Hi All

What the bejesus is a "Connie", a woman, a Lockheed Constellation - crypic sh1t or what!!!

Trust me to get a fellow potatoe harvester to answer

DOUBLE BOGEY 26th February 2009 21:21

Still cryptic - are you trying to find a woman. We have plenty up in ABZ but they are all boilers!!!

DOUBLE BOGEY 26th February 2009 21:24

The word is spelt "potato" but you can use the word "spud".

I cannot spell "criptik" either

T4 Risen 26th February 2009 21:32

Not all boilers in EGPD....... there are few imports that are rather nice....

Hmmm

he could either mean

a) Contracts ..... although this would be silly. The base exists, so therefore must have contract(s) - Freud.

b) Contractors ..... perhaps this is a new and affectionate term.

T4 yeah...the imports are just fine. Mine is anyway!!! Any idea what/who a "Connie" is?

UK, Humberside, wouldn't have anything to do with external loads would it?

T4 Risen 27th February 2009 06:16

DB

"Connie"

A term used by us engineer types to describe contract labour.
