This one has probably been used a hundred times before, but it made me laugh at the time...
One of my fellow PPL students in South Africa was a Nigerian without a complete command of english:
Student: "Tower, xxx - request taxi to the General Flying Area."
Tower: "xxx, Tower - take Route 5 and follow the signs to Uitenhage, although you may find it quicker to fly there..."
. .Another one was after a privately owned Mooney had had to sit behind a training aircraft, and wait a couple of minutes for the student to do the run-ups (although without making any audible complaints). After both aircraft had taken off, and been handed over to approach, the Mooney pilot's irritated voice continued thus:
Mooney: "Oh, and Approach - please make xxx aware that they should let another aircraft pass if they are going to take so long to do their checks"
Approach: "xxx - do you copy that?"
xxx: "Copy that, and wilco in future, as soon as we've done the telepathy conversion..."
. .AB

After a somewhat dodgy landing (involving one or two bounces) an aircraft was heard to call the Tower to request landing time ...
Response goes something like :-
G-XXXX - Which landing would that be for, the first, second or third ?
. . <img src="smile.gif" border="0"> <img src="smile.gif" border="0"> Circuit Basher - good fund of stories.
Do I know you - did you live in the wilds of woolly Dorset in days gone by and go out with little blue furries ??

TangoZulu, I know this thread is about RT calls (and some goodies, especially for us newbies who haven't heard them before) but the private life of Circuit Basher (if it is indeed he) sounds quite fascinating!

Tango Zulu - the reference to blue furries is quite appropriate and it is thus quite possible that we have been acquainted in a former life! I'm still involved with blue furries up here (also, now involved in them without an engine!).
