The un-phonetic alphabet is brilliant.
I used to work with someone who would only use the animal phonetic alphabet, even thinking about it still makes me laugh.

If you can remember it, it needs reciting, here and now. I'm guessing - because it is a word steeped in comedy - the letter "C" was denoted by "chicken"?

I'm pretty certain it was meant to be Cat but he would put in any animal that started with the correct letter.

I'm trying to find the poster we printed out for it but google is letting me down. frown

I like the way your colleagues mind worked; firmly entrenched in a very narrow line of thought and relentlessly ploughing-on down the furrow regardless of convention.

Deployed to KSA = going out to work in Saudi.

Where can I buy polo shirts - an item found in every clothes shop everywhere - because I'm deploying for 'reasons'.

So walty!!

Something that has made my Walt-meter tingle in the past....

Those who come out of the woodwork when aeroplane stuff happens - bringing with them tail numbers, 'fight manifest', 'fuselage', 'empennage' and other tosh.

The vast majority won't be flight crew etc

I don't know why, it just makes the Walt alarm chirp.

Eta: Over and Out, Plumbs, Quickie, Yvonne.

Etaa: should I have Over and Outed at the end of my eta'd Over and Out??

Not at all. My son works on the railways and wears one of these when it's a hot day - cuts down on one layer of clothing. He wears an orange one though, as yellow isn't used on railway his-vis.

I help with am annually deployed to a local marathon major sporting event, driving the course car (sometimes a 4x4 but no flashing lights, snorkel, big wheels etc seeing as it’s round the city centre and we get whatever Avis feel like providing) and driving vans piloting logistics transportation equipment to get kit out on the course.

Most of us wear the regulation equipment (ie whatever we could find when we got up at stupid o’clock - T shirt, jeans, trainers) and carry the necessary vital equipment (keys and mobile) and are all very laid back about it but there’s one bloke who I originally assumed had some more important job (medical officer or something) but turns out he doesn’t, and spends all weekend wearing a back pack contraption on his front (says it gives him back ache when it’s on his back) that has first aid kit, scissors, pens, knife, leatherman, all the crap and wears all the HiVi he can manage.

I think it’s a reasonable assumption that he’s less likely to have a wife/girlfriend than the rest of us given that he’s a boring overweight twonk!

Gives us a laugh whenever he walks in, so he does have some purpose!

Rodger.
Group of us in TVRs had 2-way radios on a trip to the Le Mans 24hr one year. Rouen was always a bd - someone always got lost - and this particular year the matter was made even more challenging by the sort of roadworks and diversions only the French could conceive.

The one time we actually needed the radio, the failed us - we wanted to check the way the lead car had gone (signage was vague and he had satnav) - as the gap between the cars grew to the point we lost signal. This was the last communication:

Me: "Pork Sword calling Danny Boy! Come in. Over!"

Lead car: <noise of a TVR Tuscan Speed Six accelerating fiercely> <crackling> "Cock orifice! Cock orifice!" <more crackling>

As per my earlier post on this thread; the airport and aviation world has its very own special place for TLAs and their ilk.
