'What's the difference between a coconut and Flt Lt xxxx (WRAF Officer)?'

'You can get a drink out of a coconut!'

How do you get a drink out of Flt Lt xxxx?

An excellent 'put down'

"Don't do that when you go for your licence"

And what about that old one ?

"Nothing on the clock but the maker's name!"

And an entreaty from a FAC to a section of Mustangs that lingers long after the event.

"Little Friends, Little Friends, come hubba hubba, I'm being attacked."

Came within a smidgen of shooting down a friendly on that occasion.

'It's like herding cats'

Nickname of some technicians (on TWCU some time ago)

'Link' - as in missing

'FRUB' - F@@king Really Ugly B@st@rd (he was too)

Thud_and_Blunder 16th Apr 2005 06:28

Weezer's post reminded me of:

BUFF - Big Ugly Fat Feller

SLUF - Short Little Ugly Feller

..and I seem to remember a couple of nicknames particular to people who might allegedly at one time or another have worked with the AAC:

OVLOV - 'cos that's what was imprinted on his face after the truck hit him (more truth than rumour)

CLANG - 'cos that's the sound the spade made when it hit her face

BEagle 16th Apr 2005 06:31

Wasn't it 'PANG'?

The goat is out..........

sittingstress 16th Apr 2005 07:59

PANG had a sister who was apparently hit immediately afterwards. She was called BONG.

I'm off to Akronelli tomorrow, hope it doesn't happen to me!!

Sir Loin 16th Apr 2005 12:06

"You can't call me a C**t, I'm a senior officer!"

"Well sir, can I think you're a C**t?"

"Well, I suppose so"

"In that case sir, I think you're a C**t!!":ok:
