P1 "It also tells us about anything abnormal"
P2 " he doesn't mean you"

Followed by uncontrollable laughter and P2 collapsed with shoulders shaking. Quality. CSD was a bit good looking for BA though!

I know that poor Chihuahua has been put through the proverbial mill over his knee jerk response to the proggy. However, (call me a killjoy) I do find it somewhat disconcerting that others take an almost sadistic delight in rubbing his nose in it (pun not intentional). It sort of indicates a schoolboyish mentality that (OK) is acceptable up to a point but I think some of you guys have gone beyond this.

Personally I would rather trust someone that cares about something that they take at face value rather than someone that adopts this somewhat smug (ie I would never make such a stupid and fundamental mistake) approach. Admit it (if you can), we've all got hold of the wrong end of the stick at some point in out lives. This holier-than-thou attitude can, in other circumstances, lead to a rather more serious outcome.

Sorry to pour cold water on the fun. It was a great piece of broadcasting though (for a change).

It's called "banter" 32Foxtrot, the ability to give and takes vast quantities of said substance being one of the pre-requisites for the job of pilot (along with the ability to quote at least 3 complete scenes from the Monty Python ouevre.)

Schoolboyish? Maybe. Who cares! I saw Chihuaha's post and cracked up; I think he's taken it fairly well, but go on mate, put the original back....priceless.

Question

NB: the BBC link that Beaver Eager refers to is for an audio cassette. Sadly, the video version does not appear to be available at present.

"One thing i've been confused about...where does a long haul flight start and a short haul flight end ?"

"Ahh yes...Amsterdam!"

"Right...good.."

Seat32F,

That's because we were all discussing the original RADIO version of the programme - which, according to informed sources at the BBC, is not scheduled for VIDEO release.

Perhaps we can christen this type of 'going off at half cock' error 'small dog syndrome'?!

I was fortunate enough to capture this fantastic program on video, so if anybody wants to borrow it, I don't mind sending it on the rounds. Email me with an address if you're interested.

V. funny.
