Clacker. Well its not painted yet. Seems that one moment the decision to paint is made, then its put on hold again and yet another meeting takes place. Lets hope it does happen though, will suit us Islanders.

Is anyone able to advise me as to the state of play with the Brunei's international cargo facility?
Are there any plans to develop it properly, or shall it just muddle on?

The Titanic foundered because there weren't enough engineers in the crew and no serious attempt was made at damage control.
I prefer the HMS Nottingham simile where, instead of abandoning ship, the crew responded to the real emergency, plugged up the holes and kept the ship afloat. Whether she sails again depends on decisions taken at the highest levels of the MOD, but if she doesn't put to sea again it will be no fault of Nottingham's Marine Engineering Department. (BTW, Nice one Craig. Damned well done!)
Keep pumping chaps, keep pumping!

King Rat???? I'm a bloody sheep for Chr***'s sake! How big are the moggies where you're at then? 
The Vietnamese contract wound down slowly until all that was left was the 767 'C' Checks. Not much money in that, without the support contract. We did what we were engaged to do - teach the Vietnamese guys how to do it themselves and we succeeded.
Its very frustrating when the finger is pointed at us as a shower of w*nkers by the ticket sellers and beanies, but thats how it goes for engineers, I suppose. After all this time I'm used to it. Doctor Foster has set us to work designing a new cabin decor for the A319s that arrive next August, so now we're fashion designers - there's no-one else with the bottle to take it on. I think I might get to like this guy...

BLACKSHEEP, hi there. I always thought you were a conehead, how did you get yourself into the Versace/Dior/Yves St Laurent League?
It sounds more and more like your organization is modelled on The House That Jack Built, you know the one where the cat ate the rat? As you supposed, the moggies down here are HUGE! Anyway, all the best, see you sometime in lalaland.

Looks like a few more pilots are about to leave the sinking ship.
The new CEO has started off well.
By not putting the current Rishworth Pilots on a RBA contract he has been able to save money. Not in the way he probably was intending though, as I am sure most will leave now.
And them what will cost them more.
Good luck to them.
