Mr, Mrs, Ms, or Other

Postby afskies scribe » Thu Mar 09, 2006 5:05 pm

Hey there Agent, don't you know that love means never having to say you're sorry... after all, a MS is as good as a (nautical) MILE!
And so terloops en by the way, only the Q of E is addressed as Ma'am... :D

the Queen of England and my old English School teacher at Marais Viljoen High in Alberton who insisted on being called Ma'am Lessing. To her Miss was the brown smelly stuff cows leave laying around. :wink: :D

I'm coming down to CT for the Argus this weekend. Can bring down a couple of copies if anyone's interested.

Ms. Afskies, call me doff but can you clarify how much the subsciptions are?

What I can make out is that it is R25 per issue (incl. VAT and Postage) and there are 6 issues per year. Does that mean that the subs are R150 per annum (6 issues) which includes VAT and Postage (in South Africa)? It is just a bit unclear on the subscription form.

Thanks

Subscription cost

Postby afskies scribe » Fri Mar 10, 2006 10:47 am

Wart, you're a genius!
Yebo, it's R25 per issue x 6 per year = R150.
However, you've received one issue as a freebie, so it's only R25 per issue x 5 for 2006 = R125 (unless you simply want to carry your subscription through to include the first issue i.e. Feb/March of 2007, in which case R150 will do very nicely, thank you).

Fly safe!

We know, he just needed some re-assurance.

Morph's misspent education...

:? ...So the old pop, in her wisdom, tried to guide you around even a vague mention or reference to the brown stuff? I guess that automatically cut out a career in agriculture (manure between the toes), veterinary science (manure on gloves and exam. tables), various medical pursuits... (where not?) but messing around with f-l-y-i-ng for fun? Haven't you landed in all sorts of B-S along the way? :lol: :lol:
PS - My interest in adventure flying? must be the inherent condition of MBTE (manure between the ears)!

Happy landings?

Postby afskies scribe » Sun Mar 12, 2006 1:52 pm

Quite a devilish situation, I'd say!
As the old saying goes, any landing you can walk away from is a...
but I guess that was really a k@k one? (**) :lol: :!:

Be careful of the cow pat mine fields on ODI runway. They are huge and if you hit a "freah" one it takes a hose and some serios embow grease to get it offf :twisted:
