Winstun my old son,I've been following this thread for some time and I think I've got it!
"Being a model pilot......." you fly model aircraft
"Linguist? No." Definitely not."Mon reason d'etre......"In this case I think"Ma raison......." is more appropriate.
"Astronaut collegues (sic)
Methinks you are a Space Cadet as my kids would say.

Winstun I believe I also know an astronaut, apparently he was
an early shuttle pilot. He is really accomplished because he has
logged the first known missed approach in the shuttle, and he
never held an ATPL, not a single one!

Well, well.....how predictable
'taylor'.....making sure you're all on your toes..
'ma raison' not used due to your average Aussie yobbo highly unlikely to grasp the sentance. This is very Australian behaviour: coming to the envious realization of their complete inferiority to my good self, their only contribution is spelling rebuttals. FYI, my spelling in 8 languages is on average, well above par. I'm sure you all can't bear that thought.
30/30, Methinks your kids don't have much to look forward to in home education. Personally, I believe parents should be required to undergo aptitude tests before producing more offspring of the questionable same. Boofta, do you pronounce your name starting with a high toned p ?

4711, get a life
He speaks nine languages (including, apparently fluent 'emoticon'), thus affording him opportunities beyond our ken to wound with his words. But, Winstun, the consummate master of unarmed intellectual combat responds with the pithy "get a life". (No, I don't have a lisp)
Not for our Winstun the drudgery of facts. No, our Winnie can impress upon us his achievements and calibre merely by repeatedly requesting a bone. Not content with just any bone, however, our mild-mannered hero wants a bone designed specifically for 'friggin'. His desperate cries ring out across cyberspace, as he craves a good 'friggin'. When will our hero achieve his aim?
Through subtle hints and innuendo, he attempts to seek those of his ilk:
Boofta, do you pronounce your name starting with a high toned p ?
PS Winnie, you said you speak eight languages in addition to your native English. Here Now you are saying that it is a total of eight. Best to keep the story consistent, for artistic continuity if not credibility.
Once more: It was five ATPLs, nine languages, an indeterminate number of astronaut 'colleagues', a large number of lives saved in 'war zones' using ABC paper-backs and several lawyers assisted in legal matters. We need to keep this well controlled, Winnie, or your credibility might be damaged and we could not let that happen to a man of your calibre.
Being just an average yobbo, I did find the French 'sentance' (must be Yoorapean for 'sentence') hard to grasp, so I thank you for your consideration. 'Mon raison' translates into yobbese much better than 'ma raison', but I am still stuffed if I can work out where the raisins come in (either yours or your ma's).

4711, perhaps you should retire back to your NAS nauseation.
Thats spelling ....(which you seam to have a fetish for)...in 8 languages. Perhaps the 9 your refering to is the Kaptin's ONLY 9 ATPLs? Yes, I do speak 9 languages including English and the ones I have already mentioned. One of my languages I do not read or write. 
It's amusing that many find my 5 ATPLs a problem, whereas they are quite prepared to believe any drivel emanating from the Kaptin. It's a sound Aussie trait, mateys believing their own, each others bullsh*t. I have no such dellusions. And yes, I am tru blu. Whether any here believe my tickets or not is irrelevant to me. I know my own credentials. I know the silent majority of viewers appreciate my balanced reasoning and informative opinion. Even while being envied, attacked, and ridiculed, I know I am significantly contributing to the betterment of aviation. Thank you and goodbye.

Sorry Amos
I fink I gorn and dun it.
Alas, poor Weenie, we knew him well.
(I fink he'll be back, though.)
Winnie
I can assure you that you are being neither envied nor attacked.
Yes, Winnie, I'm sure the 'viewers'(?) do. (It's PPRuNE Winnie, not Big Bruvva. If you think there are 'viewers' out there who are watching you, I suggest that your problems are more serious than first thought.) Their silent support is palpable. Empty envelopes, expressing silent support, must keep flooding in. Strange phone calls, where the caller never says anything, are, no doubt, evidence of this silent support. Blank faxes must keep exhausting your paper supplies.
I propose that we organise a "Winnie Pooh Silent Supporters March". I can see it now:
"What do we want?!!"
"........................................................... ......................."
"When do we want it?!!!"
"........................................................... ......................."
Latest "Is Winnie a Raving nut-job?" poll results:[list=1][*]Yes, like a bar of Cadbury's Chocolate, he "may contain traces of nuts". - 9878 votes[*]No - he is a well balanced individual, whose homicidal proclivities only serve to highlight his grasp on the nuances of field surgery, the law, aviation, security, taxation law, anal endeavours, etc. - 1 vote[/list=1]
Out of an estimated world population of 6,230,772,976 people, only 9878 voted against Winnie. Combining the total votes for Winnie with the silent majority, it soon becomes apparent that the "Winnie for leader of the free world and tasers for all" movement is rapidly gaining momentum.

Winstun,
no one here envies you or feels inadequate inlight of all your supposed credentials and life experiences, really it's more pity and amusement.
Thus far i've seen very few people actually agree with you on any topic, i agreed with you that resumes should be kept to one page, some disagree, so be it.
But in all respects you've proven to be an absolute d1ckhead, you really need to seek therapy.

hehe, four seven eleven
winstun voted for himself in that last poll.
what a loser he is.
My five year old neice reckons that he should grow up, and that if the minority report crew could see into the future. they would have made sure winstuns parents were both dissallowed from having children, let alone a dog.
and that is coming from a five year old girl. I always show her winstuns posts and she reckons that winstun is like most boys her age.
A five year said that about you winstun.....

Moderate, Modest & Mild.

Oi Winsie - it's even MORE apparent in your last post that English is NOT your native language, based on the vast number of spelling and grammatical errors in your last post....intentional or otherwise, no-one could wittingly, or willingly, expose oneself to the public ridicule to the extent to which you have done. (Perhaps you use a translation programme??!!) 
WRT the obvious "thorn in your side", Wins - the number of ATPL's you claim (a miserable 5
).....whereas Amos has SEVENTEEN - something more indicative of a pilot who has TRULY experienced a worldwide aviation education - it's on a quid quo pro basis, Winnie.
You show me your's, and I'll show you mine
BTW, Wins, did you ELECT not to fly for any Australian airlines?
Or were you rejected at the initial interview?

Well!...you've really gone and done it now, you lot!
I think he's gone for good!
That's ruined my day!
Then again...4711 was starting to show signs of a "strange kind of intelligence"...
perhaps we should have a 4711 fan club!?

Come back Winnie, all is forgiven!!!
TO all those who bemoan the apparent demise of Winstun, who came, who saw and who illuminated the world with his insight and modest charm, I apologise for any part I may have played in driving this superior being from our midst.
But fear not, for Winnie is amongst his flock - the 'silent majority' - who are better able to (silently) appreciate his attributes.
In memory of this great character who gave of himself so freely for the "betterment of aviation", I propose the establishment of the "Wit and Wisdom of Winstun" foundation (website at www,WWW,com, of course), to better enable the world to experience this exceptional human being (if that is indeed what he was).
The foundation's aim would be to spread the "Gospel According to Winstun" to less enlightened shores, converting the heathen yobbos to the cause.
First order of business:
The education of the unwashed masses in Winstunian logic and statistics.
It has been established by the master himself that approximately 7% of the Australian population suffer from some form of alcoholic dependence. As pilots are representative of the Australian population, the application of Winstunian logic dictates that 7% of Australian pilots are similarly afflicted. This is cause for serious concern.
Perhaps of more concern, but not raised by the Dalai Winstun (for fear of alarming the public), is the fact that application of Winstunian logic proves that the flying public are at greater risk than ever before thought possible.
Consider these terrifying facts. Next time you board an airline flight, you have:
Second order of business:
The establishment of the Winstunian School of Linguistics
It is apparent that the unwashed masses are not as well versed in the fine art of languages as is our fearless leader. It will be an immediate aim of the School to advance the teaching of Latin to all Winstunians. This will have three immediate and tangible benefits:[list=1][*]Should any Winstunian ever find himself in a similar situation to 'our dear leader - Kim Yung Winnie' on 'covert operations' in Latin America, familiarity with the local language will be of immeasurable benefit.[*]Yobbos will be able to understand the Kaptin's reference to quid pro quo, rather than embarrass themselves looking for a one-pound hooker.[*]By spreading the concept of Winstunian spelling, it will soon 'seam' that those who are continuously 'refering' to spelling are in fact suffering from 'dellusions'. They will soon realise that Winstunian spelling is the only 'tru blu' variety and will eventually take over the world in a (silent) revolution.[/list=1]
Remember, there are three types of people in this world: Those who understand Winstunian Logic and those who do not.
”What do we want?!”
“A friggin’ bone!!!!!”
“When do we want it?!”
“Now!!!!!”
“What do we want it for?!!!!”
“Um, er…. Well it’s really for a ‘friend’, who enjoys that sort of thing…. In the privacy of his own home….. amongst consenting adults….. not that there’s anything wrong with that….!”

- A 16% chance that your pilot is below the age of 8 and cannot reach the rudder pedals
- A 0.4% chance that your pilot is over the age of 100
- A 3.2% chance that your pilot is paraplegic or quadriplegic
- A 17.6% chance that your pilot just 'got some'.
- A 0.0000045% chance that your pilot just received a "friggin' bone"
- A 2.1% chance that your pilot is completely blind (Note, this refers to eyesight, and not the original alcohol related risk, which remains at 7%)
- A 99.78% chance that your pilot has does not have even one ATPL

I thought I had rested my case here but this continuing unsavory banter is despicable. The administrator continues to prolong this thread only by advertiser demands, and I reluctantly reply to correct additional misinformation.
So?….very few people understand the facts on many topics…exactly why I am here.
Here is a clear case of parental negligence, extending to a questionable ‘uncle’.
She’s apparently getting some quality education surfing the internet with you ....but whats’ your point? I have seen a 5 year old girl fire a bullet point blank between a mans eyes. And do you tell your neice why you don’t already fly a jet? Thought not.
Kaptin, did I say I do not or never did fly for any Australian airlines? And if so, what of it? Are you suggesting this is some great achievement or that I can’t make three times the cash, doing half the work on better equipment somewhere else? I have knowledge of some ‘experienced’ airline pilots that can barely hand fly and then, not for very long. And there are many fine pilots rejected at airline interviews for no reason other than interviewer’s (..possibly one that can not hand fly) fickle mood at said moment. So what?
And do you have some kind of problem with people not native to English?
4711, when you look at the forum index, please read the word at the top of the column to the right of replies. Yes, that is views…and views are made by viewers.
FYI, despite your perception Pprune is one very small part of the aviation world... the bottom, dregs part. Yes, I am here to lift the game, and I can assure you the silent majority (the wider public) are very much behind me and cherish my executive consultancy on aviation matters. Don’t attempt to skew the statistics. 7% was the conservative estimate for alcohol abuse by Australians, 14% was the realistic estimate by the national health authority. Now, I am not suggesting that pilots are at those exact percentages, but by simple deduction it would not be far off the mark. In fact it could well be higher, spend a little time at some airline layover hotel bars and you will get the idea. This is not something to hide from, it’s a common problem in Australian society with long term ill-health consequences. So by your reasoning, you would suggest that pilots also have a much lower incidence of obesity, suicide, cancer, heart attack, traffic accidents, divorce etc, etc, than the national average? Wrong. Your wild assertions are quite amusing but very irrelevant I admit my languages spelling is not the best, it is something I am working on in all 8. Try not to dwell on the spelling and concentrate more on the information and ideas.

My most humble apologies, oh fellow Winstunian. Unfortunately, like so many modern genii, our illustrious one is a shy, retiring creature, who flinches under the stings and arrows of outrageous misfortune.
It would be a sad day indeed if the immense sagacity and vision of such a deity were to be lost to us mortals merely because I lacked the faith of the silent majority. Why, was it not master Winstun himself who commanded from on high: “4711, get a life”?
How could I have missed the brilliance encapsulated in this one commandment? It is so simple it is blowing my mind! “Get a life!!!!” I wish I had thought of it before. I think I will start by getting a name. For too long, I have been known merely as a number. No more will I be scorned and ridiculed by the ‘lettered’ community. Henceforth, I shall be known as “Winnieson” in honour of our saviour the maestro Winstun.
But, good news it at hand. Like Hermes, Winstun serves as a messenger, scribe, and herald for the gods. And, like herpes, he returns, again and again. Even the intellectual antibiotic of acuity will not diminish him, nor will the prophylactic of perspicuity avert his utterances. For he is Winstun, the Conqueror of cogitation, the idol of illation. Such is the power of silence.
My greatest fear was that, like Punxsutawney Phil spotting his shadow, our fearless magi would disappear into his burrow, descending us into an intellectual winter the likes of which we have not yet seen. But no, his furry little nose twitching with wisdom, Winnie has thrust himself into our midst once again, expounding his views on a multitude of subjects.
The crowds look on in silence, their very lack of words eloquently summarising Winnie’s qualities.
Three cheers for Winnie!!!!
“Hip Hip!!!!”
“…………………………….”
“Hip Hip!!!!”
“…………………………….”
“Hip Hip!!!!”
“…………………………….”
But who is Winstun Powers, this intergalactic man of mystery? With his skills, his experience and his mighty cerebration, could this numen be anything other than the world’s greatest lover. Surely he possesses the ‘mojo’ of a dozen horny goats. Perhaps this is his Achilles’ heel. Will our ‘undercover operator’ be undone by his one true love - “La Tex Galore”. Will this mysterious beauty with the perpetually surprised facial expression spill the friggin’ bones…… sorry beans, on Winnie’s true identity? Will she handle the pressure? Will she be pumped for the secrets only she knows? Or, will Winnie let her down? Only time will tell if Winnie’s secret identity is safe.
In the meantime, we mere mortals bow our heads, hardly daring to look up into the brilliant Winshine which appears every time he rises from his throne. We offer thanks for this tutelary of all that is good and wise.
Please Winstun, never leave us. We are not worthy. You are the Messiah.
