DeBenGuzzi Posted December 8, 2006 Posted December 8, 2006 I think youre drunk right now there jimbo, isn't it a bit early? what time is it anyway
helicopterjim R.I.P. Posted December 8, 2006 Author Posted December 8, 2006 You changed it! I liked the first one better but it wasn't a real spoon - not like Martin's.
Martin Barrett Posted December 8, 2006 Posted December 8, 2006 Despite having seen that image before and having forwarded it on to someone at work who used the expression. The tea spoons were disapearing from the tea club. I didn't know it's origins. So I've just Googled it. Because of their powerful forelegs and bite if you want to poke a badger you have to do it in the spoon position, is that what you're saying Jim? I think your logging trips are too long Frisky will have to keep you away from the wildlife. Above has no relationship to the answer I found on Google Just a product of my deviant mind. Though deviant brings us back to the origin of the phrase - his deviation - make up and women's clothing takes us back through Monty Python to lumberjacks and therefore Jim again <_> I agree with no 2. It's good having a common interest and then you see snap shots of other peoples lives.

helicopterjim R.I.P. Posted December 9, 2006 Author Posted December 9, 2006 Hey Jim, where you drunk when you wrote all these?? Just a question... Strangely enough no! I'm in one of those sober moments between events - sort of catching my breath if you will. May just be on the other side later tonight. Off to a safety meeting with the chief pilot, ops manager and der fuhrer (company owned by ex Luftwaffe Starfighter pilot). I expect safety will not be on the agenda!
badmotogoozer Posted December 9, 2006 Posted December 9, 2006 We had a safety meeting this week. The only good idea was from the chap who suggested that if nobody worked, nobody would get hurt. Good thing we have safety commitees... Rj
helicopterjim R.I.P. Posted December 9, 2006 Author Posted December 9, 2006 The only good idea was from the chap who suggested that if nobody worked, nobody would get hurt. A pilot tried that at a safety briefing up in Yukon about 15 years ago. He had about 8 firecrew lined up waiting to go to a fire but they had to be briefed on the helicopter they were flying in. The pilot pulled out a large pistol, waved it around and said 'nobody moves - nobody gets hurt' . He was sent to Saskatchewan the next day!
antonio carroccio Posted December 9, 2006 Posted December 9, 2006 Jim, do I mis the Monster? Or is this bike gone? You use to have a monster? don't you?
