Feel Good Friday
Chaps, Lets try something new.
Tomorrow (Friday) lets try not to whinge or moan about the RAF, aircrew, JPA, budgeteers, their airships, defence cuts etc etc.
Why dont we have a day where we just point out the feel good things about what we do?? Part of my job involves regular meetings abroad with some really good guys who are firmly of the opinion that, despite the challenges that everybody is currently facing, the RAF is still regarded as being the best in the world. Exactly the same goes for the Army and the RN by the way.
These arent diplomats trying to blow sunshine up our backsides - they are front line operators who have worked with us over many years and are massively impressed and envious of what we do and how we do it.
So how about a day where we celebrate the fact?? I need cheering up.
We are starting to sound like a bunge of whingers who aren't happy unless we are complaining about something.
AT mates - you'll just have to sit on your hands for the day.

If reading PPrune makes you feel depressed then don't do it. If some people want to express themselves or have a legitimate point of view then let them get on with it.

Young man, there's no need to feel down.
I said, young man, pick yourself off the ground.
I said, young man, 'cause you're in a new town
There's no need to be unhappy.
Have a happy Friday with Flight Lieut N**k B*******e

I agree with Mr-Burns. Try to be nice to somebody tomorrow - anybody - for a whole day and see how good it makes you feel. If it doesn't make you feel good, report back on Monday. And have a nice weekend in between.
But since today is Thursday, DJ Nick should be cashiered - or is it a vaguely similar sounding word that I am looking for?

I'm sure that artice is about a year old. Are we to be regaled with banter about this chap's foibles every time an ARRSER discovers the joys of google?

Sorry if I offended you Ordynants - just trying look on the bright side for a change.
As for 'must be nice to have a great job and the opportunity to meet ....', Yes, I am lucky right now but I've done my bit - believe me.
If you want a medal competition - lets dance !!!
(PS Its only Thursday so I'll be nice to you especially tomorrow)

The Sun 'story' is 4 yrs old. Early 2003. 4 yrs certainly breaks the 5 sec banter rule IMHO.
An old but reliable comment:
'If the troops are not complaining, then there is something wrong'
or something like that.

Poet's day
May I suggest, it's easy to feel good on poet's day; feel good Monday would be much more use !
BTW I'm a civvy, but have worked closely with various branches of the services, and share the high opinion mentioned.
Not the drag-racing bit though, I assure you.

Bacon & Egg Banjo's all round! Bugger the cholesterol!
Shall we say a mass PPruners push to the NAAFI/Hive at 10Z? Flying programme and other duties aside, of course. Now if the Boss would pay, that would make for a very happy Friday.

OK. So in the spirit of the topic....
It's Friday The sun is shining, it was a lovely frosty walk to work this morning and the pay rise has been announced (finally) and it does mean a slight increase in my pay. My car was filled up from a big brand source and is running smoothly so I should be able to get home later. Even better the Boss is not in today so I feel an early stack coming on. This evening I plan to walk to the local and have a couple of beers.
