Strange bloke. I wonder what we did wrong?

Ooh. He deleted his last post.

Thanks SF. It's just a bit of self edifying fun!

I have to agree with SF. I liked what you wrote, which jogged plenty of memories for me (though I could have done without the photo of Sinders...). I don't know what was in there that blew Jinda's stack, but can only diagnose a stuck nozzle (open).

[jindabyne]

There you go again Mil --- not strange, if you knew of me.

Leave it there shall we? I'm off

If you're in the RAFC on 6 Dec, beers

[BEagle]

Tell you what. I think you're probably right so I'll just delete the whole site. It was worth a try, though.

Please don't delete it, old chap - it's one of the most interesting and well-written accounts of the Life and Times of a fast jet pilot that I have ever seen.

I regret jindabyne's departure and at something of a loss to understand why he chose to use quite such harsh words. I hope he will reconsider his decision.

[Courtney Mil]

Fair enough, J.

[Courtney Mil]

Naaa. I'll just take out the big words and equations, Beags. It'll do then.

I'll try to be in the Club on the 6th

[Fortissimo]

Oh please don't take out the big words and equations - I never had enough time to understand them before, so it would be nice to have a go in slowmo!

[Courtney Mil]

Hey, remeber it took me 30 years to work them out and write them down.

PN - Ref 134. As a flt cdr on IOT early 80s I was (second time) single, but it was rumoured that after the first night "meet and creep" flt cdrs' wives put name of those that would pass/fail in an envelope to be opened after Black Monday. It was suggested that there was about a 98% correlation between the wifely predictions and the results. Hence, when asked by a well known sheep farming DDIOT how we might save money, I suggested that we shorten the course to a week - Meet and Creep Monday, open the envelopes Wednesday and have the Graduation on Friday. I took my hat and coat.

SF.

I said 'Final' , twit. No doubt you'll have a last word though

[Courtney Mil]

Jin, I'll buy you a beer in the Club.

Time to move on. Wander00 is putting us back on thread.

[Scruffy Fanny]

Final Word

Not at all - I'm sure reading both your PMs is keeping you busy

[Scruffy Fanny]

Ooops

Ok I'll buy a beer as well - as an olive branch
Back to OCU japes

[Fortissimo]

It would be a shame if the mods closed this excellent thread, but not a surprise.

[Courtney Mil]

No they won't. It's all over now. Nothing to see here. Move along.

As SF says, back to the stories.
