Ex Shar SP gets new job in Jonathon Ross's House Band

Just wanted to pass on my congratulations to a certain ex Senior Pilot of a Sea Harrier Squadron who, on leaving, and realising his hours weren't up to the airlines took a different career path and has joined Jonathon's Ross House Band. You can see him every Friday night on the TV (he is the one on the far right- looks a bit like Iggy Pop)

Hasn't the guy on the right been in the band from the outset?

I think you may be right, in which case he was just masquerading as the Splot.....that would explain a few things!!!

Am I missing something? I see no reference to any military service mentioned in any of the biographies here: http://www.4poofsandapiano.com/meet.shtml

Well, if it is true, at least he would be at home being kept upright by 'puffers' while doing press-ups..................

I think all of the real members of four poofs and a piano would have given their right arm to spend a night in a large vessel full of seamen. Not sure how they'd feel about the Joanna being launched by the cat though

I wonder if he ever sucked a fisherman’s friend.

He must be a Harrier pilot - he's got Number 1 on his shirt.

Nah! The 2 Harrier guys are at the other end. That one is just a poser

As the CVS' don't have a catapult, I do hope " launching the Joanna off the cat " isn't some gay analogy / habit !

As for AA's spelling, I think we know what you mean, as in " why is the Camel called the ' ship of the desert ' ?!"

I only met one ( non- Test at the time ) Harrier pilot who was an utter p**ck - ( and I'm not pretending to be such a pilot - the other category maybe )... Generally I reckon you're just jealous of Harrier types !

I agree, OO, let's keep ladies of the opposite sex and small furry animals out of this thread - unless of course they are queens and gerbils................

As for 'giving their right arm'???????????????

Surely this is his third career. Do not forget the time he spent as an office manager in a paper merchant in Slough!!

He can't be a Harrier pilot - he would have told us all by now....

Well certain Harrier pilots wouldn't, as they may not wish to make you feel belittled...( all I've done is put cameras on them & occasionally fly alongside ), but anyone who's seen a certain type of take-off will never forget it.

As for ' Ladies of the opposite sex ' - that's rather the type I tend to go for - so have avoided Bangkok ! The place, not the affliction.

Re. " furry animals & Gerbils ", well we've all heard the story about a famous actor, but what I've always wondered is ' Who the hell came up with that idea to start with ?!'

oh wow - a gag about pretending that someone is gay. That's hilarious (for a five year-old)

We're laughing at you, Tim, not with you.

I'm ginger, and you cannot begin to understand what I have to go through.

Ginger Pride parade in central London? In my dreams.

Mardi Ginge in New Orleans? Some hope.

You gays are sooo spoilt these days.

I didn't see anything funny - I thought that kind of humour had died with Sid James sitcoms. Using an aviation forum to run some schoolboy sniggeresque lampoon against someone, on the basis that being gay is somehow hilarious, is just a bit sad, and seriously out of date.
