With acknowledgements and respect to RenFrew, how about some pearls of wisdom from the aviation world.
I think we need to have our own awards ceremony, complete with Red Carpeted escape chutes.
My contribution is the Bristol Airport MD who reckoned that a propliner going sideways into the mud on landing was a “minor incident”!!! I’m sure Willie or wont he Walsh will get a few nominations……. along with a Bader fixated gentleman. Hey thats another award!!! The Bader Award for Total Bollox!!! C’mon chaps, your nonminatioins… nominioceans…. nommnywommtly…. your votes are? 😉

How about this,
Back at Waddo 2002 we have the following classic incident,
2 blokes walking around the static display come to Vulcan XM607, and one of them goes mad about missing said Vulcan fly into Waddo on the arrival days. Anyway at this point I’m doing my very best to keep a straight face and this blokes M8 is trying in vain to point out this Vulcan last flew 20 odd years ago, anyway the idiot will have none of it and just when it looked like he was gonna really lose it he screamed out “fine I’m gonna pull a sicke on Monday to see the Vulcan fly out”, at this point his M8 just gives up and walks off, I’m laughing that much I almost split my coffee 🙂 🙂 🙂
I wonder if he really did go on the Monday and stay all day for nothing.
Oh and I will never forget the dickhead who claimed that it was an F-117 that blew up Coventry Catherdral in WW2, and he got very very nasty when someone tried to tell him he was wrong.
