Deluded sycophancy

Post by Smooth As Silk » Fri Oct 28, 2016 4:02 pm

I have read with utter dismay, several social media posts these last few days where folk have started to refer to various pilots and even the Station Commander by their forenames, as though they are best of chums...get real folks

Please discuss...

Indeed, this incorrect and inappropriate informality must stop immediately.
Now, go warm the toilet seat, I shall be ready in 3 minutes.

You are 105% correct, toetapper. Sad to say it, but.....

They must be short in stature, both physically and socially.

It's Cringable at best,
At worst with what's going on in the world these days ( Marham attempted kidnap for instance ),you would think people would think twice before doing it just to be on the safe side.

I was only discussing this with ginger and biff in the mess the other day, sick note , compo, and septic all agreed.

Pongo ran in and shouted, bandits at 10 o'clock, silly rse told him it was only half past nine, hours

Can't get the staff you know,

Sorry bad attempt at humour, too much familiarity these days, I agree with what has been said,

Case of little people trying to build themselves up. Saddoes :thumb:

Disagree, don't think your average jihadist will bother with joining here or Coningsby spotters group for intel when the RAF put it out there themselves! https://www.facebook.com/RAFConingsby/ http://www.raf.mod.uk/typhoondisplay/

I think you are missing the point here Captain Black... the subject was about deluded idiots associating themselves with aircrew as a kudos booster...

But also interesting that the Station Commander (Jez) is leaving for ventures new, should we have a sweepstake to see who is the first to befriend the new 'staish' on social media ?

'Jez' used as a reference, I would call him Sir...

Jez , sir ? aren't you being sycophantic now or I am missing the point?

Anyway shouldn't this dross be best discussed on social media rather than on an Aviation enthusiasts site such as this?

You have answered your own question...the last bit of your comment
It is also called irony

Or indeed are they using names as a reference much as you did above>?

Bang on. Even if it should be it's certainly got nothing to do with what the RAF Coningsby thread is for.
