What a great thread, now watch for one of those miscreants to come and ruin it...
I agree with most what has been said. On the subject of electricians etc (a subject close to my heart) when I was in the RAAF the engine, airframe and motor transport fitters had a name for radio, instrument, armament and electrical fitters. They called us "queer trades" I guess that in reference to the fact that you could not see electricity. Its very predictable that there was a lot of rivalry between us.
Pilots and other aircrew were called knucks due to the fact that the knuckles of both hands were damaged by them dragging them on the ground. Other Admin, supplier and pay types were called shiny bums because they sat down for a living.
Mess stewards, bar keeps and other food handlers were OK. Cooks were called fitters and turners, by the fact they fitted food into pots and turned it into $h1t.
As many states were represented in the forces, things like football (BTW NRL is best), and other issues were vehemently defended.
My dear old Dad (RIP) told me a long time ago never to argue about sex, politics or religion (sound advice) I suspect Cindy our esteemed moderator was in the same room kudos to her. In his wisdom he also told me if it has breasts or a steering wheel RUN!! (apologies to the ladies and Holdens of this forum)
As far as grammar, spelling and syntax is concerned... well Im a retired teacher so go figure. Mind you I have not used Ohm's Law, calculus, algebra or a calculator since I retired.
The object of this ramble is to say, we are all different air breathing loving creatures, except Victorians, Queenslanders, Flight Engineers, and Commanding Officers, they are strange flashbacks placed on earth by aliens from pluto, made to confuse ground crew and NSWmen Only kidding!
This forum is the best. I have had many hours behind my keyboard helping, discussing and learning, so the objectives Cindy has set out are all achieved.
OK, have fun with this one....
Story goes that a mate of mine stood on the corner of George and Bathurst Streets in inner Sydney at peak hour (he was in full uniform with gongs) he stood there looking up at the sky for 5 minutes and walked around the block, when he got back to the spot he started from people were still looking up at the sky. Draw your own conclusions from that. So this is a place for fun and idle hours spent chatting and learning and I love it.
Cheers and love at ya
