    These bridge pictures are well executed. Not that I'm trying to influence my accreditation results or anything. Oh no ..... not me. Did I mention that I thought you are the greatest ........ and very handsome, not to mention intelligent and a man with the utmost integrity. The 10% wage rise made my eyes water a bit but I'm lying down now. I felt a distinct contraction in my wallet there for a moment. ( it's a Scottish thing )
    When exactly are you due to leave Gormo?
    Cheers
    Toto

    I'm looking into an empty bottle. Not a good sign. The men in the little white coats are banging at the door. :avatar: They're coming to get me. You'd better be quick.
    Oh yeah ....... tell jock ( the platform 1 jet pilot ) to put a new set of spark plugs in the engine. He is not to argue ......... It was a bit stuttery on my last outing.
    The bar has been stocked up. We have removed all international brands and replaced with the following,
    Blended kangaroo gonad juice.Koala nipples ( salted )Snake eye Pate.Tossed EMU'S ofal saladMedley of mozzyorella doo doo's
    alternatively ..... toast and cheese but I know you guys don't like anything outlandish.
    Cheers

    Thanks Gents,

    Yes it seems that Toto has been reading Crocodile Dundee`s tips on Australian cuisine.....:scratchchin:.

    Toto.....Crocodile Dundee is a fictional character.

    As for changing the spark plugs in a jet engine....:facepalm:.....Oh dear.

    I see I`m going to have to have a long talk to Toto about real life in Australia and also about the differences between internal combustion engines and jet engines.........Oh boy...:facepalm:

    Well lads ......I hope to have him sorted out shortly.....just bear with me for the moment.

    The beer is in the fridge.
    Who would have guessed this four years ago. Absolutely mental. The ( good ) power of the Internet. The platform 1 jet was overhauled last year. I upgraded from 3 citroen CV 2 engines to 3 Fiat 500 engines ...... only needs a strong wind and a 5 mile runway to get it air Bourne.
    Looking forward to the cracks. Have a safe journey

    OK Gary,

    Please clean the track before you leave.......:avatar::avatar::avatar::avatar:

    Speaking of leaving........we`re not leaving on time. The BA fiasco has impacted us and our flight has been cancelled. We have been re-booked for the next day.......so far.??????

    I won`t be happy till I get on that plane!!!

    I feel for you both Gormo. What a start to an already long and tiring journey. I hope these clowns get their act together and things go as planned from here on in.

    Thanks Toto,

    Yes I guess we were lucky with our timing. If we were travelling earlier we could have been stuck, possibly at Heathrow, with luggage in limbo somewhere.

    Once I found our flight for today was cancelled, I got onto our travel agent ( Flight Centre ). They have an emergency assistance help line. They also have better access to the system than we do.

    The young guy there found that he could re-schedule us on exactly the same flight, one day later. I asked him if he thought that was a sound plan and he replied that it was best to get in early. So that`s what we did and we fly one day later.

    It just means our time in Edinburgh is one day short, so we`ll have to get cracking once we get there.!!.......otherwise everything else is just the same thank goodness!!!.

    Thanks Kimbo,

    Yes a stressful couple of days, but all is good now, so far, and we have been only slightly inconvenienced compared to some people in other parts of the world. We were fortunate our departure was not right in the middle of the melt down, but rather at the back end when remedial action was already underway. A young man named Dale, at Flight Centre, was instrumental in turning rubbish into Gold for us......Thanks Dale...:thumbs:

    So I`ll see you guys on line sometime in the near future. I`m not sure of my posting capabilities whilst away, but if I can, I will do some updates.
