Painless

~S~ Swepington, I'm still a little peeved about "ze chermans" bombing Portsmouth so tough titty I say ! LOL ~S~ P.

~S~ OverDhill sir, Welcome to the DDz ! Interesting handle you have there, I saw the discussion about it in the "shout box" . We can't really call you "over" for obvious reasons or "hill" because we have an "APHill" already ! LOL (He gets called "AP" btw) Maybe "Dhill" ? I'm sure it will sort itself out. The squad has been around since 2005 and is very much like a disfunctional family, always has been , always will be. BG used to keep things in order but now that he has "moved on" we have a quorum of 7 representing both sides of the Atlantic who are there just in case there is a problem that the lads cannot sort out for themselves, (very rare). Every single member is free to express their opinion as long as it not deliberately offensive to any other member. Like any group of chaps we have some personalities that are "louder" or more forceful than others but when it comes to it we always have a vote on important matters. Having said all of that obviously the more a person contributes to the squad, the more people tend to listen to them. The point is that no one person is in charge, humour and fun are the most important things that we share but on occasions when it is called for (SEOW, Dogfight Ladder, a squad campaign, ETC), we all get a bit more serious and plan/fly as well as we can. Many of us are friends in "real life" and have met up and shared some great times (see Duxford threads). I hope that sounds like your "cup of tea". ~S~ Painless.

~S~ Chaps, Gutted !! Do you have any idea how many paperclips I could have bought with that £5 ? It's all those negative vibes that have scuppered this dig LOL I expect Mr Cameron is wondering why he spent so much time talking about Spits on his recent visit to Burmah unless........... I still hope there are some to be found out there and I hope he keeps looking. ~S~ Painless.

~S~ Faustnik , A big welcome to the DDz, please feel free to take the piss whenever you feel like it. We call it "banta" here. ~S~ Painless.

~S~ Snacko m8, You live on a Christmas card !! LOL ~S~ P.

~S~ BA, Very glad Mrs BA is ok m8 ! There are a number of public information videos you might want to share mostly about which seat the Lady should sit in when entering a vehicle..... there again perhaps not just yet LOL. ~S~ P.

~S~ Chaps, Looks like a great challenge ! Count me in. Very well planned indeed. mmmmm good planning ay......7 letters spring to mind.....SEOWOiC lol When were you thinking of running it Tom ? ~S~ Painless.

~S~ Merry Christmas to all my fellow full bellies. Eaten too much?.........trousers (pants) are too small ? You have no one but yourselves to blame ! LOL ~S~ Beltless

~S~ Chaps, Dogs are just an extension of their masters subconscious, they know what you are thinking...........that's why they do "naughty" things and also why they sniff bottoms !! ~S~ Strangeness

~S~ DDz, First of all MERRY CHRISTMAS boys hope you all have a great 2013. Just wanted to say on this Christmas Eve thank you for being a fantastic bunch of m8's throughout 2012. Americans, Canadians, Europeans, Brits, one and all thanks for being as sad as I am sharing fun in an entirely virtual world flying warbirds made of fuck all but pixels...........EXCELLENT !! It has been an exciting year for me as you all know and I have to say it's been made all the more doable because of the DDz "family" I am part of. If I've been a bit of a pain in the arse to any of you over the last 12 months then I am sorry. I can only offer up the fact that I have always been a bit of a "Marmite" bloke in as much as you either love me or hate me ! LOL (except for JP who is just a triffle odd obviously !) Our 2012 "real life" time both at Duxford, post Duxford and in Kev's and Tom's neck of the woods has been among the absolute highlights of my year. So on another level......... thanks fellow DANGER DOGZ !!S!! Painless.

~S~ Dave, Very nice M8. The best of British aviation ! ~S~ P.

~S~ Kira, My dog Lennox would love a present like that M8, perhaps two slices of bread in the parcel would save time at this end ! LOL ~S~ P.

~S~ Swooperton m8, Excellent story. Imagine what that must have been like....to not even realise that you have taken to the air ! I'm surprised Lt Wilkinson didn't say "fancy that !" in the hospital. LOL I wonder just how many times that sort of thing happened throughout the war, plenties I suspect. ~S~ P.

~S~ FT M8, Very nice work ! Do you also refurbish old "Sidewinders" ?? Just thinking ahead. ~S~ Painless.

OOOOOHHH MATRON !! Hope you make it BA
