Benny Hill is the epitomy of the present day government. Very apt and true to the point. The theme tune should be the pre-curser to the next mil released vid on u tube! go get em!

Hmmm.

deeply insulting to all of those who serve. We work in a circus? Our efforts belong in a Big Top? Think again Einstein. Think about those who have sacrificed and those who are prepared to sacrifice. You spent spent how long serving and you still miss the point? Per Ardua?

If there is anything I have learnt over the past 17 years is that most people have a since of humour and enjoy a good chuckle, especially at ourselves.

I can only assume KR (and I’ll bet you will correct me) that either you have no sense of humour or you work in an ivory tower.

I suspect though it’s just that you’re a bit of a Tw@t.

To all those people who cracked a smile and posted a witty comment I’d like to thank you. Your posts made my weekend. I can go back to work in a better mood than when I left and resume pushing Sh%t up hill.

Maybe before someone makes a rash decision or decides to re invent the wheel they will hear a little tune in their head and think it all the way through.

Ho Hum hear comes Monday and the beginning of the Z local faff.

Tac Queen

Well, I have never been so insulted in all my life. If you think this sort of thing is funny then you are sadly mistaken.

I think I can speak for the silent majority in this matter and point out to you that you, sir, are a buffoon. And not even one of the cute interesting one you see one nature programs!

I would be amazed if anyone in today's Air Force would find this funny. I find it hard to believe that you are really in the RAF at all. Why you people, who clearly have no idea about the modern RAF, feel you can come one to this site and bitch and moan is beyond me.

Tac Queen if you really are in the Air Farce then you should be put it to a canoe and sent down the river. This really is beyond the pale.

Point taken Mr Newark

However I would like to point out that it’s a kayak not a canoe, which I am more that capable of paddling thank you very much.

Also I strongly suggest you take your post and ram it in your intake as this will cause no harm to you or your dilapidated aircraft. You sir have no sense of humour or the whit to understand it. You are a sad excuse for a man and the last operation you were involved in was the board game, which you sir lost by dropping the funny bone. A bone you are obviously missing.

Good night sir.

P.S. Your house next week and I’ll bring the cheese cake and wine.

To all those with no sense of humour, just remember, if you can't take a joke, you shouldn't have joined! Lighten up a bit and see the funny side. I suppose you do not like cartoon booklets of the RAF?

Tac Queen, you sir, don't know the difference between a kayak and a canoe. If you think that you inviting yourself around to my house for cheese cake and wine is going to, in anyway, make up for what you have said about the ROYAL AIR FORCE just proves you are a solid 9 caret gold galah (yes I do mean a Rose-breasted Cockatoo).

I do have a few issue with you previous post:

A. My aircraft is a not 'dilapidated'.

B. What do you mean I 'have no sense of humour or the whit to understand it'? If I have no sense of humour WHY would I need the whit to understand something I don't have?

C. I DO have a sense of humour anyway - Ha Ha Ha - SEE.

D. You said I am a 'sad excuse for a man'. How do you know I am a man?

E. How dare you question my operational effectiveness? I'll have you know I have medals!!! I have never dropped a funny bone in my life (I have dropped other things though, I'll give you that).

I think I have now shown, without a shadow of doubt, you are a jumped up little man without the 'whit' to paddle a canoe, in fact a canoe is to good for the likes of you.

Sir, the best thing I think you can do is issue a full written apology to everyone you have insulted and offended at the earliest opportunity.

and they all lived happierly ever after.

THE END

I've obviously missed something here....

Every decent SNCO and above worth their salt knows that when this sort of thing stops, THEN you have a problem.

It is in the very nature of service personel to take the p1s$ out of everything. It is a coping mechanism, something fostered over weeks, months and years of sitting around waiting for the next cluster to be decided upon.

When the banter stops, be afraid, be very afraid.

Dear WN

In answer to your to your post, just how may of your dilapidated aircraft are serviceable???

By replying you have shown that you have no sense of humour or you are very dim witted. I suspect both.

If I didn’t have a sense of humour I wouldn’t have started this thread, would I now.

Medals, medals, don’t start me on about medals. I have a big gold one.

Canoe or kayak I doubt very much whether you would know the difference. Or even that kayak comes from the Native American words for left and right. Kay meaning left and ak meaning right. There you go you have learnt something today you must be very tired now.

Also I can paddle a canoe using the standard kay and ak strokes. Speaking of stokes you sir are one. Just to prove a point here is my home movie of me canoeing
YouTube - Kayaking in Bikini with my Dog

See me
I see you

TQ

Well I'll take that as an apology then, at last you have decided to be a man about it, it was long over due. I must say it wasn't very grovelling though.

Just to let you know that I know that you know that I know that you are known as a very humorous person. People are always laughing at you Also by pointing out that my replying proves that I have no sense of humour actually proves you have no sense of humour. So put that in your canoe and smoke it. I also find it a bit gauling that you have decided to hide behind Native American words. It's sad really.

I'm sorry I didn't realise that the was spelling police where monitoring this forum.

The suggestion of the Monty Python theme tune reminded me of how hard I found it to keep a straight face whenever the band struck up that tune at Sandhurst.

I appreciate that as an ex-pongo I am in the wrong forum but it is generally the Army who take on the peacekeeping duties so it seems an appropriate time to step in

Mr/Miss Waaaa

Is that the best you can do, are you gay or what. (Not there is anything wrong with being gay. In fact on my Sqn it’s now a BTR).

My dog puts up a stronger fight when I take him canoeing.

Come on if you think you’re hard enough.

P.S. what time are we coming around and do you want red or white??

Tac Queenie

If you think that I am going to let you come to my house and ply me with wine so you can for fill one on your Sqn BTRs, you are madder than I thought you were after reading your incoherent rantings.
