NPIA beer

Trouble with it was they smashed thousands of pounds at it, got some one in to brew it who had no clue what they were doing. Wasted a lot of time deciding a name for it only to change it again. Oh and they were going to hold a large party with in the building used for brewing. But oh no they could not organise one.

The futures bright

Well Said HuntnHound!

HuntnHound well said! I just wish that some of the Luddites in charge of the changes listen. But somehow I think that being common sense it is a lost cause!

These people have little experience, and cannot see the essential nature of rapid response.

Oh well! Thats about it.

The one good thing is that what we created is well documented, as is the advice not to do what they plan. So when they do it and it all turns to Rat poo, it will be easy to identify the culprits. Somehow that does not worry them, but we must be determined to hold them to account.

Now where did I put those shares in the company that provides bollards to protect shop fronts?

I guess there will be a lot of nervous UEO's sitting in their offices waiting for the knock on the door, opening it to find a little old lady from victim support offering a shoulder to cry on over the theft of their Air Unit



On a serious note don't anyone think their unit is safe... yesterday common sense went out of the window once again when they decided to chop the most flexible aircraft in the World, the Harrier. If they can do that it shows how stupid things have become

I think that our ASU is safe. The management are always telling us how much they appreciate the contribution which we make and I genuinely do think that they will save us.

Got to go now, I can hear the doctor coming with my medicine.

Somewhere sometime today I fear this chap will be visiting a few poor souls, I would not be surprised if we get him despite being a damned busy 24 hour unit



Sadly we can only offer....To the unfortunate ones. I really hope they see sense and damage the faceless ones will cause

Any ones aircraft up for a big service soon. You may find they don't come back. ECUK save a fortune charging for a service they don't have to do on an airframe now on the market.

Too quiet! I can almost sense the tumbleweed rolling past.
Still not long now!

The one's that said :

Its published then
and

The Midlands are all safe.
Have they been "modded" - If so - Why ?

So - Come on - someone KNOWS - Spill the beans for the rest of us

The details are out there, but should not be made public until those who will be affected have been notified. If I was about to lose my job, I'd want to be told by my line manager rather than find out by means of an internet chat room.

- Who made that one up ?

If it was my job on the line I'd want to know as soon as possible,
Stuff waiting for my "Line manager" to inform me -
( aren't they all going to be away for the next 3 days ? )

If the information is "out there", lets have it "in here"
