Wheezy Boys

Why is it that every wannabe on here nowadays seem to be wheezy, blind or unfit?...........

Or do the wheezy, blind and unfit ones gravitate to the internet sites like Pprune?............

Or does the internet make them wheezy blind and unfit? ..............

.......and what on the internet could possibly make them blind and wheezy?

That's pretty ignorant. How can you call someone wheezy if they didn't use their inhaler, never had an attack and had a specialist say 'you don't have it.' I can accept why you mentioned eyesight because you can't get around being unlucky enough to have slightly poor eyesight but there's still no need to slag people off like that.

Fishing Rod

Tourist,

put your fishing rod away!

That said, 29 minutes for your first catch isn't bad!

I see.... Going for the old Clinton excuse eh JAG3.
"I didn't inhale"

Let me get this straight.

You were given an inhaler because:-

A. The doctor thought that all healthy boys with no breathing difficulties should carry one.
B. All the other wannabies have one and you didn't want to stick out.
C. You are the sort of wheezy boy that always got picked last for football in the playground.


Our panel says!....................

Its time to go home so I'll just drop this one and walk out. See you tomorrow!

Tourist!

In addition to being wheezy and unfit they also appear to be:

a) Desperate for unsubstantiated advice (cant think for themselves?)
b) Happy to tell all in public ( Security risk?)
c) Quick to get upset about it (Lack of moral Fibre?)
d) Dead easy to wind up (Ideal fodder for a dining in night!)

Two thoughts from my RAF flying training days:

1) Get sharp - Stay sharp
and
2) Just be there and cope

Sometimes you just cant have it all and be a namby pamby, whinging, sickly infant as well, its tough out there!

Helmet on .......Incoming tree huggers!

Actually you might not be far from the truth.

I had some thing I went to the Doc at ISK for and he had got this new inhaler thingy toy and prescribed it to me. It did nothing for me, made my nose tickle and I gave up in short order.

My docs however no doubt carried the magic stigma. As I was already spec a/c I couldn't care less.

Wheezy boy TOURIST! Me thinks this has been a topic close to your heart! Have the big boys been teasing you again during those organised PT sessions.

It's not the PT junglie so much as the communal showers afterwards I hate!

My misfortune in having a pen1s the size of a pygmy hamsters tongue shouldn't make me a source of such ridicule!

On the plus side, my strong belief in Karma and Astral balance leads me to believe that my job as Kate Moss's fluffer is just around the corner.

At present, and until medical science improves, I will just have to continue wearing a prosthesis to my medicals to prevent the RN sending me fast jet!

It's quite funny to hear a bunch of grumpy old men whinge and fight. And I suppose you guys were never young waiting for the chance to join the RAF.

Wait to join the RAF?!
I'd as soon tuck my member between two small dog biscuits and shout "Dinner Fido!"

I apologise, that includes navy and army. I take it your army because for some reason I thought navy officers weren't as rude as you've been.

JAG3 - I very, very, very rarely join in these /BANTER on .... BANTER off/ threads because a) I left so long ago and b) there is always someone funnier than me...................
my advice to you would be to "wind your neck in!". You will never win as a 17 yo young man!
Let it go, dude!

Tourist,

Didn't you find that was rather like throwing a line out with lots of flashing, spinning things on and catching loads of mackerel?

I just don't see the point of someone slagging people off then getting away with it. And I can't join in an arguement and just let go. Just me.

JAG,

A quick question for you ...

How are you going to survive in a mess environment, if you can't take a little light hearted banter?!! You just going to start arguing with everyone?!?!

I don't know much, but im pretty sure you would become the butt of alot of jokes!! Especially if i had anything to do with it!!

First things first, wind your neck in .... then lighten up !

Nick
