Nice work Annie.:ok:
(What's the tattoo?):)
http://news.independent.co.uk/people...cle3255623.ece

Reporting style way over the top - they even managed to get the old reporters favourite - "narrowly avoided a school/houses/orphanage" in, with a bit of a twist....

:ugh:

..... but still a good job by Annie

Now, what happened to the pilot - was he taken to task for poor flight planning i.e. planning a flight to an airport that would be closed as per it's normal operating schedule etc etc?

Well done Annie
 

Excellent effort

Nice to see John Nichol's name in the news again. Haven't heard anything about him for a while and was wondering if he was ok.

Top class effort by the Lady, although the story would have stood entirely on its own merits, without the Independent apparently getting JK Rowling to write it - does Voldemort switch off the TACAN at the end, I couldn't bear to read any more?

So, do they mean John Peters, the Tornado pilot or John Nichol the navigator???

Well done, but oh my god how much dramatic license did the story writer use.

I wonder who'll play her in the movie - because with artistic license like that, surely a movie is in the offing!

Well done once again for doing a good job in difficult circumstances - bad wx, bad RT.

Perhaps Jackonicko knows .....:)

No, it isn't.


That man has naff all to do with most things, but gets his face in the news, WHY?

A Flt Lt with a fiery tattoo on her calf...:E Officers just aren't what they used to be.

Hi, ZH875. Sounds like a touch of the Tim Mclelland jealousy here!! He was in the right place at the right time, and he keeps a relatively high profile with his books, which, to be fair, aren't bad.

The Tattoo
 

From what I recall, the tattoo was one of those long serpent/dragon things. It started somewhere near one of her ankles, wound its way up around her leg, across her back and then over one of her shoulders to terminate by one of the wobbly bits - apparently!

Don't quite remember her explaination as to why she had it done, but it must have taken ages and stung a bit. I guess it'll look a little odd when she's in her 50's/60s in a swimsuit on the beach, still judging by what else you see tattooed on other females these days, she'll have plenty of company. It certainly made an interesting conversation point when she was in her No1 uniform and the 'thing' vanished up her skirt............

Nevertheless............good effort at Lossie

I think JN has successfully moved into a second career as an author. I think his books are pretty good; he has achived far more previuosly than most authors.

Why not cut him some slack ZH875 - you come across as a tad bitter and twisted in that posting.

Good luck to him I say.

Heard John Nichol on talkSPORT Radio last Friday 10:00am til 13:00pm filling in for Gaunty..

At least a slightly less squeaky voice than Jon Gaunt! :}

Unlike his switches.....

.....allegedly

MightlyGem, its not the tattoo that should concern you with regard to modern standards; its the facts that the wearing of tights is alleged in the article !

Joking aside, you never know. ISTR that both her parents were ex-RAF. :8

Edit: Ooops nevermind, my pottermaniac of a girlfriend assures me they were Grey Funnel employees! :O:ugh:

> What's more important – your life or my jail term

I don't think anyone should be put in that position - ever.

If you're going to give someone responsibility, you also have to give them the authority to fulfil it. That's really very unfair.

AIDU,
I don't always agree with your comments, but your last post is very funny!
Cheers:ok:

But no mention was made as to the significance of the wind in the Tower at lossie....Does the wind in the office affect the ATCO's performance? - or does it just tingle to tattoo'd dragon wrapped around her soft.....
