Generic thread

Crab starts a thread.

Another crab completely misses the point and tells him to stop wingeing.

Crab re-makes the original point but in an effort to reinforce it, over-eggs the pud slightly.

Pongo tells everybody how long he spends 'boots on' in the sand.

Crab reacts to pongo, thus taking thread way off-subject.

Matelot tells everybody how little room there is on-board.

Ex Herc-mate syas it's not just SH.

Crab says he wasn't just talking about SH.

Yank offers general support (though to which side is unclear).

Pongo spouts off about PT (or lack of it in RAF).

Crab attempts to bring thread back onto topic, highlighting the efforts of all aircrew.

Techy bloke demands that engineers contribution be acknowledged (regardless of original thread subject)...........................................

There are no blankets in stores, we have 'just in (out of) time' ordering now. And the plods don't guard anymore, they investigate, hence their raise to the same pay band as techies.

It's cramped on board you know. You crabs don't like it! One set of clothes only for a run ashore. Right, back to my cabin.

PS As a matelot who works with the crabs I am confused as to who to support - I know its always a pongo's fault though. And no doubt someone will pick me up for spelling and grammar.

Its irrelevant which side you support, its all the fault of the PTI empire and the obsession with fitness testing, that's why we should all PVR when it becomes possible to do so on JPA (unless a FRI is in the offing) .

And noone's mentioned movers.....

..... or made a word play on "utterly utterly useless" ...


..... and we must have:

1. WEBFoot saying we should re-introduce SHARs

2.Jacko saying Jaguars would be quicker to deploy than SHARS

3. And BEags saying it doesn't matter because they are all flown by grammar school educated oiks ......

Mods, please stop this thread now. It is really very silly, and has just caused me to spit out coffee all over my monitor. Need I point out the serious safety related consequences should similar reactions be caused to other unsuspecting members innocently reading these posts? Enough, stop it now before tragedy strikes!

You know movers are just as good as loadmasters if not better. I can do their job, they can't do mine.
