Thank God it did'nt have the prop at the front, as it went into the crowd.
A couple of chocks would'nt have gone amiss either.
However, we can't undo whats already been done.
At least you tried batesey, you obviously could'nt do more than that.

For those of you who have to try and keep the misses happy, maybe she would allow you to have one of these.

'GOD SAVE THE QUEEN'........................ without breaking the rules !!!!
Nelson: "Order the signal, Hardy."
Hardy: "Aye, aye sir."
Nelson: "Hold on, that's not what I dictated to Flags. What's the meaning of this?"
Hardy: "Sorry sir?"
Nelson (reading aloud): " England expects every person to do his or her duty, regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, religious persuasion or disability.''
What gobbledygook is this?"Hardy: "Admiralty policy, I'm afraid, sir. We're an equal opportunities employer now.
We had the devil's own job getting ' England ' past the censors, lest it be considered racist."Nelson: "Gadzooks, Hardy. Hand me my pipe and tobacco."
Hardy: "Sorry sir. All naval vessels have now been designated smoke-free working environments."
Nelson: "In that case, break open the rum ration. Let us splice the main brace to steel the men before battle."
Hardy: "The rum ration has been abolished, Admiral. Its part of the Government's policy on binge drinking."
Nelson: "Good heavens, Hardy. I suppose we'd better get on with it........ full speed ahead."
Hardy: "I think you'll find that there's a 4 knot speed limit in this stretch of water."
Nelson: "Damn it man! We are on the eve of the greatest sea battle in history. We must advance with all dispatch. Report from the crow's nest, please."
Hardy: "That won't be possible, sir."
Nelson: "What?"
Hardy: "Health and Safety have closed the crow's nest, sir. No harness. And they said that rope ladders don't meet regulations.
They won't let anyone up there until a proper scaffolding can be erected."Nelson: "Then get me the ship's carpenter without delay, Hardy."
Hardy: "He's busy knocking up a wheelchair access to the fo'c'sle, Admiral."
Nelson: "Wheelchair access? I've never heard anything so absurd."
Hardy: "Health and safety again, sir. We have to provide a barrier-free environment for the differently abled."
Nelson: "Differently abled? I've only one arm and one eye and I refuse even to hear mention of the word. I didn't rise to the rank of admiral by playing the disability card."
Hardy: "Actually, sir, you did. The Royal Navy is under represented in the areas of visual impairment and limb deficiency."
Nelson: "Whatever next? Give me full sail. The salt spray beckons."
Hardy: "A couple of problems there too, sir. Health and safety won't let the crew up the rigging without hard hats.
And they don't want anyone breathing in too much salt - haven't you seen the adverts?"Nelson: "I've never heard such infamy. Break out the cannon and tell the men to stand by to engage the enemy."
Hardy: "The men are a bit worried about shooting at anyone, Admiral."
Nelson: "What? This is mutiny!"
Hardy: "It's not that, sir. It's just that they're afraid of being charged with murder if they actually kill anyone.
There's a couple of legal-aid lawyers on board, watching everyone like hawks."Nelson: "Then how are we to sink the Frenchies and the Spanish?"
Hardy: "Actually, sir, we're not."
Nelson: "We're not?"
Hardy: "No, sir. The French and the Spanish are our European partners now. According to the Common Fisheries Policy, we shouldn't even be in this stretch of water.
We could get hit with a claim for compensation."Nelson: "But you must hate a Frenchman as you hate the devil."
Hardy: "I wouldn't let the ship's diversity co-ordinator hear you saying that, sir. You'll be up on disciplinary report."
Nelson: "You must consider every man an enemy, who speaks ill of your King."
Hardy: "Not any more, sir. We must be inclusive in this multicultural age. Now put on your Kevlar vest; it's the rules. It could save your life."
Nelson: "Don't tell me - health and safety. Whatever happened to rum, sodomy and the lash?"
Hardy: "As I explained, sir, rum is off the menu! And there's a ban on corporal punishment."
Nelson: "What about sodomy?"
Hardy: "I believe that is now legal, sir."
Nelson: "In that case ....kiss me, Hardy." :bad computer:

A husband and wife go to a counsellor after 15 years of marriage. The counsellor asks them what the problem is, and the wife goes into a tirade listing every problem they have ever had in the 15 years they've been married. She goes on and on and on.
Finally, the counsellor gets up, goes around the desk, embraces the woman, kisses her passionately, rips off her clothes and makes mad passionate love to her. Needless to say, the woman shuts up and sits quietly with a very satisfied daze.
The counsellor turns to the husband and says, "This is what your wife needs at least three times a week. Can you do that?"
The husband thinks for a moment and replies, "Well, I can get her here on Monday and Wednesday, but Fridays I go flying."

I did a return trip Syd to Melb It's well worth doing your sums first, co's this is how it went
Attendant: Welcome aboard XXXXXX Airways, sir. May I see your ticket?

Sure.
Attendant: You're in seat 12B. That will be $5, please!
What for?
Attendant: For telling you where to sit.
But I already knew where to sit, and had to pay to do so when I booked online.
Attendant: Nevertheless, we are now charging a seat locator fee of $5. It's the airline's new policy.
That's the craziest thing I ever heard. I won't pay it.

Attendant: Sir, do you want a seat on this flight, or not:question:
Yes, yes. All right, I'll pay. But the airline is going to hear about this.
Attendant: Thank you. My goodness, your carry-on bag looks rather heavy. Would you like me to stow it in the overhead compartment for you?
That would be nice of you, thanks. :thumb_up:
Attendant: No problem. Up we go, and done! That will be $10, please.
What?
Attendant: The airline now charges a $10 carry-on assistance fee.
This is extortion. I won't stand for it.
Attendant: Actually, you're right, you can't stand. You need to sit, and fasten your seat belt. We're about to push back from the gate. But, first I need that $10.
No way! :no no:
Attendant: Sir, if you don't comply, I will be forced to call the air marshal. And you really don't want me to do that.
Why not? Is he going to shoot me?
Attendant: No, but there's a $50 air-marshal hailing fee.
Oh, all right, here your bloody 10 bucks. I really can't believe this.
Attendant: Thank you for your cooperation, sir. Is there anything else I can do for you?
Yes. It's stuffy in here, and my overhead fan doesn't seem to work. Can you fix it?
Attendant: Your overhead fan is not broken, sir. Just insert two 50cent coins into the overhead coin slot for the first five minutes.
The airline is charging me for cabin air?
Attendant: Of course not, sir. Stagnant cabin air is provided free of charge. It's the circulating air that costs 2 X 50 cents.
I don't have any 50cent coins. Can you give me change of $2?
Attendant: Certainly, sir! Here you go!
But you've given me only three 50cent coins for my $2.
Attendant: Yes, there's a change-making fee of 50 cents.
For cryin' out loud. All I have left is a lousy 50cents left. What the heck can I do with this? :bad computer:
Attendant: Hang onto it sir. You might need it'll need it later for the toilet.



Go Qantas!

I did a return trip Syd to Melb with them a month ago and found some of the staff very third rate:sad:. In fairness though, they all seem to have a mutitude of tasks to perform:construction:
:bad computer:, initial check-in, check passengers on, check the tyres and clean the windscreen etc;It's well worth doing the numbers though.
I've just booked to go the Melb for Christmas and by the time you've added the Tiger seat selection fee:angry:(thats a new one), credit card convenience fee, paid to upgrade the baggage allowance (per sector) to whats allowed by Qantas, plus allowing for my usual sandwich and a glass of red, there was nothing in it pricewise.
So i've booked with Qantas
For anyone with a bit of an ailment, its also a long walk to gate 58 at Sydney, and when you arrive in Melbourne its also another fair walk as they park well away from the main terminal.

As Crescent would have realised by now, some of us, but not all of us, are honest about our age.That's it! cause all us young blokes are...mmm...still green, nuts, I s'pose!
)Some nuts (pistasio's for example), tend to have a green tinge), but the the best nuts tend to have have a couple of wrinkles
......mmm....Its a bit a bit like buying oats.
If you want good quality oats, you have to pay a fair price.
However, if you are prepared to accept oats that have already been through the horse, even if they're greener, they come a bit cheaper.
Sorry Tomo, no disrespect intended mate, I could'nt resist the temptation of what came into my wicked mind;)

Just up the road from me, NW Sydney Decca, where the people are just soooooooo friendly.Welcome to the forums Crescent.Where is Kellyville Ridge please?Regards, Decca.

CresentTell the Misses you need to get on this site to advance one's knowledge base, and communicate with a couple of nuts in the process.

In fact, if you put her on line, the boys and girls here will convince her that it's the only wise thing to do, and she might even pay for your flying

Me too, and I always thought of you as a young bloke:rilla:(like me) posssibly from the same neck of the woods:thumb_up:." although I was brought up in an area where trolley buses ran and can't remember anyone being hit by one of them.However, I had the advantage of bits of cornflake packets fixed to my bicycle forks with clothes-pegs, which flapped in the spokes to make it sound like a motorbike, so they knew where I was



Could it possibly have been the 630 trolley bus from Croydon to Mitcham by any chance:question:

Welcome studentbiggles and congratulations on taking your first steps to fulfil a dream.
I bet you laid in bed going over, and over your first flight. I think we all did.
If anyone asks whether you're the Riverland Girl? DENY IT IMMEDIATELY!
If you read the Never Ending Story thread, you'd soon find out why this make-believe character is so popular.
It's good fun, and the supposed-to-be grown up boys get a bit carried away sometimes.
Take care, and every good wish for your future training.

A flier checked into a hotel in Narromine while there for Natfly, and was feeling a bit lonely.
He thought of one of those girls you sometimes see advertised in phone booths when you're calling for a cab.
He popped into a phone booth on the Mitchel Highway, near the hotel and found an ad for a girl calling herself Erogonique, a lovely girl, bending over in the photo. She had all the right curves in all the right places, beautiful long wavy hair, long graceful legs...... well, you get the picture! He copied the phone number and returned to his hotel.
When back in the room he figures, what the hell, give her a call.
'Hello,' the woman says.:heart:
God, she sounded sexy.


'Hi, I hear you give a great massage and I'd like you to come to my room and give me one..... No, wait, I should be straight with you. I'm in town all alone and what I really want is sex. I want it hard, I want it hot, and I want it now. Bring implements, toys, rubber, leather, whips, everything you've got in your bag of tricks. Tie me up, cover me in chocolate syrup and whipped cream, anything you want! Now, how does that sound:question:'
She says, 'That sounds fantastic, but you need to press 1 for an outside line.'



It took three hours for him to get the courage to Checkout next morning.

The doctor said, 'Joe, the good news is I can cure your constant headaches. The bad news is that it will require castration.
You have a very rare condition, which causes your testicles to press on your spine and the pressure creates one hell of a headache. The only way to relieve the pressure is to remove the testicles.'
Joe was shocked and depressed. He wondered if he had anything to live for. He had no choice but to go under the knife. When he left the hospital, he was without a headache for the first time in 20 years, but he felt like he was missing an important part of himself. As he walked down the street, he realized that he felt like a different person. He could make a new beginning and live a new life.
He saw a men's clothing store and thought, 'That's what I need.. A new suit.'
He entered the shop and told the salesman, 'I'd like a new suit.'
The elderly tailor eye d him briefly and said, 'Let's see... size 44 long.'
Joe laughed, 'That's right, how did you know?'
'Been in the business 60 years!' the tailor said.
Joe tried on the suit and it fit perfectly.
As Joe admired himself in the mirror, the salesman asked, 'How about a new shirt?'
Joe thought for a moment and then said, 'Sure.'
The salesman eyed Joe and said, 'Let's see, 34 sleeves and 16-1/2 neck.'
Joe was surprised, 'That's right, how did you know?'
'Been in the business 60 years.'
Joe tried on the shirt and it fit perfectly.
Joe walked comfortably around the shop and the salesman asked, 'How about some new underwear?'
Joe thought for a moment and said, 'Sure.'
The salesman said, 'Let's see... size 36.
Joe laughed, 'Ah ha! I got you!I've worn a size 34 since I was 18 years old.'
The salesman shook his head, 'You can't wear a size 34. A size 34 would press your testicles up against the base of your spine and give you one hell of a headache.'
New suit - $400
New shirt - $36
New underwear - $6
Second Opinion - PRICELESS (but recommended).

An Aussie Drover appeared before St. Peter at the Pearly Gates.
"Have you ever done anything of particular merit Bluey?" St. Peter asked.
"Geez! Well, I can think of one thing," the drover said.
"On a trip out the back of Swan Hill, I came upon a gang of bikies who were threatening a young woman.
I directed them to leave her alone, but they wouldn't listen.
So, I approached the largest and most heavily tattooed bikie and smacked him in the ear, kicked his bike over, ripped out his ear ring, and threw it on the ground.
"I yelled real loud, 'Now f---ing back off!! or I'll kick the crap out of all of you!'"
St. Peter was impressed, "When did this happen?"
"Just a couple minutes ago mate, i've only just arrived"

He keeps asking whether i've written my Will, showing him any favours since.:ah_oh: can't thing why.
I'm the very proud owner of a Superfly, fibreglass fuse trainer, which I bought out from the UK 32yrs ago. Unfortunately I cart-wheeled it across a paddock into an unsuspecting Freesian cow who was due to give birth, and 30yrs later I have still only managed to re-cover half of the wing.
If you have a spare wing and a better driver, i'd be very grateful.
