Big Watch syndrome
Vickie Butler Henderson, her of 5th Gear fame, has a column in a rag called City AM. In today's edition she relates the following story:
"A friend of mine met a Harrier jet fighter pilot the other week, and is convinced he has the best job for pulling totty. But our aviator is adamant this is not the case, "the first thing I do when I walk into a pub " says the winged one," is see if there's a Formula One driver sat at the bar. If there isn't one, I know I'll be top dog with the ladies. If there is, I know I'll be playing second fiddle."
Who is this anonymous t******r ?

Hey Beags old chap, we may be the same vintage but my largeish mountain climbing, beeping, omni-directional, guaranteed to work at 500m when your body is crushed to a pulp, chronograph does not mean that Mrs 4f is less than satisfied in the lunch pack stakes.
Oh, I'm too tall to be a Harrier mate and I actually enjoy company other than my own!!

Of course what you're all forgetting is the heavy editing carried out by Sticky Titler Butlerson....What the aforementioned Harrier mate meant to say was:
"the first thing I do when I walk into a pub " says the winged one," is see if there's an SH rabble trying to steal gizzits from the bar. If there isn't one, I know I'll be top dog with the ladies. If there is, I know I'll be playing second fiddle."

Overly Sensitive Parhaps?
Lets be very plain, I am not nor have ever been a member of the FJ fraternity....but its does seem to me that the "anonymous to$$er" was have a wee laugh?
After all he 'supposedly' told it to a girl in a bar, who told it to a journo....who then, no doubt, gave it her own spin. And why not. its good for a laugh dont you think?
And I have very little doubt that the harrier mate probably pulled her too!
Its the sense of humour that pulls the ladies; the bitter and twisted truckie 'but I have 4 engines, a galley and a loo' will fail to impress.....because you're obviously taking yourself faaaaaaaaar too seriously.
Hopefully he's a ppruner and we can get some follow-up banter going.
Hats off!

BEagle,
Is your Breitling Aerospace a big watch?

Not that big!
Neither is ...
Although given the opportunity to 'meet' V B-H, there might well be a dimensional change from a certain part of the anatomy!

Isn't VBH part of the 5th Gear prog - that's it, the same prog where her co-presenter flew with some Navy harrier chaps. Hmmm - think I spot a link here. Yet another example of the dark blue side having a rather inflated opinion of their pulling power I think.
If you have to mention any of the following words in conversation with a lady: "pilot, top gun, cockpit, shiney lever, ejection seat", then you really are missing the big picture!

"pilot, co-pilot, No1 crewman and No2 crewman, all one big happy family; door gun; centre hook; oils box; rotor blades" etc

Well she was on telly the other day with a Harrier pilot. He looked about twelve and a spotty youth. They got him to drive a Ford GT40 around a bit. I wonder if it was him.
