 9am-6pm. Haircuts cost £6, but if you mention the special phrase "MASUAS for the 'chop'" you save a pound. Also if u turn up in a group of fifty or more (that's about how many members of the darkside require a haircut), you save 50% of the advertised price.

In any case, the 'borrowing' of other peoples' hub caps, video recorders, wives, table kevball machines etc is a scouser breed trait, rather than a criminal act...

Eh, eh, eh, soft lad?

Couldn't have put it better myself BEagle! Now, while the sun is out - the Formby girls looking hot, anyone up for stealing...Sorry, borrowing a frisbee and heading down to the beach with a BBQ and Beer?

Hope this wx stays for next week so we can do more of the same!

Ah...Criminal nice to hear from you boy! Glad we're all getting in on it and dragging the boys from the other side down! Ha Ha!

I've just found a TopLoader CD which im sure stars some of those MASUAS boys with long hair!



Big Sunny, Drunken Hugs now!

Loving the banter, but come on, is that all you've really got? I mean an age old stereotype!? Im sure LUAS are deeply wounded

Hate to p#ss on your parade BEagle, but most people attend a university away from home, hence those on LUAS aren't all scousers, follow the logic? NOT that LUAS would be any less of a place if it were, probably the opposite!

Perhaps the ULAS studes were too timid to leave the home counties

Yep, more sun and relaxing bbqs on the beach please redemption!

BEagle, you could have done the sam... oh no, hang on a minute, ULAS is at Wyton, nowhere near a nice beach. Oh well ULAS, bull them shoes and chop up them salutes for those ex Air rankers moving around the station to the AEF, I guess the bbqs will have to hold!

Keep bidding people!

Well, when I was first on ULAS as a student it was at White Waltham, then when I came back as a QFI it was at Abingdon and later Benson. Still rather a long way from any beach, I suppose.

Apart from the Summer Camps at Thorney Island and St Mawgan, of course. When the RAF could still afford to do things properly...oops, there I goes again

Would anyone from the Home Counties voluntarily move to a university in scouser land..? Somehow I doubt it - even with the 'attraction' of the 'Brewhkhie' bit part actresses sunning their flabby bodies on the beach.

Well, I did and bl@@dy glad I did too. Got away from the greed and one upmanship of the south - it was really quite refreshing.

An education in life, met a whole bunch of great people and had a smashing time. One thing that has stuck with me since leaving was the scouser's amazing sense of humour and generiosity of spirit. I was in the city center when they held a minute's silence just after the Heysel tragedy and it was very moving. Yes they have a reputation for being theiving gits but that kind of thing happens in most urban areas. Couple of times went to Preston Poly (as it was then called) to their Union with a LUAS oppo and again had a great time. Didnt really go too much to the Liverpool Union as it was run by students with vastly differing political views however when I did pop in the beer was cheap!

.... and who could ever forget an Abduls at the top of Bold street on the way home from a night out
