I’m one of those lucky few who’ve done underwater escape training (in my case from helicopters).
It’s fking terrifying, every time, even the tenth+ time.
That horror gives me the fear.
Me too, the closest to that I can imagine, is when I was canyoning in the Brecon Beacons and we had to do a 10+ metre jump into an ice cold "plunge pool", having to drill repeatedly in a simulated helicopter crash that takes some stones. Everyone knows that helos don't fly, they frighten the ground away from them wink

You want to rephrase that?
Perhaps you meant flight attendants, (although I’m sure that that’s a sweeping generalisation, or urban myth), and as a heterosexual ex trucker, why truckers? rolleyes
Airline pilot is the ultimate white collar ‘trucking’ job. Leave the beard and kids at home and stop overnight in locations with a suspiciously anomalous supply of male entertainment all wrapped in a facade of excessive manliness.

You've obviously never watched a flight crew walking through an airport, with the pilot and first officer competing for the "who's got the campest walk" trophy.
You’re right Halmyre, I’ve probably seen dozens of pilots and first officers walking through airports, but not taken much notice of them, if anything registered at all, it was just, oh there goes a flight crew.
I still don’t get the intimation, real or kidding, that the trucking industry attracts homosexuals, as there will be a bunch of hairy ar*ed truckers at any truck stop overnight.
I spent years pushing 44 ton artics around Europe, sitting in lounges of cross Channel ferries drinking with other truckers, parked overnight in Routiers across France, knocking back wine with French, Belgian, Spanish, Polish and German truckers and I never saw one guy looking hungrily at another guy.

Dead prostitutes though, that was where the real fun was?

Hmmm? So all that gay porn we used to clear from near a layby on the A30 when the CO had one of his "bee in his bonnet" litterpicks was a figment of my imagination then? 'Shaving Ryans Privates' dvd covers, but no disc to be seen, and any number of print mags (because it was still the 90's back then). Or am I making this st up to promulgate a tired, lazy stereotype..?

Hmmm... scratchchin Methinks the Frank doth protest too much...

It’s beginning to feel a bit like the 1990’s in here now wink.

Notwithstanding, I’m not completely convinced that the bongo content of one lay-by is representative of the sexuality of an entire industry.

I’d like something more statistically valid. Perhaps the next lay-by was jammed packed with hetero porn, the next one with water sports etc. The A30 could have been a sort of linear you porn of its day.

Personally I couldn’t care less if the entire trucking industry rode round dressed like the village people, listening to Barbara Streisand with a plastic cock clamped to the steering wheel as one handed steering aid so long as my Frey Bentos gets to the Spar on time

I've no idea about the trucking industry but it's the taxi industry that really attracts gay men.

All that cruising around...

Off topic- any man who tows a wheeled suitcase walks in a stereotypically gay manner.
You can't help it. It's just a fact. It makes you walk with one side slightly forward and that translates into a gay gait.




As for pushing 44 ton artics, Frank is a big fan of any cool expression.

You’re saying that, as a fact, wheeled baggage gives you a gay gait?!

No. It just accentuates the one you've already got.

Not only is he saying that, but he's saying it in such a way as to suggest he has spent a considerable amount of time examining it to come up with that conclusion wink

I've spent nearly 17 years working in the airports and I've never studied that closely

The ridiculous hat doesn't help. Is wearing the hat in the pilots' terms and conditions?
