Speaking to the CRO (or MCO as the title now is...)

We'll have....

  • BBC
  • ITV
  • Local Paper x2
  • Local Radio (they're bigger than we are)
  • BFBS Radio 1
  • BFBS TV
  • Station Photog
  • Us and our microphone!!

Gonna be a media frenzy and there will be a massive amount of coverage regionally, but with the BBC, more likely nationally on the Comic Relief program! They have already been in touch with me about covering it with looking to putting it on tomorrows program!

So c'mon! get ya wallets out! It's happening tomorrow!!!! (click on me signature)
 
Sounds good, now i just have to figure out how to avoid all the media so i dont appear on the news!!!

I lied to my boss to get the day off!!!! :PDT_Xtremez_08:
 
wow mono i'm very impressed, if i see you i'm crating you from LR!!!!
 
If i get spotted and get the sack as well, we will need all the help we can get! LOL!

:PDT_Xtremez_15:
 
I'll just comb some hair down from the brow... no-one will see me face then!
 
Right, been on the blower to BFBS Radio 1, BFBS Radio 2 and BFBS Radio in Northern Ireland.....

They're all getting a slice of the pie and by the sounds of it, I'll be doing 3 Radio interviews by phone!

Keep your ears peeled Shouty!

And it means this lass now has my mobile number ::D:

So, that'll be a night in the doghouse for me when Mrs_M reads it, so hopefully this will all be worth it for a good cause!

(add the missus getting sacked and a months wages on slabs! Ohhh and something about pulling a Tornado!)
 
Managed to fire up the scanner for something that arrived today.....

Come on goaters. Thanks to all who have sponsored already but i thought the response would have been better than what we had! Please please please help us reach our target!

:PDT_Xtremez_19:
 
Well it's done!

Not at home, but I'll post some pics when I get in (and I'll get the ones off the photogs)

Pulled it 300 meters! With a 4 ft Red Nose sat on the pitot tube! :PDT_Xtremez_30:

Not too late to donate though.... Click the link in my sig............
 
So are we going to have to endure yer 'boat race' on the TV tonight then Mono? :PDT_Xtremez_30:
 
Well the BBC were there!!! (think I counted 4 cameras and 3 video cameras....)

Not to mention the BBC guy forgot his tripod. Leaving it in the middle of a taxiway wasn't the brightest thing to do!!!

Anyways, I caught a snap of the jet on me phone...... But the Photogs have got loads of better pictures.

Ever so slightly Off Topic but Davina has just been on shouting "A big round of applause to Oracle!!!!" as per Oracle HR system as per JPA!!!! Maybe someone should quickly nip round to Television Centre and tell her the truth?!?!?

I'd love to nip round to see Davina, but I don't think JPA would be the reason!!! :PDT_Xtremez_14:

Oracle is what JPA was based on... another example of an "off the shelf" package that has had to be engineered to the forces.... hence how pap it is....

Still, have you donated??? Head over to www.myrednoseday.com/TornadoPull and make some magic happen for someone more needy.
