Ok then. Every possible Pilot.

Watching the pilot with the pilot.... ahhhh.....
Fast? Well, we actually overtake each other. (is this correct English?)

Davina · September 2, 2012 8:30 pm

Perfectly correct! What about if Douglas does the flying and Martin can act as the cabin attendant? Or drive us the other end..man with a van!

Mattlocked · September 2, 2012 8:33 pm

And Arthur serves us surprising crisps and fizzy joghurt

Davina · September 2, 2012 8:58 pm

Surprising rice and orange platter with Tallisker or pineapple juice to drink. Strudel, fizzy yoghurt or cheesecake for dessert.

And then we play passenger derby / fangirl derby

SusiGo · September 2, 2012 9:21 pm

If we include the Tallisker I'll need a place to sleep. Maybe in the overlead lockers.

I think it has caught on here in the States, at least in the workplace, whenever some kind of title is necessary. Miss sounds like something you'd call my 7 year old granddaughter. And Mrs.? Even a married woman, in her workplace, wouldn't want to be Mrs. anybody. All of that is so 1950s. If a title is used at all for a woman at work, then Ms. it is, unless she's earned the right to be called Doctor.

What's happened here is a high degree of familiarity, a lot of which is not really proper, IMO (I'm showing my age here). Addressing physicians and dentists by their first names-- even children are allowed to do that now, which I find unfortunate. "Tell Doctor Alice where it hurts!" Everyone is Joe and Harry and Samantha and Tiffany in the workplace now, even in formal places, like in legal practices. If someone's addressed as Mister or Ms., they're probably the Big Boss, or older than everyone else's grandparents.

Interesting that Fraulein is not used anymore in Germany. Gone the way of the feminist dodo, as our Mrs. and Miss have, I presume, along with a lot of the old traditional ways we were taught to address our "betters," back in the day.

What in heck are you guys talking about? *g* Surprising rice? Surprising rice and orange platter? Tallisker? Fizzy yogurt? I do know what strudel and cheesecake are, thank god... but what is that other stuff?

The foods (at least some of them) are from Cabin Pressure, the BBC radio comedy series. BC plays a pilot on that series, hence the pun of the photo of him from the pilot episode of Sherlock. (And a very nice one. Thanks, Tobe.)

Cabin Pressure is hilarious, by the way.

Oh dear lord you haven't heard Cabin Pressure? You need to get right on that. They're all on YouTube. Not safe for work though, as you'll laugh out loud quite a lot.

There are a LOT of references in this forum that will make a helluva lot more sense if you get the Cabin Pressure references ;)

SusiGo · September 3, 2012 5:47 am

Oh, yes, Ancientsgate, you must listen to CP, it's so much fun.

Davina · September 3, 2012 6:05 am

Not sure if they are still on YouTube (copyright) but available to download. Look on the Cabin Pressure thread in Benedict's non-Sherlock work. P.S. all the foods are from CP and I haven't even mentioned the cheeseboard yet. With CP it is once bitten, forever smitten!

SusiGo · September 3, 2012 6:23 am

Or as they say in Limerick:

Would you like the orange platter?
I think fizzy yogurt is better.
The strudel's too sticky
The cheesecake too icky
and Admiral's Pie makes me fatter.

Brilliant Susi! Arthur would be so happy, even happier than usual.

Mattlocked · September 3, 2012 7:23 am

Wow, early morning poetry!

I'm afraid CP is no longer on youtube, but, well, you can buy it on iTumes!

SusiGo · September 3, 2012 8:33 am

Oh, I think I'll have to write another poem:

Mattlocked · September 3, 2012 10:39 am

Have to extend my lunchbreak now..........

hepzibah · September 3, 2012 5:14 pm

has anyone posted this one before? It deserves a viewing, don't you think?

Looking thoughtful and intelligent and sexy....

SusiGo · September 3, 2012 5:16 pm

What a wonderful photo! I'm just trying to concentrate on translating a text about an English opera singer and now this … And he's wearing chucks as well.
