Question Long-Haul Pilot is TV Survivor

Apparently a long-haul pilot from Northhamptonshire called Andy will be one of the contestants on TVs new reality show called Survivor. He gets to take the next 6 weeks off, battling it out on an Island in the South China sea.

Who does he work for and where do I send the CV.

Sorry to disappoint you but competition has already taken place, on island off coast of Borneo, called Pulau Tiga. Contestants slummed it whilst production crew in luxury resort about 1/2 mile away.

Where do you guys live !!!! The first Survivor was filmed on an Island of Malayasia, the second show, just finished, was shot in outback Australia. The next show to hit was shot in Africa. No heavy metal drivers in the first two shows !!

In the US yes but this is in the UK.
The concept was an English one. The same guy who came up with the Big Breakfast.

Well, he'll win for sure!

1. After all, if he can eat any kind of airline food, he'll find lots to eat on an island...worms, grubs and maggots are a step up!

2. He has lots of "reserves" from being on his rear end for 16 hours at a time...

3. He'll be able to talk himself out of any situation...all the practice he's had chatting up the cookie chuckers!

4. Etc...any more? Anyone?

Thumbs up

As a fellow BHXer, he is not as described by OC41. He was apparently spotted in the Compost Centre last week so we're figuring that he didn't win!

So OC41

Where exactly do you get your info from. I know the guy in question, as well as a large number of folk at BAR BHX, and as a few people have already said, he doesn't appear to fit your description, so do tell.

From the guy in question, thanks to overstress, Wing Commander Fowler, and airforcenone, Andy (41) from Northamptonshire would love to buy you a beer!
