Make-up

It's interesting to see how discussions vary across the forums. Check out this hot topic on a sister forum. Makes my beef about underfunding and an illegal war fade into insignificance. BestonBoard has a good range of points though.

Maybe there are some WAFs that can show them what they're doing wrong

Frankly I'm very pleased to hear that the girls want to look their best. Think Susannah York in the Battle of Britain!

Personally, I find a couple of drops of visine gets rid of some of the redness in the eyes; Sure for men covers for the 6-week old flying suit for up to half of the day and shaving in the car while driving to work gains an extra 3 minutes beauty sleep. etc.

BEagle, would you have a picture of the `Flight Safety` bookmark that came out about 15-20 yrs ago of one of the `Pilots Pals` girls in her skimpies, but wearing the `Turning trousers and LSJ` safety equipment, about to climb into a Jag/Harrier/ or anything else... as a reminder that FS eqpmt is important, and copy it to the thread about the kid with flying kit... You`d also do a few of us older chaps a favour..and seeing Susannah has been as well ....!!Syc..

AAAhhhh... those fingertrappers.......................!

Ah - you mean 'Lightning Farewell'! Actually, it was around 19 years ago....

Look what I found in an old logbook:


That should get the PC police grinding their teeth! Enjoy!

I've just added my penny worth on the forum mentioned in Affirmatron's opening post.

Touché, Beags.

Sorry I’m well timed-out with a riposte for banter puposes. Been changing to Virgin Meeja and have spent most of the day talking to Shilpa Shetti in various guises from their callcentre.

I never realised so many Indian kids were christened Charlotte, Samantha and Robert before!

I've been with DickieBransonDotCom for years and have always found them most helpful. They have a very good anti-spam (that's spam as in unsolicited e-mails!) filter on their virgin.net e-mail system.

I feel quite sorry for those folk in the Indian call centres. They are at the mercy of predatory British companies determined to find the cheapest possible customer service and are paid peanuts. Many of them have university degrees, but cannot get other jobs in India, so have to settle for call centre slave labour.

The new Virgin Meeja 'brand' is a bit too 'yoof' for my liking; too much 'Big Brother' (which I think is that programme on some commercial channel where appallingly common people shout at 'eachuvver', innit?) and rather tacky interest in 'celebrity cuwcha'......

As for make-up, the lovely Lufthansa ladies are always very well turned out. Whereas in other airlines, the make-up must be applied with a trowel...

And if they work for Sleazyjet, it must also be bright orange.

What makes you all think that the threads on the other forum are written by females?
