nacmacfeegle 0 #27 June 6, 2002 Thats coz they're in white today.... Allez les blancs????this top secret report just in from our agents in the far east....."Location: Enemy Base Camp, somewhere in the far East.All going well. Of the original mission I have accomplished:1)Closure of Wembley - they are now homeless with no solution insight.2)Loss of 2006 World Cup to Germany.3)Installation of foreign coach - was going to be Fergie but hecould'nt bring himself to do it even for a laugh. Sven agreed oncondition he was allowed to reclaim all blonde Swedish weatherforecasters from the barbarians. Agent Sven performing remarkably, introducing long ball game just before World Cup. We should put themback 10 years by the end of Nigeria match. 4)Beckham fooled into thinking he had an injury we got Fergie toshow him an x-ray swiped from Glasgow Southern General and told him itwas his foot and to stop training. This worked so well we used samex-ray for Neville and Murphy.5)Took under 21 team away from Peter Taylor who had them playing welland gave it to Howard Wilkinson. That nearly compromised my cover as itwas too obvious, so hired next best thing - David Platt.6)Our German friends agreed to take a dive in Munich so as to reinforceunwarranted superiority complex - avoiding awkward questions afterGreece/ Holland/Italy games. Now showing real form against SaudiArabia. 7)Sven secretly signed a three year deal with Swedish FA in April andis in fact managing their team at the World Cup. 8)Fergie has played Veron out of position all year to disguise his realtalent until Friday. 9)I expect to complete mission by July 2002 when Sven takes Ulrika backto Sweden, media get on the back of all foreign coaches and insist on anEnglishman. I will then give the job to Gazza before returning toGod's country. Alba Gu Brath Agent Crozier"CyaDGR# 37Remember how lucky you are to see and touch the sky; the blind may only dream.

SkydiveMonkey 0 #28 June 6, 2002 Quote The UK's plane of choice (dont ask me why) is the LET 410 I've heard it's to do with the fact that the ones we get are foreign registered (usually Czech), so that means they don't need to be serviced every x amount of hours - just fix it when it breaks Let's go play chicken with a planet !!

skreamer 1 #31 June 6, 2002 So, Remi, what was the final score against URgay? Didn't Denmark beat URgay? Is Denmark now on 4 points and France has to beat them to have any chance of going through (probably on goal difference)? Wouldn't it be embarrasing to be world champions and not even make the 2nd round?Boy, this must be soooo humiliating for you and I am absolutely loving it!!!

skreamer 1 #33 June 6, 2002 Sorry nac, but we (South Africa) are playing Spain on the 12th.

skreamer 1 #35 June 6, 2002 Actually my dad's parents emigrated from Scotland to South Africa. But seeing as how shite Scotland have been at rugby and football lately I tend to keep that quiet!

skreamer 1 #38 June 6, 2002 Ja, at least at Hinton they call me an annoying twat, but they are not like normal English people. At work they tell me I have a 'blunt personality' and that I am 'rather abrupt'. Don't these people understand that to a South African this is a compliment???

Jasmin 0 #47 June 7, 2002 That and they're built so an idiot can fly 'em. You really don't need a co-pilot for a Let. They have automatic trim adjustment so that if you lose an engine it automatically compensates (or at least the one here does...) just pray you're not onboard when they backfire, scares the s**t out of the load onboard and the whuffo-punters....

cpoxon 0 #48 June 7, 2002 As far as I'm aware, it never came back from a service (or was it repairs?) in Denmark shortly after the Caravan arrived. I guess Langar wanted to maximise their purchase of the Caravan. According to my logbook, the last time i jumped out of it was 24th February 2001.
