BEagle, as I said earlier, I thought is was something to do with boots and shoes or some such. I have a rugged wristwatch by Timbersomething.

I asked the same question in an earlier post but for all the scorn heaped upon 'the mates' no one has admitted knowing who this 'Just in Time' chappie is

Navaleye: I thought the same thing. Presumably these are ground crew. I can't believe an officer would be that dumb.

It appears that these three were indeed graduates from Sleaford Comprehensive.

I and the rest of the groundcrew you tainted with your high-handed and arrogant assumption await your apology.

....one used to know a chap in the Paras called Timbertool - I wonder if they are by any chance related.... but on second thoughts his name was really Woodcock....


...... or was it Oakhampton ..... memory plays such tricks these days....

Well at least now it'll blow over and everyone can get back to

Ever thought of writing novels Minigun?

If it had been groundcrew, they would have succeeded, without getting caught.

SmilingKnifed.

Dont have time mate, too busy. Im glad you joined this thread as your experience is much needed.

'Ive just got round to buying James Blunts album, does anyone else think it's top notch?'

Top thread mate. With that under your belt, you may be able to fill us in on this Timberlake dude. You seem to like Male vocalists.

Yeah, natural assumption that someone trained and skilled in diagnosing and rectifying multi-million pound aircraft is bound to be thick as sh#t!

****! Just the kind of 'hofficer' mentality that made me depart the RAF (like so many since and before me) in short order.

Sound exactly like officer 'high spirits' to me, well done 'boys'!
