ANyway here is a joke just for pachamama and failry topical to this thread.
A bloke walks into a pub and orders 6 tumblers of whisky which he lines up on the bar. He then downs them one after the other in quick succession. The barman thinks this is a bit strange and says "Is everythink OK?"
The chap replies and says "Well I'm not sure, its a bit of an occasion really, just had my first BJ"
"Fantastic" says the barman, "have another whisky on me to celebrate".
"No thanks" says the chap, "If 6 whisky's won't take the taste away then the 7th won't either"

I just think this is quite an appropriate thread to mention that I spent half of yesterday queueing at OSL along with a bunch of hunky Norwegian squaddies in full uniform. 
I can think of more than one FTer who would have given his eye-teeth to hang around with this bunch of "plebs". Right Dave... 
And to think people say that Christmas miracles don't happen!

Have you got your mac set up on some type of alert whenever the word "squaddie" is typed?!

I had completely missed this thread. It has taken me all of the afternoon to read it.
I am lost for words.

Actually it's just an "affectionate" term for soldiers in uniform. I'm sure fbg will be able to provide more first-hand info.

Wow. this has to be one of the best threads I've seen. Just noticed it as it bumped. Anyway, on the topic of
... a friend who is an ex-777 pilot with BA told a story of a certain very well-known actor in the F PJs who was fast asleep lying on his side, with the Horn in its full glory. Apparently, there followed many spurious trips to the flight deck by a succession of FAs to get a good look
