Viking Bar revival thread!
 

OK.
It had to be done.
Ex-Cockpitforumers have begun loitering assorted threads in this fora. Again.:E
Maybe we should try and keep the gibberish here, instead of de-railing all the the other threads!:}
I really miss all the useful and useless threads over there. Especially the one spreading out over thirty-something pages, dealing with anything and everything.
Then there was the "Ringstinger thread" where The Knoldster taught us, the commons, of the "art of massive Tabasco consumption". And of course the after-math of those "fiestas".:p Not very mature,....but it certainly made for enjoyable reading.
...and if for no other reason,...to round up the ol' gang and start throwing our weight around in this 'ere normally zleepy section, called the Nordic forum.
...and if for no other reason #2,...to waken up that sleeping dragon again!:E
Flapsforty, I believe her name was/is!?
......and after having checked her profile, I realize a nick-change might be on the horizon, since she's having her 50th birthday today!!!! December 6th!!
Hip-Hip----Horray for Flapsfifty!!! :D
Sorry Flaps!;) Celebrate in style,...'cause you're probably worth it!!
Aaalrighty then!
Any takers?

[QUOTE][I realize a nick-change might be on the horizon, since she's having her 50th birthday today!!!! December 6th!!
/QUOTE]

Aye, little spring chick she is:

I am having my 51st b-day December 7th.
She is just a youngster by a day and a year and she looks it as well.
Man, If I was 30 years younger, I'd take her out for dinner and the rest.:E

So, uh the Viking Bar is back in business now?

We can hang out and not worry about offending every arse-hole in town that stopped by at the wrong place and the wrong time?

Sounds good boys, lets crank this thing up and if F-40 wanna party she ought to join the club, bikini or not....:cool:

So maybe the nordiv forum should have its own Viking Bar? Who seconds this? :D:ok:

I`ll see who I can round up for the rodeo! ....probably about 2 folks hehehe:ugh::{

Let`s see if we can awaken the purple dragon... follow me on this one guys:}

Speed checked... FLAPS 5!

:D:D:D:D:D

Mr Letterman,
Yes, I will take on just about anything.:E
Guttn,
Your idea is a brilliant one!:ok: Lets råkk!:8
TD,
Then, you're not as old as I thought!!:E Sorry sailor......
Hårek,
I don't have any extra personalities just yet.....might have to work on that one....before it's too late.:}
But,...whatever happened to them other people.... Emma and her hubby, for examle?

Emma - the hotlip from the north
 

An2,

Emma (as far as I can remember after a few long drinks in the Bar) set sail years ago and disappeared into the Aurora Borealis and never looked back. Sad actually, `cause she had a tongue cut out of the worst winter storms in the northern parts of Norway. If you ever visited the place of Emma`s origin you would know what I am talking about. But a true lady she is. Not that I think F50 would appreciate her language. But as long as the frequent bar visitors do, we`re all happy. Right? Right!

Truth is
 

Aye, Emma is still around, but under a different name on a different board.

To send her a message, try this link:
http://www.cruisersforum.com/forums/...ilmember&u=735

And how old did ya think I was...?
Gramps doing the internet thing?

No kiddo, I am a man in the middle of his best age, and been there for years.;)

Also into mid-life crises and considering the idea of falling in love with a rich and beatiful South American princess in her early 20s.
Then considering winning the grand prize in Lotto, fancy cars, big yachts, lots of bitches.

So the TowerDog ain't getting old and lazy on his old days, no Sir, still up and kicking ass.

Just need to find F-40 so I can take her out and let her sample my soul and my flesh next time she lays over in Florida. She will then change her name to Lucky Lady....:ooh:

Emma surfing the waves? No way!
 

Yeah right, Emma on a sailboat. It`s ok that she is born with salt sea spashing up her dining room windows, but sailing....???? Now way. I think you just want your old forum pals to register on another forum. Fair enough, I might do it when I have nothing else to do ;)

Well, I don't think Emma is on a sailboat, but she is the airplane nut on that forum, Amphibian or something..Boat and plane combined.

She has been unusally quiet lately however.
The link was more for guys to leave her a message and inviting her over here, to the dungeons on the Vikingbar, not to get on that saiboat forum, which can be pretty boring with endless discussions on "which anchor is best", unless ya are indeed into sailboats and the cruising life style.

So, uh, no don't sign with the them guys, stay right here and blow some life into this thread instead.

Speaking of, where is F-40 (50) when ya need her?
Did she retire from these shores?
Or so full of menopause and hot-flashes that she is too busy beating her husband and her surroundings to come over here and say hello to the studs?

TD,
Happy Birthday ol' chum!!:ok:
I shall heaveth a glass of Bowmore to your health! *imagine bear-heaving emoticon*
(I miss the emoticons from Cockpitforum!!! :()

....and I'm lagging you by 10+ years, by the way....:}

Now, I'm gonna follow that link of yours to see if something can be done about that fearsome lady!:p She was a riot!:E

Don't hold yer breath young fellah: The next ten years goes faster than a virgin's orgasm.

Yeah, get that little sweetie over here. She will have fun hanging out with the 'ol boys from kukpit forum...Promise.

Aye me skippers!

very nice with a grand reopening of the Viking Bar! :}

me and the ol' Cod is most likely gonna meet up in FLL during the holidays and sample the local beer....maybe some pure platinum...

Happy Birthday btw, to the both of you, youngsters you are!


set sail....

Letterman, right on the money:}. Changing companies from having to save up for about 6 months to be able to buy a bag of peanuts on discount:ugh: (sad thing is that I`m not even kidding:{) to one where you are welcomed to the family:ok::}. So, no, I`m not that slim anymore:} and not as shady as I used to be:cool:.

So, shall we ask for a Viking Bar or what!?!??:D

It is not much going on around here. Actually not on the Nordic forums at all:{ The only folks keeping it going are those keen dudes who want to get into Air Baltic. That in itself should be a wake up call to us all. Viking Bar revival :rolleyes: Well......;)

Aaaah, so there you are Hårek!!
I had to sit on my hands for a while there, to not be the only one keeping this thread afloat!:8

Whaaat's happening......?

Not much goin' on here. Think I'll need a slice of whiskey to sort things out!:E

Aye, a hydraulic sandwich...?

Bon Apetite. :E

Better than the infamous snøscooter-sandwich:\:ugh::yuk::(

TD,
Thanks very much!
...and Yes, it did taste just fine. Actually,..all of them!:}

Guttn,

Not quite with you there!
Care to elaborate a little?
"Snöscooter-sandwich" - sounds like a recepie for disaster, if you ask me!:E
Am I missing out on something here?!:8

A Noggie phenomenon perhaps:\. It has something to do with bread (any kind will do, maybe even toast), moonshine from your basement and/or local barn, and a snowmobile. Now every Noggie knows that moonshine is frowned upon. But not as much as snowmobile driving:ugh:. And for some folks 2 wrongs sometimes make a right:eek::}. But since it`s perfectly legal to drive snowmobiles in Sweden, you may not have this kind of extremesport there:}:}:D

With our world famous chef Ante Valente :}:yuk::ok:

Or perhaps An2 Valente :}

Sorry dude, I just couldn`t resist that lay-up:ok:;):}

:}:}:}:}:}:}:}:}
Mr Letterman,
Thanks for the link!
One word comes to mind; Priceless!!!!
Guttn,
Thanks for that broadside!! :ouch: :}
Actually,...now that I know what it is,..."snöskoter-macka" is a pretty common diet anywhere north of Arvidsjaur, here in "Blond Country". ;)
Year-round I believe!:E
P.S It would've been "tjänstefel" of you to miss the lay-up, so I don't blame you. Rest assured though,........what goes around, comes around!! D.S:E

I shall not join this thread as I'm currently on x-mas vacation, expected back on Jan 3rd at least 10kgs heavier and well overdue for a C-check on my liver.

Looking forward to introducing my Turkish wife to the delights of a full-on Danish x-mas lunch, with plenty of snaps (O.P. Andersson obviously). While she can hold her drink and doesn't generally suffer from hang-overs, I wonder what pickled heering and cupious amounts of snaps will do to her :E

Yes, I know, evil is my middle name.

Merry X-mas fellow vikings, Floppy's siging off.

Good Lord Mr. FFF, ya got married?

What happened? Been smoking crack, or just a case of temporary insanity Ms. FFF?

Ha-ha, we have all made that mistake a time or two.

Won't hold it against ya the first time. :=

viking bar?
 

Ya all seem like quite the fxxking bunch......
Like it, love it......
Want more of it....
I came across this site from a fellow Noggin a few days ago.
Im just a guy displaced from above the cold circle ( i remember driving snowmobiles in arvidsaur and karasjok some decades ago) Fuxxk that was cold, Not gonna do that on purpose again anytime soon so good luck with that.
Anywhoo, Yallseem to be of my mind so....
How does a new guy get into this bar?( did i hear something about 50 yar old chicks in bikinis? :ok:)
Take care.
Joe.
And please see my thread about Cumberland Airlines.

Remember " it's beer 30 somewhere" :ok::ok::ok::ok:

definition of an Alchohol problem .. Hmm??:rolleyes:

Nope never had that problem,, I live within walking distance of the liquer store.:}

Happy hollydays everyone..:ok:

Smoknjoe,
Welcome to "the Bar"!
Aye, Mr Letterman has speaketh the thruth. Again...:}

No signs of any bikini-chicks just yet though!!:{
They'll come around, I'm pretty sure!!:suspect: ...we'll just have to hang in there!:zzz:

TD,
FFF actually announced his marriage on the old forum, but you were not around then as I recall it.
Many of us were non-believers of this happening, until presented with facts a while ago.
She must be one special girl!!:ok:
Sooo,...that's one single stud less,...but many more to go!!:8

Aye, that may be so.

Yeah, I bailed out of the old forum when the man wanted dough for full access: If ya don't pay up, ya become a second class citizen.
Not so with the old TowerDog, can't play second fiddle ya know.

Sooo, FFF got married a while ago? That is why he is so quiet these days...?

No time to go bar-hopping in Copenhagen with bikini girls, or write tall flying stories on the boards. Poor sod, he is probably doing dishes or painting the white picket fence.
He shall surely be missed by most.:{

As for joining the Viking Bar: Aye, easy mates! Pull up a chair, pour a pint of mjød and tell some lies. No political correctness around here: Ya can pick on Swedes, women, rag-heads or whatever, everything flies...:E

Sounds like home sweet home..
 

"1. Your definition of an Alchohol problem is: Being out of it.
2. Mothers hide their daughters when you come to town: This of course because they want you all to themselves.

So do you feel at home yet:cool: "

Sounds like home sweet home..

Regarding the poor sap who got married, Good luck with that.:hmm:
Did that twice myself, It ended becauce of AIDS. Army Induced Divorce Syndrome the first time and Aviation Induced Divorece Syndrome the second time.
I hear three's a charm? Anyone?

Anywhoo, Work just called since im on reserve, Im off to Punta Cana i think. Just got hired with a nice small compay and im enjoying flying again.
Spent way too long with Mesa :{. If youre familliar with them you'll understand.:{

Take care.
Joe.

Remember, Its beer 30 somewhere:ok::ok::ok::ok:

Punta Cana..?

I was there just the other day. Nice place but did not stay, 1 hour on terra, then back to MIA.

Who d'ya fly for?

I just got on with USA3000. Based in PIT. Live in western MD. Im new but so far they have treated me like gold.

Take care.
Joe.

Aye, USA 3000...

You dudes are lucky! Yer previous manager of crew schedule was a bitch and hated by all..Last summer she quit and came over to Tradewinds so we got stuck with her.:ugh:
In the meantime the USA 3000 guys were popping champagne corks and celebrating every day for months.

The bubbly is still flowing over that one. Sorry:)

Take care.
Joe.

Remember, its beer 30 somewhere.:ok::ok::ok::ok:

Aye, so ya have heard the stories?

Nah, don't bother me nothing, I left Tradewinds a few months ago for greener pastures and don't regret it.

Can relax now with a low-stress job and even quit smoking and cut back on drinking. (that place drove me nuts, 30 hour duty days lack of concern for crew wellbeing, all for half pay)

Not good, not in the long run anyway, that place needs a union so bad but the troops are running scared: Anybody trying to organize gets fired.:rolleyes:

"Aye, so ya have heard the stories?"
Sure have, But Like i said before, I come from mesa :ugh:. They wrote the book on fuxxing with pilots and bending the rules using intimidation. Mesa managements favorite quote when i argued that something was agains the contract. Grieve it. They knew i would have to comly and MAYBE be made"whole" in 6-18 months. Fuxxers.

"and even quit smoking"
I know i should, Im just not a quitter:=,:),once again,a decade total with mesa. Im just now recovering from the stockholm syndrome/battered spouse condition induced by that place.
Worked with many awsome folks, Just couldnt see myself there long term.

"I left Tradewinds a few months ago for greener pastures and don't regret it."
Good, Happy you're at greener pastures :D.Where are you now?

"and cut back on drinking." Come now, you just have to keep practicing ;).

Ended up not flying today. Back on reseve sat morning.

Take care.
Joe.

Beer. It's not just for breakfast anymore :ok::ok::ok::ok:.

At AA..The airline, not the drinking club.
Got MIA base and the B-757/767..Sweet gig, the Boeing twins are like Cadillacs..Quiet, easy to drive, comfortable, etc.
If we only get a new contract next year without going on strike and burning the place down....
Yeah, I was doing it too much: 1/2 case of beer per day, got a good size beer belly out of it.
Not good as I am into a mid-life crises at the same time: Can't chase them young chicks with a beer belly, they go for the slim look...:=
What is it with that place? Heard mucho horrendous about Mesa...Why does folks stick around if it is that bad?
These days there is a real pilot shortage blooming and in many ways a seller's market.
5 years ago it was tough with 6000 furloughed pilots walking the streets in unemployment-land and the employers could really screw you over and do it again.
Nowadays they are screaming for pilots offering sign-up bonuses and other goodies.
I kept my CFI alife and being on some mailing list for CFI holders I keep getting job offers in the mail from the big flight schools promising up to $40K in annual compensation plus this plus that....:sad:
Back in the old days the young instructors had to beg, lie, cheat and steal to get one hour of flight time. Always hanging aorund airports, sneaking into to garbage to search for a half-eaten sandwich or perhaps some soggy fries.:(
Aye, times have-a-changed, now a pilot is in the drivers seat and can look himself in the mirror with a smile on his face.:cool:

Holy sh!t, 12 hours later and nobody in the bar?

Ya guys on permanent vacation or just shy little girls?

I ain't gone fly solo in this place....

To keep the doors open, we need some clientele...Don't have to be high class, or any class for that matter, just warm bodies in the vacant seat..:cool:

No, no, no,.....it's just that you and Smoknjoe went all serious on us and at least I felt a bit "thrown off" by it!!:}

Also, I had to take a break to plan/execute the twins birthday-party.
Back on top of things now again.....:ok: ....I think.
Ohh, almost forgot,.. Christmas is around the corner.:hmm:
Here we go again, I s'pose?!:ugh:

X-Mas is for kids
 

An2,

X-Mas is for kids. Let your twins understand that you do everything for them up until X-Mas. Thereafter it`s daddy-time in the Bar. No interuptions whatsof:mad:ever. Same goes for wifes and such who wants attention over the next week or so. This time of the year is for daddy to do what he likes and for mamas to attend to the kitchen stuff :ok:

I take it for granted that we all hang around here 24/7 as of the 25th.:cool:

Not so sure about hanging out at the bar from the 25th onwards.

The 'ol Dog is junior man on reserve in MIA starting the 24st.
The odds of being called for a trip is so close to 100% that I did not even put up a X-mas tree.
My ass will be off on some junior trip that some asshole dropped in Open Time, or called in sick to get out off.
You boys mark my words and see the result in 36 hours from now when I am again obliged to answer my telephone.

Of course I could have the good fortune of getting a nice 4 day trip to Buenos Aires with a crew of lusty flight attendandts. Good food and drink down there as well.

Perhaps the sun will shine on me despite being THE junior man.

Stay tuned....:sad:

Well, as I thought:

Crew schedule desperate for warm bodies, but at least they gave me a choice of trips: Picked a flight to Montevideo with a 34 hour lay-over. Gives me plenty of time to sample the local wildlife and firewater. :cool:

Stay tuned.

This dude will set sail for eastern Europe on the 25th. :ouch: TD, it looks like you`re going to have more of a blast in Montevideo, but I`m not going to bet on it. It can be pretty hot :cool: in the eastern parts of the European mainland.

To all ex-cockpitforumers (you too Flip Flop, if you better half let you look in here): Have some peaceful days :ok:
