RAF Club Thread: Not in Good Health
Hardly an angry mob TomJoad.
A couple of people are not happy about the name, but let's face it that's not going to change in a hurry. They have their opinion which differs from other peoples. Vive le difference I say.
I would hate to think I wasted 15 years of my life, as a very, very small wheel in a big machine, protecting a nation where one can't even voice an opinion.
This thread, and I'm sure you are aware of this, is now mainly you and AA "willy waving". Still good entertainment though......

So with this club, what happens if you spend 10 years or so as a junior rank then get a commission? Does the very same person get treated differently overnight? Because you are still the same person, just wearing a different rank slide.

Rosevidney1,
I guess the answer to your question is like those posted about the Club. If you don't like it...
Seriously, though, after seven rivetting pages a question does, at last occur.
Thing, is a one legged frog sexer someone with one leg that sexes frogs or is it a particularly picky person who sexes frogs, but only those with only one leg?

You are too quick to accuse me Courtney Mil as my post neither opposed the club nor supported it.
Let me say instead that as the interminable thread is allegedly about the HEALTH of the club I am reminded of that old saying 'Creaking gates last the longest'.

Actually Rosevidney1, this thread is about the health of the previous RAF Club thread, not the health of the club itself. This makes it even more entertaining in my opinion.
Well done Broadsword***.
Courtney, not having even a passing familiarity of frog breeding habits or techniques, could a one-legged frog reproduce? It strikes me that if they cannot then there really wouldn't be any point sexing them would there? This would suggest that the person doing the sexing was one-legged.
One the other hand, if one-legged frogs can reproduce then again we are on the horns of a dilemma.

Whatever the answer to that there has got to be a better way of making a living:

In SOSL's thread he was correcting misconceptions raised in other threads that had incorrectly suggested that eh Club was in poor health.
Beagle's deleted thread invited comment about the Club's new web site - he deleted it because the angry mob (sorry vive le thingy) started debating the merits of the clubs admission policy etc.
In all that lot AA is convinced somebody asked for advice on how to improve club membership - neither OP ever did
So could it be that we have hit upon the topic in PPrune which dares not be named. Laugh, you could not make this up - much better than TV!

I woudn't be, they are a PITA and used as Golf Balls for Golf Swinging practice,
Shotgun and Rifle Targets or just given a swift boot, preferably Size 10 or larger !
And don't laugh, they were "released" to control some beetle and now they
are a pest marching in the millions across northern Australia killing every
native thing in their path !!! (Native animals try to eat them and die).

Ah indeed, AB. Formerly the RNVR Club, and (Oh dear!) originally "Officers Only"....
Oh, you mean, it survived because it was prepared to change its membership criteria.
500N,
That is the biggest Cane Toad I've ever seen. Nearly as big as some of the Lounge Lizards you'd find in the RAF Club these days.
And yes it a Cane and yes they are poisonous, but only really if you eat one (or lick one - it happens).
