Many a true word spoken in jest!

Someone very knowledgeable once said to me, that we have 2 ears and 1 mouth and consequently, should do twice as much listening, as we do talking, to stay out of trouble.

I think that might have been wise information;)

Correction to add -you need to improve your spelling it's proposition.

I'm with BigPete, the DC3 flight is a great idea.

My sweetheat treated us to a champagne flight over Sydney just on dusk, a few years ago, and it was a fantastic evening.:thumb_up::thumb_up::thumb_up:

There was a young couple on the flight where the guy had also planned to pop the question.

The girl was over the moon, and announced that she'd just said "yes" to his marriage proposal:hug:.

This was followed by cheers and clapping from fellow passengers, and another glass of champagne all round.

A great idea and very romantic:heart:. Go for it! "Good Luck"

So Planedrivel ? (how insulting) stirred the pot a little, and brought the Captain back to life:clap::heart:, but was he grateul?

NO!

The poor Captain was so incensed :angry:at the doubts about him being the Real Captain, that it's reported that he has been protesting outside the local Flight Centre shop.

Complete with his sandwich board and banners, was seen collecting signatures from those folk that believe he is possibly the real one.

"Sign my pettition and you can win a brochure on discounted flights, but wait there's more. It also include a priceless picture of me in uniform at the top of the page, and for a gold coin donation i'll personally autograph it for you"

I'll even cut my picture off one, and paste in the next NES post for the budding pilots photo competition just to show those doubting buggers that i'm real.

At the end of the day, with sweat still trickling down his back from standing in the sun, he got three signatures and made 6 bucks.

Now with all this money, I should be able to buy a raffle ticket in BigPetes flying club swindle, and win myself a box of re-donated chocolates.

LittlePete might be a lot better looking, but my hat is a more impressive shape, and looks the part:cool:, he thought.

Meanwhile Crappy gets a severe case of the sierra hotel india tango sierra's, and flexes his muscles:

Quote:SO GET BACK TO (NES) BUSINESS OF OR I'LL USE MY LATEST ELEVATED ROLE ON THIS FORUM TO HAVE YOU ALL SUSPENDED FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS.

Paley found this threat:angry:, quite an arresting statement:help:, but Ben probably had'nt even noticed, as he was too busy playing with his new toy.:thumb_up::thumb_up::thumb_up::thumb_up:

Planey said he did'nt give taxidermist job, providing he's banned while away on holiday:big_grin:

For those interested in Starchy's problem, his solicitor issued a brief statement late today, claiming that as it was only a "touch and go" situation, he would not be fully charged;)

However, as the overheated exhaust fan came from an old take away shop, the smell of fries spread across the countryside could be considered by the hungry as pollution, and needing ongoing fees, this matter still had to be addressed.

LittlePete would have loved the experience, and its obvious what he'd like to do in the future.

A great photo to include in a future resume.

Nothing like getting your foot in the door early.;););)

Just think, you can look forward the day when we have a real Captain on here, one who dose'nt give you a hard time:question:, but you may find that a bit boring.

Then what would you do to have an ammusing stir?

I can't wait to hear the suggestions.......................................

Lots of clocks and gizmo's in that one to learn about, What a/c was it? (not the new Jabbiscrew GT I assume)

There are two statues in a park; one of a nude man and one of a nude woman. They had been facing each other across a pathway for a hundred years, when one day an angel comes down from the sky and, with a single gesture, brings the two to life. :thumb_up:

The angel tells them, 'As a reward for being so patient through a hundred blazing summers and dismal winters, you have been given life for thirty minutes to do what you've wished to do the most.'

He looks at her, she looks at him, and they go running behind the shrubbery. :big_grin::big_grin:

The angel waits patiently as the bushes rustle and giggling ensues. After fifteen minutes, the two return, out of breath and laughing.

The angel tells them, 'Um, you have fifteen minutes left, would you care to do it again?'

He asks her 'Shall we:question:'

She eagerly replies, 'Oh, yes, let's! But let's change positions. This time, I'll hold the pigeon down and you poop on its head.'

Dave and Wally were a couple of drinking buddies who worked as Aircraft mechanics in Melbourne.

One day the airport was fogged in and they were stuck in the hangar with nothing to do.

Dave said, 'Man, I wish we had something to drink!'

Wally says, 'Me too. Y'know, I've heard you can drink jet fuel and get a buzz.

You wanna try it?' So they pour themselves a couple of glasses of high octane booze and get completely smashed.

The next morning Dave wakes up and is surprised at how good he feels.

In fact he feels GREAT! NO hangover! NO bad side effects.

Nothing!

Then the phone rings. It's Wally.

Wally says, 'Hey, how do you feel this morning?'

Dave says, 'I feel great, how about you?'

Wally says, 'I feel great, too. You don't have a hangover?'

Dave says, 'No that jet fuel is great stuff -- no hangover, nothing. We ought to do this more often.'

' Yeah, well there's just one thing.' 'What's that?'

'Have you farted yet?'

'No.'

'Well, DON'T, ' cause I'm in Perth.'

A man owned a small farm in Aberdeenshire.

The Department of Wages claimed he was not paying proper wages to his staff and sent a representative out to interview him.

'I need a list of your employees and how much you pay them,' demanded the rep.

'Well,' replied the farmer, 'there's my farm hand who's been with me for 3 years. I pay him £200 a week plus free room and board.

The cook/housekeeper has been here for 18 months, and I pay her £150 per week plus free room and board.

Then there's the half-wit. He works about 18 hours every day and does about 90% of all the work around here. He makes about £10 per week, pays his own room and board, and I buy him a bottle of whiskey every Saturday night. He also sleeps with my wife occasionally.'

'That's the guy I want to talk to...the half-wit,' says the agent.

'That would be me,' replied the farmer.:hittinghead:

What do you call an archer with one eye?

Bo Peep

You can't see too much out of the windows, but he'd be used to that with PoppyPetes limmo tint.

Like a true professional, IcanlandonasixpencePete started to practice his craft and after several tests decided he was ready to land on runway 08 at Echuca. "Boy" said landonathreepencePete. "Runway 08 at Echuca has to be one of the shortest in the land .......... but I wonder why they made it over a kilometre wide?"

Having read that Air Lingus pilots regularly pull off this sort of landing, IcandoitPete stays up half the night practicing on FlightSim.

Happy with the progress he's made, he eventually heads off to bed just before sun-up, feeling confident that he'll be able to make history, and do the same at Nohopetown in a 747.:thumb_up:

I'll show these guys how IcanlandonasixpencePete got his name he thinks.

All I have to do is pull the damn thing up, before I poke the nose into the clubhouse dunny door, because you never know ho could be inside, and I might frighten the out of them and have to say:sorry:

PS My Aunt gave me the box of Cadbury Roses on my 21st birthday. :ah_oh::ah_oh:/quote]

 

For once, we are getting the true story from BigPete;);)

 

We do know that his Aunt had a set of ill-fitting dentures, which explains why some of the almonds had had the chocolate sucked off them and were put back in the box:laugh:.

 

Planey said nothing about his observations, and left them all to paley.

 

Having learned on another thread that a J160 pilot managed to land a 747 on the old Anset simulator, Bigpete thought if he can do it, so can I.

 

So IcanlandonasixpencePete started making a few enquiries about getting the strip extended a tad, so he can plan a Real Grand arrival at the next Nohopetown fly-in.

 

I'll do it all myself and won't need the sevices of a Captain Captain:sorry:

 

"Bull:censored:t" said Crappy, "im supposed to be yer mate, and you want all the bloody glory. Thats real nice"!thumb_downthumb_downthumb_downthumb_down

 

Ben will have to organise some parking arrangements with big concrete blocks for tie-downs, and the first-aid and refreshment tents will have to be positioned the other side of town.

 

Wanting to look distinctive:question:, i'll grow a Donald Trump hairstyle and have the Riverland girl, and any other loose sorts from town around me, and will make them all rash promises if they do the right thing, if I can remember what that is;);););).

 

I'll become famous, and probably then become known as NancybirdPete.

 

If I dye my hair, maybe there's a chance that i'll still look distinguished, but hopefully 2 or 3 years younger:blush:

 

So plans started to fall into place.................

"..... "And if Planey and palexxxx want to sit in the cockpit late into the evening ;) watching the moon rise and the stars twinkling :heart::heart: (whilst sharing Cadbury Roses) - It doesn't make them GAY" said FatherBobPete. :big_grin: (yea right!!) "

So here you have it!;););)

The Oaks & Bendigo Chronical.doc

I received this in my emails today, and wondered whether it came from the Riverland girls favourite Pete?

Yours most sincerely;););)

We interupt this story for a brilliant idea :thumb_up: from, well, you know who. (I'mStraitPete)

Ian, to raise funds for the good of all, why not sell 1 week in the sin bin vouchers - $10.00 buys the purchaser the right to ban someone/anyone for a week. :ah_oh: You could even use it on your friends and close associates. :black_eye:

 

I'll have 40 bucks worth right now - thanks. :big_grin::big_grin:

"Oh Geez", not again Pete,

With 40 bucks worth, you can ban yourself, and stay away for a month.thumb_down

Don't do mate:crying::heart:, not a good idea.

Get a credit, and spend the money in the Clear Prop Shop instead, but don't forget to leave a sizable tip for the good service.:thumb_up:

That way you can continue leading us decent blokes astray, as deep-down we love it:heart::heart:.

The Captain must have his knickers in a twist, to be brazen enough:black_eye: to even suggest that you might be changing your beloved (J160) for a SportsStar.

After all, why would you even consider getting burn't to a crisp on hot summer days, when yours has the limmo tint, and as you know, the Riverland girl likes it in the shade;);)

So SealedInALeadSuitPete went off like a cross between a discoloured geyser & the fireworks at the Echuca gay mardi-gras, such that he could be seen all over the riverland.

NotsoScientificPete should have realised that this was likely to happen if he ordered VindalooGT with extra chillies.

With the low melting point of the lead suit, he would have been better of off with the milder Corma, but it's too late now.

It came as a bit of a shock to learn that Echuca has it's very own Gay-Mardi-Gras (what a bummer). Never mind, we all have to accept that in this day and age of political correctness, that we sometimes get "a bit behind" with the latest news;).

SavethedayPete put in a welcome brief appearance with news of his instructor? LittlePete, who'd taken him on a short Navex, with one working the stick, and the other working the pedals, but it's great to hear that they had a good time.

The "Grapevine" has it, that Plod got so fed-up with waiting for his aerial "weed- spotter" to be supplied by the Commisioner, that he had to buy his own. (Congratulations Plod, it looks great) :thumb_up::thumb_up::thumb_up:

Don't forget to check out the weeds in Pete's backyard as they look a bit sus on on the google-earth shots.

Planey's weeds, are due to his mower being well overdue for it's 100hourly blade-change. Thats my story and i'm sticking to it;);););)

Other than a little coughing and wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeezing, Planey realised that the old gas mask had past it's use-by date, but is feeling better since the strong nor-easterly came through, while SealedInALeadSuitPete had this strange grin on his face:):):) and a look like butter would'nt melt in his mouth:question:.

I'll be back tomorrow with some interesting developments in the Jabiru Skunk Works.

 

:yuk::yuk::yuk::yuk::yuk:

Meanwhile, we look out those old WW2 gas masks buried in the garden shed in fear of what we can expect, and await further developments:confused::confused:

This should be enlightening, if not educational!!

These are great posts.

Can just imagine the excitement telling his mates about it when he gets back to school.:big_grin::big_grin::big_grin:

Lovely to see the little fellah having a ball. (Well done Matt & Kaz):thumb_up::thumb_up:

Look after the J160 Pete, i'm sure the day will come, when he'll want to borrow the keys.:)

Regards

Alan

So where's our mate :broken_heart:Pete hiding?

Is he writing an autobiography about being incarcerated and trying to work out why it took so long to be rescued, or, is he still working on that bloody pogo- stick thingy, with only one ball

Maybe he's ducked down to Barbeque's Galore while they have a special on, to set-up in oposition to Slartihotplate, so he can francise out to LittlePete to keep the wealth within the family:question:

The Captain is away working hard delivering Wichettyburgers, so he can afford to get tinted windows like SelfmadePete:cool: with the exclusive LimmoJabby.

While Ian is taking a well-earned break, they're both missing out on a golden-oportunty to make:ban me please: statements as Slarti is busy, and get away with it;);)

Looks like a great day out to me, and I bet LittlePete loved it!

All that fun while I was working hard.

Where's the justice in this world?i_dunnoi_dunnoi_dunno

A Liberty XL-2 one from Sydney Flight Training Centre.

The wings were ripped clean off on an aircraft that was only 3 1/2 mths old

A sad day indeed!

My heartfelt feelings go out to all concerned, and family members at this tragic loss.

I had been sitting in the car with scanner on and saw it take off a short while earlier.

RIP

Geez that dust must be thick:yuk:, the Captain can't even find his way to his computer to contribute to The Never Ending Story:cool:.

Say what you like at the moment Captain, Ians away and Slarti's busy (hopefully):thumb_up::thumb_up::thumb_up:

Congratulations Pioneer200

If you managed to get the misses up with you and she enjoyed it, your even luckier than many.

Now she'll understand why you want to go flying.

Take care

A Highway Patrol cop stops a Harley for traveling faster than the posted speed limit, and asks the biker his name.

'Fred,' he replies.

'Fred what?' the officer asks.

'Just Fred,' the man responds.

The officer is in a good mood and thinks he might just give the biker a break and, write him out a warning instead of a ticket.

The officer then presses him for the last name. The man tells him that he used to have a last name but lost it.

The officer thinks that he has a nut case on his hands but plays along with it.

'Tell me, Fred, how did you lose your last name?'

The biker replies, 'It's a long story, so bear with me. I was born Fred Dingaling. I know - a funny last name. The kids used to tease me all the time, so I stayed to myself, studied hard and got good grades. When I got older, I realized that I wanted to be a doctor. I went through college, medical school, internship, residency, and finally got my degree, so I was Fred Dingaling, MD.

After a while I got bored being a doctor, so I decided to go back to school. Dentistry was my dream! Got all the way through school, got my degree, so then I was Fred Dingaling, MD, DDS.

Got bored doing dentistry, so I started fooling around with my assistant and she gave me VD, so now I was Fred Dingaling, MD, DDS, with VD.

Well, the ADA found out about the VD, so they took away my DDS. Then I was Fred Dingaling, MD, with VD. Then the AMA found out about the ADA taking away my DDS because of the VD, so they took away my MD leaving me as Fred Dingaling with VD. Then the VD took away my Dingaling, so now I am Just Fred.'

"Take it easy mate, and have a good day", the officer said, as he walked away in tears, laughing.
