any number of calling cards that offer about .5 to 5 cents per minute, depending if you dial the 1800 number or a local call number.

Defenestrator love the name! I'm still trying to drop defenestrate into a conversation without sounding like a pompous pratt; alas to no avail as yet!

If you have a question for Australian or NZ aviation professionals place it here.

QSK? I have a question and thought I would ask fellow aviators who are on scene for some advice. It might not be aviation related but thanks for your hospitality. Everyone else.... Thank you JT2

Hmm. Learnt another new word today..........



"When inebriated, he defenistrates the empties".

Yeah it's a bit good isn't it. Came across it in the dictionary one day and liked it. 'To be thrown through a window'. How could ya not like it.

Although with the suffix -or would not you be doing the throwing?

Defenestratee does not quite have the same ring to it...

Defenestrator

To me it sounds like:

1- The next version of the TX-1000 Terminator machine
2- An improved version of the burner can in the turbines
3 - A place in the turbines where you can cremate birds if they get sucked in the intake.
4 - Or a defense administrator ?????.....huh ??
Cool name though........... I hate mine.


Wait...edit, edit.............. what's with the phone cards again ?

Nah, I'm sorted now. That card link was perfect. If you don't like your name, why dont you go mad and change it? A good thread might be why and how you made your name up?

Great word - "When no-one was looking, they defenestrated the ops manual and did whatever they damn well felt like..."

Are you lot sure you're not all angle parked in a parallel universe at the moment?!

Either that or you've got too much time on your hands!
