One of few good things to come out of this situation is that the Ginger Whinge and his black minge are socially distanced from us in Britain.

Fukkem.

which end?

PH had psychological problems as an ordinary (orifice) grunt whilst out in the sandpit.

When he applied for, was accepted and trained for active service duties as an Apache pilot, did he first have to undergo any of the psychometric bollocks which bedevilled us ordinary nutters throughout our aviation careers?

Or was he exempted such “scrutiny” because grandma owned that flying club? And if he did undergo such testing then doesn’t it invalidate the tests if such as he can get through them without issues being flagged up by this typical American bollocks which contaminates our work environment to the detriment of the professions?

For some odd reason I managed to BS my way through, so possibly it’s easier than I thought to evade proper scrutiny........

..or you were a 'control' sample?

More like a LOC sample!

I have vague memories of reading somewhere that PH does not have the basic education pre-req's for being a chopper driver.

Anyone know if this is true or not?

Are you saying that he's fick?

Not at all.

The only educational qualification that I have is the RAF Education Test Part 1.
Part 2 was considered the equivalent of GCE's.

I'm not thick. I have a high IQ and a very good and logical diagnostic mind. I made a pretty good living fixing things.

So you say?

ok, ok, sorry, kiddin'!

Prince Harry distinguished himself at Eton in the school's combined cadet corps and was promoted to the highest rank of cadet officer* in May 2003. He got a B in Art and a D in geography. For a commission, at today's scores you need 72 UCAS points. Converting his pre-2017 results he was awarded 40+24. Clearly Maths was not on the agenda.

Obviously Daddy and Grannie had nothing to do with this.

That's it, been and gone and done it.

Fled to California in a private jet before the border closed. Canada not suitable and move 'home' permanent.

As they have relocated from a Commonwealth country will our police no longer be required?

[Capetonian]

Statement : Canada not suitable and move 'home' permanent.
Meaning : Canada to good for her and doesn't want her. Sad for PH.

I'm sure her trailer park in California will welcome her back.

[Boac]

I must have imagined her saying she would not move to the USA while the Chump sat in the White House? Obviously a woman of conviction.

Slowly getting what she wanted from the beginning, I just wonder when she will decide that PH is surplus to requirements...

Apropos the previous post:

The scene is a top of the range Air bnb mansion, on the outskirts of Vancouver. A couple are sitting at the breakfast table.

HER: Look, I’m fed up with this damp weather already. I want to move.
HIM: Where to, darling?
HER: California.
HIM: California? Where’s that?
HER: It’s about 3 hours flight away and the weather is so much better. We don’t have friends here and I feel isolated. I can’t find a job either.
HIM: Darling, we’re supposed to be isolated at the moment.
HER: Yes, but that’s why I married you. You can fix these things.
HIM: Hmmm, I’m not sure really. I quite like Canadia and I like to see granny’s face on the banknotes.
HER: Look, I’ve already told you, I’m finished with your family. If we move to California, I can get work. The climate will be better for little Archie as well.
HIM: But I thought you didn’t like that Donald Chump bloke. And what will I do while you’re at work all day? I’m really bored of playing with the X-Box.
HER: I’ve already fixed it so that he won’t be in the White House next year. What d’ya think this goddam virus is all about? Jeez, can’t you go out and hustle for some after-dinner speaking – they pay a fortune for that.
HIM: But don’t they have a lot of guns in America?
HER: Yeah, but mostly they shoot each other. You’re British – they won’t shoot you.
HIM: They shot that John Beatle bloke though, didn’t they?
HER: Yes, but that was in New York – that’s different. Now do we charter a plane for Los Angeles, or do I move into one of the spare bedrooms?
HIM: OK darling, I’ll call NetJets right away.

With HRH's AAC experience is he qualified for any sort of chopper drivers licence?

If so, don't the local TV companies hire choppers to monitor the rush hour traffic?

[Pontius Navigator]

Ian, he might have flown but they didn't let him loose in an Apache. He was accompanied by a competent adult at all times. They did give him a big hug to play with.

What traffic? It's strange seeing both the LA and Bay Area traffic on Google Maps stay pretty much green all through the rush hour.
