lol....we are in the holding phase now....excuse the pun.....
Dewi_cool:
what is THE ETA
APAT:
Should make significant ground over the weekend and will be aiming for signoff midweek, or asap. Timings remain approx as we are relying on others to confirm their position. The venue will almost certainly be confirmed next week.

LMAO!
If I throw in a few quid extra, will we get a guarantee on the final 500 yards back into Heathrow? - PISSIN MYSELF LAUGHIN!!!
Topical - excellent!
Photo - awesome!
Treasurer - emmm ...
If I cared, I"d ask where the plane is going to. But, as per previous posts, you"ll see we"re not interested any more. And you"ve only yourself to blame!

So anyway, I was talking to a guy today about hiring a jet for the event...as you do. The conversation went something like this:
Me: Ahem, hello...I believe you lease Jumbo jets?
Him: That"s right sir, and we are amongst the most competitively priced in the industry.
Me: Great. Tell me, if I throw in a few quid extra, will we get a guarantee on the final 500 yards back into Heathrow? Ha, ha, ha, ha.....
Him: [Silence]
Him: .....sorry sir, is this a serious enquiry?
Me: Yes, yes...sorry about that....ahem, just trying to be...erm...topical....
Him: Sir, our fleet is amongst the safest in the business, I can assure you we do not gamble with our customers lives. Who will be travelling?
Me: A couple of hundred poker players......
Him: [Silence]
Him: [Sharp intake of breath]
Me: No, seriously....I"m looking to transport poker players to a big tournament in Europe.
Him: [Sounding a bit shirty now] Is this a wind up?
Me: No, no...not at all....well some of them aren"t very good, so you could invoice it as a couple of poker players and a couple of hundred "hangers" on. Hangers, eh....did you see what I did there?
Him: Sir, are you pulling the p**s?
Me: Oh, I"m awfully sorry, please excuse my poor sense of humour. I really wasn"t trying to make fun of you...please accept my apologies.
Him: Right....I wasn"t sure whether you were trying to play on the gambling reference, and frankly my day"s been too long for a wind up. We"re not on the radio are we?
Me: No, god no. Not at all.... and seriously, I do have a couple of hundred players that need shipping to the continent over the bank holiday weekend. Can you sort us out?
Him: Do you know what type of aircraft you will require?
Me: I have an idea in mind.....
Him: Do you need to hire a flight crew also?
Me: No, I think we have that covered.....
Him: How will you be paying sir?
Me: Our treasurer Neil Dawson - the luckybugur"s got all the money. Ha, ha, ha, ha...cough.
Him: .....and your destination sir?
Me: Excuse me?
Him: The destination? Where will the plane be going to?
Me: [Silence]
Him: Sir? Sir........Sir?
Me: ...Right, I can give you a klue..... :D
