Tom –
It wasn’t my fault, honest! I’ve still got the scars. Mind you, Tom, I’ll
forgive you anything after that far off day when I executed an unbelievably
accurate approach in my Fokker Friendship to Kathmandu to find, after taxiing
to the apron, you & Gerry sitting there in your huge Airbuses waiting for me.
I swear that you slewed there… If any of you have ever attempted the approach
and landing to Kathmandu airport VNTK you will understand my scepticism.
Back on your tractor, Tom.

I really can't believe that there is anyone still out there daft enough to want
to join us, particularly after that incident with Tom in the bar with his dog.
I still have nightmares... I wonder whether Jonh H realises that he will have
to supply his own armchair, bar stool, flying jacket - no bones, don't for
gawd's sake fob him off with Gerry's old flea-ridden cast off, he will have
enough problems as it is.
John H, nevertheless welcome to the mad-house/club-house We're not very active
during the Summer (fast asleep/drunk) but we start to come out of hibernation
about now. Must be something to do with the discounted Xmas spirit(s) available
from the usual retailers. Be careful about sampling the Malts behind the bar -
Alex & Mike L have a tendency to spike them. I can recommend the good Aussie
Shiraz (it used to be guaranteed 'red diesel free' but I can't promise anything
these days - I swear that I saw both the Franks hovering with a bottle of white
spirit and a corkscrew the other day, Tom was on his tractor...) :-(
You must be nuts John H!

I'm surprised to hear that there was any red diesel left. I - and I suspect
some of the others - have been running our cars on it for a while now. Since
the crew toilets have yet to be fixed, I suspect that you may find that the
pool is a different hydrocarbon, with a touch of ammonia to the odour.
Regarding outfits, you should realise that the lads feel rather strongly about
wearing skirts (at least during working hours) - even your two Scottish pilots.
Please make sure you buy from the mens section of the catalogue the next time.
@ John Hunt - welcome to the asylum ...

I am sorry to interrupt you all during your coffee break but it is the one time
I can guarantee finding you all in the same place. Before any of you ask I am
trying hard to get the heating restored to the crew room and you may have
noticed Big Brian working on the oil tank at the rear of the building. He will
be back in a few days once his arm is better but in the meantime may I ask you
not to walk round that area or throw matches into the admittedly large pool of
red diesel that has collected after the incident. Anyway that is not the reason
I have popped in to see you.
I would like to introduce a new pilot to JHB. John Hunt has been using FSX for
several years and mostly in GA aircraft and VFR around the UK. He has recently
joined VATSIM/IVAO and would like to gain experience in both IFR and online
operations. I cannot think of a better bunch of wise, old pilots to help him
out. Well, I could, but they were too expensive..
John, welcome to the slightly mad world of JHB. I know the guys will take you
to one side and tell you that I run a shoestring outfit but that is just their
sense of humour. I hope you will enjoy flying with us.
Talking about outfits reminds me to tell you all that the last sets I ordered
were not too successful and replacements will be coming soon. There was nothing
poor about the quality of the last delivery from China but some confusion may
have crept in about the order. Somehow they got the impression that pilots are
fit and slim and made the clothes accordingly. I am in no way suggesting you
have all become a little more portly but the new outfits will be let out
slightly..
