cheers to you sir ."all under my breath of course " tony

Well Mayday aint' the right spolling of M'aiderz neither.

Bitch a lot, feel better a lot.(Sad a lot).

Over and out not right either, it's Over or Out, never over and out.

OVER− My transmission is ended; I expect a response.
OUT− The conversation is ended and no response is expected.
ROGER− I have received all of your last transmission. It should not be used to answer a question requiring a yes or a no answer.

Now is that Rodger the Doger, or Roger the Dodger -- let's make up our minds chaps and talk Inglish proper as it is meant to be spoke !! :curtain_call:

Rite, said Fred!

If you have a cockpit with a Captain Oveur, co-pilot named Roger and engineer named Victor you have a formula for confusion: :sweat:

Now that was a funny film! "What's my vector, Victor?"


Funny how 'Roger' has hung over from an earlier phonetic alphabet; strictly speaking we should now say "Romeo"

Airplane II, Captain Oveur, Navigator Unger, First Officer Dunn. Unger said that technically Dunn was under Oveur, and I was over Dunn :jester:

Signal good, standing by.

Back in the mid-1960s at Ras Lanuf, Libya, the refinery and port comms systems were maintained by a Brit whose first name was Roger. Most of the port administrators and refinery supervisory staff were Americans, as were the port Pilots. They seemed very amused by Roger's British accent and on one occasion that we were in port (well, anchored to pick up the end of the pipeline) Roger was doing radio checks on the port VHF radio system for most of the day. Every time he called us or one of the other vessels in the vicinity, the Americans on board would respond with, "Roger-Roger, Roger", followed by loud guffaws of laughter.

We didn't see what was so funny about it (especially after the first ten or so times it happened) and I'm sure Roger wouldn't have been amused.

Just because I asked about lipstick you think you can call me Romeo?

Perhaps it would be unkind it was because everyone was sick of "Roger"ing you.

As long as you keep up the scourgeing and don't loosen the nipple clamps.

Over and oot

It’s Roger, out. Only TV progs and films say over and out. Out means the exchange is complete, no answer required.

The days of grammar have long since went!

Both my Granmas have long since gone … :eek:

you rang M'Lord?

Send three and fourpence were going to advance.

I was asked if I enjoyed working under the auspices of the Officers. I misunderstood and overreacted and spent the next 6 months wearing Oilskins at all times.

Education was wasted on me.

or perhaps that should be: Send three and fourpence we're going to a dance. :bounce:

four thirds of people don't understand fractions.

Don't be vulgar!

I was loader/radio operator on diverse vehicles in the army, and the only message I understood was "the maneuver is over." Everything else was answered with "You are weak and unclear, message not received." Often not received from a roadstop serving beer, and under severe threaths of physical harm from my companions should I react otherwise.

Four radio masts were erected at Ras Lanuf. The Brit in charge of the layout misunderstood the instruction that the tower leg bases should be level within 12 inches of each other. Believing this to mean all towers and the site being sloping, one tower’s feet were at ground level, the next tower several feet below natural ground level and so on until tower number four’s feet were about twenty feet below ground level in a dynamited hole.
