Terminal 5 and RAF Movers

[Mobile Muppet]

Grow up

Yaaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwnnnnnnnnn, close the thread.

While a bit of banter is good for morale, complete disrespect for each other makes you all look as child like and pathetic as an MP. Stop squabbling like kids and get on with life !

Picture the scene - Civil Servant responsible for funding (or not) the Movements world is just sitting back in his chair after ticking the box on his annual report marked 'divide and rule'. He thinks to himself 'Hmm, I'll just go for a coffee and then present the boss with my plan to privatise the whole lot of 'em - that'll save money, surely, and I'll get my bonus'.

Two more observations, if I may. Stronger together. Sh!t happens.

Now, lets get on with it, shall we?

GF - Both you and Boris get my vote...

LOL - You mean the DAMO/WAMO one? In my day the DAMO was the first out of the door - normally on the end of his shift WO's toe-cap; we followed to find out what he/she would do next.

Anyway, bringing this screaming back on thread; I was of the opinion from reading the other threads on the T5 disaster, it would appear that it was the IT systems that have caused most of the problems, plus a bit of alleged intransigence by some of the ground-staff.

Someone else made a reference to an ex-RLC 1*, I checked that out - one name was almost familiar -

Two differences between mil movers and the T5 fiasco:

1. T5 had bucket loads of cash thrown at it
2. Two very senior people in BA lost their jobs over it

Interesting, no?

Okay not, but hey hum.

Blakey,

What happened to that female Herc crewperson who wrote that fantastic article for the papers - criticising all the untermenchen?

I must have missed that. Can you send me a link or Email a copy of said article. Ta

Mobile Muppet...............Nice to see you back.

[Blakey875]

Echo - I have e-mailed the article to you and hope you receive ok? Nice comment she made about not sleeping with the other women as someone may drop a pencil and wake her up...

[Echo 5]

Blakey,

Thanks for that. I seem to remember it got some attention here on Prune a few months back. Got to say that the comments by some of the Times readers were of better entertainment value than the article itself which shall we say was a bit..............girly

[cornish-stormrider]

Good grief there are a load of moaning old muppets who seem to have forgotten what banter means......??

It wouldn't be cricket if we didn't criticise the movers, we start on the plumbisters next month and the autumn is slated for the snowdrop/pigs/fun police.

Wheras I realise that about 85% of the people are working real hard for the war effort, I bet I could find some REMF's out there. They probably hang around the airconditioned huts with the shiny expensive vehicles moaning to all and sundry just how vital their role is.....

The workers will be knee deep in ****, under fire and not had a day off in months.

And they still have a sense of humour.

Talking about 44 & 45.

Comedy would be the word I would use, although other more damming words should apply. Some of them are the least professional people I have seen in a long time

And they treat the outside of their accomodation as a dustbin.

ratty1,

Blakey and echo would be a good start. Oops nearly forgot mobile muppet.

I would suggest that you don't know WTF you are talking about.

BTW as you haven't bothered to complete a personal profile perhaps you would care to enlighten us as to what your contribution has been in recent ( or indeed any ) conflicts.

[cornish-stormrider]

ROTFLMAO,
There appears to be someone on this thread with a large chip on shoulder and a huge desire to tell everyone they be fighting the fight............

I say (within the realms of OPSEC, obviously) do tell. You are obviously soo desperate to let us know.

Just two points,

1. Team, 99.5% of the RAF exists to enable the "Master Race" to put an airframe where required, when required. Be that SH, AT, AAR, FJ, SAR and anything else I have neglected.

2. Every single hero and warrior I have ever met has been modest, self depracating(sp) and humble.

REMF's tend to be loud. draw your own conclusions.

[Echo 5]

cornish-stormrider,

Seriously. I've been sitting here trying to work out " ROTFLMAO " without success. Please put me out of my misery

[Al R]

Echo,

ROTFLMAO = Rolling on the floor laughing my arse off.

ROTFLMFAO for the less refined .

[cornish-stormrider]

Al in that case mine ought to be ROTFLMVFAO

Not that I have put on a few stone since my downgrading and PVR

A diet of guinness, sugar and painkillers works a treat for all you narcisstic gym queens out there........

[Echo 5]

Thanks for that Al R.
