Old School Sayings ...

Not so much blue sky thinking as to more of a red sunset decision (time to go home and forget about it!!):PDT_Xtremez_29:
 
Sorry if this has already been posted. But when referring to old sweats, I always liked the phrase, "He was in the RAF when Gladiator was still a rank, let alone an aircraft"
 
Inability :PDT_Xtremez_19: .....
A little off topic but that comment made me remember this, well my version of it lolMany moons ago a young and very naive mech was sent to stores to demand some a/c spares, upon his return he was asked if the bits were demanded and when should they get here, he quickly replied, "there all demanded". All good we thought, then asked when they would get here he replied "i dont know there coming from inability..." You what we thought and asked him to repeat himself, "there coming from inablility, thats somewhere near Birmingham".... classicThis was the same person who thought the M25 was also around Birmingham. I aint going to mention any names as the inbred cornish devient still kicks around here ^^.
 
"There's no I in team"
There's a U in C**t though sir"

Favour becomes a job round here

RAF Checkin whilst the rest dig in

Clansman was his rank not a bloody radio.

Army one.

War without Cavalry is just an ungentlemanly brawl
 
This one was well circulated when I was a sprog:
He's been in since Pontius was a pilot. . . . . .
 
Tea - NATO
Tea - Julie Andrews -ie, White, None (You need to watch the Sound of Music)

"Airman, get your haircut - no, on 2nd thoughts, get two haircuts as one won't be enough !!"

"The first time I was in Port Stanley we had to speak Spanish"

FOFAD - F*kk Off, Fire At Donington was the standard Clothing Store response around 82/83 after all the RAF's uniforms went up in a big fire.

One for the F3 Fairies - F700 states "No plots on radar screen", action taken - "LRU4 sent to Bay to have plot store recharged"
 
Tea Julie Andrews - white 'nun'
Tea Whoopy Goldberg - Black 'nun'
Tea Heather Mills - white one
Tea Dolly Parton - white two
 
To be shouted by two knnowing persons across the hangar....

"I said Captain"
"He said, what?"
"I said Captain"
"He said, what?"
"I said Captain"
"He said, Fcuk off, you red nosed cnut, ooooooh."
 
said to an unsuspecting LAC in the JR's mess at Cott "your rank tabs are upside down" and foolishly said airman checked.

"Whats the 20th letter of the alphabet"
"T"
"white, 2, cheers!"

"do you know what this is?"
"no"
"smallest violin in the world, now man the fcuk up"
 
Before training JO thinks it necessary to inform RAF Regt NCO of a pre-existing 'injury', NCO asks for a med chit, JO doesn't have one, the NCO's reply made me crease up ...

"No chitty, no pity ..."

DIs, Bridgnorth, 1960:

"Wot are yew doin' there, lad? Flappin' abaht like a French Letter wavin' in the breeze!"

"I'll tear yore arm off an' 'it yew over the 'ead wiv the SOGGY END!"

"The MO's put yew on light duties, 'as 'e? Oh dear! WELL GET POLISHIN' THE ****IN' FLOOR!"

[Having sent ginger-haired recruit back to the billet when he couldn't swing his arms on time when marching, on our arrival back]
"Send that ginger fing ter me!" [Said "ginger thing" spent all evening cleaning and re-cleaning the bogs] :PDT_Xtremez_41:
 
On arrival to the flight, fresh out of training LAC :

Old sweat: Alright mate how you doing?

New LAC replies: I'm not here to make friends - I'm here to make a difference :PDT_Xtremez_42:



Sad to say he wasn't joking.......
