That would explain the early morning raid at my house today, Loads of YMCA glad chaps in Black (it’s the new Black they tell me)
Handed me a bill for AVGAS, signed by some called Manuel from the Basque Arms Acquisition department; sometimes known as BAA.
Behind him was a Gnome, (well that's what it looked like in the early morning light); but then I recognised it as Willie Walsh who had popped along, to see if he could learn anything from a totally disorganised situation.
Eventually I explained that I did not own a Yak 52 and had sold my Pitts years ago, so the Pilot that bought the AVGAS was not me.
Willie offered me a free BA ticket, if I told them the name of the Pilot. He handed me a Business lounge pass with Naomi Campbell’s name scrubbed off and mine in it's place. When I looked closely, Naomi’s name had been written over SNOOP DOGGY DOO DOO's, so it was at least third hand!
I wiped the traces of Cocaine from the card on Willie’s arm and handed it back. "You can't buy me of that easily" I retorted. "Now if I could have a couple of hours in the 777 sim, that would be fun". I said withna smirk,
"see if I could land it at White Waltham without ripping the undercarriage off!!"
He whispered something to Manuel, who hit him over the head and in a flash they where gone. Along with the Graham Norton look-alike SWAT team.
Hey Ho just another crazy day in the wonderful world of Aviation!!!
Saw the published figure on Pprune - so I popped over to fill up. EGLL £1.230? My arse. Anyway, I put Ken's name & address on the form the re-fueller (funny looking hi-viz jacket - it was black, made of kevlar, with lots of pockets) made me sign (and since when do fuel handlers need guns? - Health & Safety gone mad) since it was his thread on the Proon I was using as a reference for fuel availability.
Another fine mess he's got me into.

Then would you care to tell is where that is - because it sure as hell isn't where your profile location is (£1.492 inc VAT)

Now a bit of a dilemma, my aircraft is a thirsty old hector, so if I broadcast where the cheap fuel is, it’s going to run out!
All I’ am prepared to say is we having a fly in on May 4th, and fuel will be available
A little less conversation,
a little more aviation...
