BARKING MAD
Posted: Thu Dec 20, 2018 10:07 pm
Why is it that popping back into this room from a long absence it's like walking into a sitting room with lovely furniture, a lingering waft of woodsmoke, similar waft of alcohol and friendly bunch of old and new friends?
The "other place" is hostile and full of 'eejits' through whose drivel I have to trawl in search of intelligent life.
After 16 years RAF and 26 years in commercial I hung up the headset at 64 and 3/4 years old and am very grateful to be around to talk about it.
Occasionally nice things have been said about me in both places and I hope to continue not to offend, except the mods in the 'other place'!
Now that I'm on my own I have spent some time and effort reconnecting with former colleagues and pleased to have linked up with long-lost mates from both branches of aviation.
I'm planning a trip down-under next year but as aged SLF I have concerns about the current force of aircrew who move metal above my head now and with me inside soon!
I have a few threads cluttering up my cranium and will post when events prompt a hopefully articulate response.
Meantime I'm glad to be aboard opsnormal and look forwards to associating with former and new friends. Feel free to PM me if anyone recognises the dalmatian?
