NutLoose, That was my introduction to the RAF in January 1963, Boy Entrant, RAF St Athan, no transport to meet us at Barry Railway Station, we got the bus as far as St Athan village, it couldn't get up the hill, then walked up the hill, with the snow at the side of the road above our heads.

Looking forward to his follow-up "Praise be to Mohammed" on Woss's show next Eid.

Or maybe I shouldn't hold my breath.

"Woody Allen Jesus" sung for us by a hippy with loads of eye-makeup.

How boldy, daringly innovative as of late 2011 ... striking blows for freedom against the Christianist regime that oppresses the present-day English speaking world as of late 2011, umm-hmm. Very fresh.

What about a B-side follow-up tune, "Nail Woody Allen Jesus To a Wooden Cross"?

What we need -- and I'm serious -- is a more muscular and masculine form of Xtianity:


Tim Tebow and his faith - The Washington Post

Merry Christmas and In Hoc Signo Vinces!

Merry Christmas with no offence ....

Please accept with no obligation, implied or implicit, my best wishes for an
environmentally conscious, socially responsible, low stress, non-addictive,
gender neutral celebration of the winter solstice holiday, practiced with
the most enjoyable traditions of the religious persuasion or secular
practices of your choice with respect for the religious/secular persuasions
and/or traditions of others, or their choice not to practice religious or
secular traditions at all

I also wish you a fiscally successful, personally fulfilling and medically
uncomplicated recognition of the onset of the generally accepted calendar
year 2012, but not without due respect for the calendars of choice of other
cultures whose contributions to society have helped make our country great
(not to imply that England is necessarily greater than any other country)
and without regard to the race, creed, colour, age, physical ability,
religious faith or sexual preference of the wishee.


By accepting this greeting, you are accepting these terms:

This greeting is subject to clarification or withdrawal.

It is freely transferable with no alteration to the original greeting.

It implies no promise by the wisher to actually implement any of the wishes
for her/him and/or others and is void where prohibited by law, and is
revocable at the sole discretion of the wisher.

This wish is warranted to perform as expected within the usual application
of good tidings for a period of one year or until the issuance of a
subsequent holiday greeting, whichever comes first, and warranty is limited
to replacement of this wish or issuance of a new wish at the sole discretion
of the wisher.

Disclaimer: No trees were harmed in the sending of this message; however, a
significant number of electrons were slightly inconvenienced.

Have a great day

Christmas is over - for those of us nutty enough to profess a faith in JC (and I ain't talking top gear ) it matters not as we celebrate a little every day.

What did Christmas Actually mean to me??
Well, I got three nice airfix kits and some trainset stuff - yep, as my wife tells me I am six. On the important side, one of these airfix kits is the Daddy - yup, I have the 1/24th mossie.

HEEEEEELLLLLP - and advice please, as I want to do it justice. PM me with wisdom.

I also have a hawk kit and some wafu variant of the harrier - FA2 or some such dribble. how long till WEBF comes on to tell me it the greatest kit of evah??

Just to gloat my trainset is coming on nicely too. oh, and sage advice for thise about to be booted out. Move your arse, most employers want committed grafters who will solve problems, make decisions and fix things.

don't waste time on bull**** bingo -

Have a good wee hogmaneey

I've had quite enough of having conversations with stupid people about stupid subjects, of taking stupid 'phone calls and stupid questions, of stupid meetings with more stupid people, and wasting my time writing SORs for stupid people to discuss with more stupid people and make a stupid ****ing decisions that costs money and doesn't work.

I can't imagine civvy life will be any different, I can't imagine it will be any better, I can only see it being far, far, worse.

Maybe I'll become a gamekeeper. At least I can swan about with a loaded gun.

You need to come and work for me, long hours, **** pay, and the boss (me) is a right stroppy bastard. BUT I will back your decisions, let you make decisions and calls and not make you do anything I don't do myself.

I will mercilessly take the piss - I'm the boss and it's my trainset.
Private sector SME we need to make a product to make a profit, we need to make money, no time for bull**** and long meetings

I found the life outside to be far better than in, if you bring your natural integrity and can do attitude you will go far.

My engineers let me wind the clock up! I reckoned it was delicate and technical equipment so they must have held me in very high regard. The nose gunner was only allowed to repack and instal the brake-chute

I hope only after the Q course, risk assessment and method statement. Having made sure you were medically, dentally, running up and down, high ropes, eqaully diverse, ccs and all the other niff naff in date and fully specc'd up.

Maybe if you were really good they would have given you a self supervisor stamp.........

Fly Safe now.
