Tommy the Typhoon 'Helps' RAF settle in
 
Spotlight On Forres & District

Tommy the Typhoon "thinks" that his helpers are called airmen, glad to see he knows about the same as his pilots then! He also thinks its great that Kinloss has shut with the loss of hundreds of jobs and a maritime capability but "thinks" the helpers called squaddies will be great for the local area. Wow!
Whoever signed this off should be shot!
Cheerio the noo!
chin chin.

The ar*e that wrote this should be paraded and flogged. They really have lost the plot!!!

I find it weird that "Tommy" looks nothing like a Typhoon...

cheers,
Jake.

If anybody from RAF PR is looking in here...

You have got this so wrong. Heads should roll.

PS

I would hope this is on the way to the local MPs at the relevant locales as I type.

You are assuming that this is an official Media and Comms product. It certainly doesn't look like one to me.

Tommy looked out over the apron and wondered where all the Airman had gone that he knew,
And then it dawned on Tommy, we had just had a Strategic Defence Review.............

The Old Fat One 4th Oct 2011 16:09

I would agree accept that it appears to have the RAF logo on it. You cannot use the RAF logo without RAF permission.

Winco 4th Oct 2011 16:15

Oh Dear, Oh Dear, Oh Dear!

To whoever is responsible for this drivel - stunning!

Words fail me frankly

grandfer 4th Oct 2011 16:22

I can't believe what I've just read , who writes this cr@p ? Worse still , what is the mentality of the people that this rubbish is aimed at ?:eek::ooh::eek:

The Old Fat One 4th Oct 2011 16:27

Come on journo's

Time to make yourself useful!

Duncan D'Sorderlee 4th Oct 2011 16:27

TOFO,

I think that you meant that one 'shouldn't' use the RAF logo without the RAF's permission rather than 'cannot'. I think you'll find that you can!

Duncs:ok:

Another outrage bus departing - "all aboard"!













Alternatively, given everything else that has been going on, you could forget about it and get on with your life.....

A2QFI 4th Oct 2011 17:32

For some people the RAF IS their life - even in the face of this cretinous drivel! Still there is so much crap going on another bucketful won't matter.

ex-fast-jets 4th Oct 2011 17:35

But it also mentions that "Tony the Tank", Tommy's cousin, may be moving into the neighbourhood to a place called Kinloss, with his best friends called "squaddies"!!

What a lovely story!

Can't wait to see the film and read the sequel!!

Fantastic!
 
Tommy was most aggrieved that his friend ‘Henry the Harrier’ had been retired from service. After blowing ‘Tariq the Taliban’ sky high, Henry had a huge following, and many agreed the retirement was premature.

He also mourned the loss of his other friends,

Jerry the Jaguar
Nigel the Nimrod
Sammy the Snatch Land Rover
Timmy the Tornado (Oops sorry, thats in the next chapter)

Goodnight.....

Who does L@nd R0ver change to Land Rover?

Biggus 4th Oct 2011 17:38

It's one page in a local free magazine which is full of adverts (20% off home improvements, festive menu and vouchers for a local hotel, etc) for local businesses and community news.

It is aimed at joe public, most of whom can't tell the difference between a Tornado and a Typhoon, and is intended to thank the local community for the efforts they made in keeping Lossiemouth open.



It is well intended, if a little on the condescending side. Give it a rest, there are far worst things going on at the moment to get irate about!!

MFC_Fly 4th Oct 2011 17:45

I bet Tommy isn't looking forward to his helpers not being well enough to help him because of the "parties" with the helpers of his cousin Tony in Elgin every Saturday night!! :ouch:
