I am sure we have all had a ‘World, swallow me up moment’.

Mine was at a FAA Taranto Night (clue there) many years ago when following the recent departure of my father from this Mortal Coil I imbibed far too much and made a complete arse of myself which haunts me to this day.

Am I the only one to feel like this??

TN.

Nope...:cool:

Thank You Lima Juliet - I feel better already 😀.

I aim to please...:p:p:p

I remember a big management dinner where I used to work. Our General Manager, who wasn't universally respected, said "I want you guys to keep on doing what you do best, and I will keep doing what I do best".

'Aye, wanking' I said to by nearby chum, in what was meant to be a stage whisper, but in fact seemed to echo throughout the room.

Cue hysterical, but suppressed laughter from the company secretary, and looks of horror from all directions...

Went home thinking I'd be SNLR in the morning, but nothing ever said.

We've all been there....

I have a few, some just funny.

1. During a tour of Coningsby and on seeing a Phantom drop tank lying in the hangar I asked “how many GALLONS does that hold sir” to the senior officer in charge. I never lived that down.

2. During one presentation the speaker’s microphone died and he asked if we could hear him at the back of the room “yes we can” came the reply, about 2 minutes into his presentation the same voice called out “we can still hear you”. ​Fortunately that wasn’t me because the culprit paid dearly.

I learned at an early age that drinking in company with senior colleagues was a bad idea, I stopped doing it after one major gaffe at the age of 25 and lived by that rule for the next 30 years.

Thanks All, feeling much better about it now and no mistake, better than going to Confession this..............what I have thought was a look of disdain for all these years from a fellow diner was clearly one of respect for a top turn😀.
