Have you seen the pain Manning can cause with a carrot?

Don't forget their mantra of "We're not happy until you're not happy"

SFO,
No problem. Hope you'll make it back up here for a few beers some other time if you don't make it in a fortnight; you know me, always ready for Beer and round-table type Banter!

Still in, no plans to leave... Until I see the new pension deal. I filled in the survey and was depressed by the leading questions.

Then I went flying, saw all those office bound losers stuck on the motorway and felt better about my lot.


PS the other similar thread smells of wee!

Play nicely. They've had their horlicks, nurse has tucked them in and turned off Uncle wifi. Start communicating again after 9.30am when they are all back in the day room, looking out of the big window and waiting for a family visit that isn't coming.

I'm going to be in trouble for this. Standing by.

There used to be something called a Chuff Factor in places like Gan and Sharjah. It was days done divided by days to do. One's CF increased exponentially as one's departure date approached. Much better than raw numbers.

Seldomfit,


Military Aircrew A forum for the professionals who fly the non-civilian hardware, and the backroom boys and girls without whom nothing would leave the ground. Army, Navy and Airforces of the World, all equally welcome here.
Perhaps the criteria should be rewritten thus,
