AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAArgh!

Sorry just had to get that out of my system. I have always believed the Int Branch of the RAF is sort of a poor mans masonic lodge. Full of people who don't actually admit to being one but have a funny handshake and talk about the sort of subjects that would make a train spotter fall into a deep coma. Now I am not trying to denigrate your subject (heavens no! look at my trade, glass houses, stones etc) but please, please, please get a life. Oh and try posts in Washington, Texas, Philadelphia and several other stateside posts and we can tell people where we are, good eh! Oh I know, its your forum, nothing to do with me, but hey not everything is secret. Beadwindow!

I'm glad that everyone else felt they had to answer this nonsense................I quite frankly couldn't be bothered when I read it last night! Generally I have always got on well with most of the stackers I've worked with and alongside over the last 15 years, and having read some of your threads elsewhere Stax, I've found them to be well balanced and valid to the topic. However, on this one you have sold yourself well short and indeed the reputation of your tradesmen as a whole.

You are the weakest link, goodbye!!!!!!!!

It may well be, but you are still not invited.

This is my branch and I rule it via a careful balance of Powerpoint & surgical F102 action. As your shelves issue neither of those combat enablers I suggest you close early and carry your large distended belly off to your crew bar where you can impress the youngsters, those like you, without talent, education, ambition and a clue as to what goes on behind the 'big closed door' with witty tales of clothing stores banter...

Fellow Spooks...how I can hardly wait for his reply...but then again it is probably on order and will take 3 months to arrive and, if not collected within 20 mins, will be sent back to wherever they get the stuff from in the first place... :cool:
 
You go girl (and boy) friends!

Was told to come and look here by the Cat but I couldn't remember who you were when I registered so couldn't credit you with it I'm afraid! Instead I will reserve a copy of the sun for you at lunch this week, as it takes you 30 mins to wade through your lard arse plate and get downstairs after all the even lower than me student scum have stolen the good papers.

Currently living the dream at MTDW (but still write JSPI in the tick list at lunch as a minor act of defiance, that and I normally can't remember what the bloody acronym is at the time), and have come through unscathed from the hump shunting yard experience..... :D

I bet you were the one that actually understood and enjoyed Geodesy lectures!

You give spotters a bad name!

Is that the Geodesy Lectures, 1885? Very interesting but I did disagree with some of his points.

Welcome Me, forgot me already have you?

In response to your feeble single seat banter, it was kind of you to say you actually noticed my fine example of an a***, which is clearly not effected by the size of my dinner plate!!! (And for the record your's isn't bad either!!!)

Nice of you to join your fellow brethren on this very apt thread. Can we pse have some topical insights from the JSPI team...............I understand your looking at airfields this week.................hmmmm, making you home sick is it all those Runway Caravans and Met squares???
 
I live for met squares, wash your mouth out!

My proudest moment to date whilst at JSPI: I was standing next to one of the DS who was sitting at his desk and we were discussing the finer points of WEFT (of which there are many, clearly). It was an hour later that I discovered that I had totally and utterly failed to notice that he wasn't wearing any trousers. My eyes are weapons, honestly, they really are.....
 
Trouserless DS!!??!!

Trouserless DS!!??!!

Aaah, the old 'not wearing any trousers in front of your students routine', an old favourite, only ever executed correctly if you have legs like sticks that are as white as snow and covered in a fine hair like substance akin to the natural state of the Yeti.

Odly, and really quite unfairly, I now have images of the current JSPI DS 'various' in nothing but their shreddies................................thanks Me! an image you should have kept for yourself.

Knowing who is currently there, I feel for you, I really do.
How was your away day anyway?
Did you enjoy your visit to Mar-ham Field? (Clearly you got to see a real fast jet...............and the GRs!!!) Did you employ WEFT during your visit today?
 
Sadly there was no WEFTing to be done today, but we were very excited about the opportunity to discover if there were PAPIs or VASIs as we couldn't see them on the imagery we had on Monday. To relieve the undoubted tension that's building, they were PAPIs.

Also took the opportunity to visit the crumbly old fart who is Squinto 39 so a good day all in all!

SirSalty, don't worry fella we are all quite sane really.
It's just our way, there is no harm in it, it's just the natural fallout for a branch spending most of their natural life in windowless, forced air, low light environments that are generally several metres underground in encased concrete.

Sh*t - was it you I bumped into on that dark morning before I had the chance to work on the makeup and straighteners - I apologise!!! Normally in the dark, without windows musty hovels we live in no-one gets to see our faces in daylight (be honoured - to see a live one is an honour in some (not very interesting) circles). Give us a break though - space cadets??? we're not that gullible!! but that big cheese thingy in the sky looks like fun!

Okay then, which one of you underground dwellers is Hazel? I have worked out the General, Fiver and Bigwig.

We had an IntO in Basrah, every fooker wanted to kill him, just ask Standards!!
 
oh - give me dates (not the fruit prune like things)...in basrah....we like a bit of witch hunting in our world (apparently!) - if anything it will give the cat of shadows some new ammo!

oooohhh its a classic Hump Shunting Yard!
;)
 
I must say to the JSPI lot!
The latest course took the 'targeting a oil refinery' visit a bit far ...

The Hemel Hempstead visit used to be fun! Now look what you’ve done!
Future courses will have to go to Hull again! :(

How to part with information without actually giving his (or that could be her) name away! Was a great chap with red hair (bit Tim, nice but dim) and a nice young lady (bore da Ma'am, Nadolig Llawen) and then there was the professors son whose father wrote a very good book about lots of aircraft.........well it was none of these. You fill in the blank or blanks if you are SO intelligent :D

Hope this helps.

Standards!

PS I would have followed this man (or woman) to war, but only so I could roll a Mk9 fragmentation grenade into his sleeping bag! With him (or could that be her) inside it.
 
Magnum PI, I bow down and salute you! What a fine example, shame the picture wasn't that good in the exam. :( And Cat, you're right. I think perhaps my time would have been spent better revising given the bloody exam we had this morning! Only 1 more day to go, then we're ffffffffffffrrrrrrrrrrrrrreeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! Until next year that is.
