The rules are out the planning has started and the adjudicator (The Bilston bully) has already been abused over the rules. The league against cruelty to eggs has already made their points of view clear to this annual event.

Rumor has it there will be plenty of scrambled egg about at the end of this event.

Keep the Bilston Bully posted on your progress and gripes.

Yes the beardy wierdy (AKA the bilston bully)and his committe of one have finally issued the rules to us plebs but it's not cheating if you don't get caught. However all must be aware of the pedantic rule twisting capacity of this dictatoral organiser of the Great egg race and be prepared to abandon all reason if you enter into his machiavellian scheme. However with some "A" frame steps and a bit of thought bearing in mind the wealth of engineering knowledge around the place this year it will be a doddle. As easy as riding a unicyle off a safety raiser whilst balancing an egg in a bog roll tube. But watch out for the long dead Queen front man Freddie and his misguided mates. The egg race :PDT_Xtremez_30: it's a morale thing :PDT_Xtremez_30: DON'T TALK ABOUT IT DO IT.

Once more Queen Freddy has been spouting off again this year with his 101 ways of saving the egg.

It is no yoke they are prone to the occasional poaching and scrambling away in high speed pursuit machines. The drivers are not all they are cracked up to be and need this competition as part of their eggscape and evasion training.

BB (Bilston Bully) and his CFC gang (Cosford Fried Chicken) have been pontificating over some of the entries design criteria, if it looks good and it might win, ban it. If it can not be banned then sabotage it.

The task this year is simple, design a self propelled vehicle to travel 30 meters transporting an egg whilst negotiating the occasional obstacle (Ramp).

The management are once again entering into the spirit, finding out what they are not allowed to do then going ahead and doing it (leading by example, no change there then). Remember it’s only cheating if BB and the CFC catch you.

Don't worry, the Freddie lookalike will be too busy trying to brush up on his Bridge skills and as we all know he definitely needs to - that is when he is not trying to break the world record of calorie intake in one lunch time session.

I have heard a rumour that individuals who REALLY should know better have been asking the Bilston Bully whether or not it is acceptable to bring stuff like chainsaw engines and pyrotechics into the hangar to use in the egg race.:rolleyes:
OK, we could argue that its not a real hangar as there are no live aircraft inside, nonetheless, we really should wonder whether the airforce of tomorrow really is in safe hands? :raf:

Very Clever Conjecture Tin Basher but I must ask who in-Correctly Composed the Classic Clerihew. I, more than most, understand Life In The Squadron but I have to ask what does Left Over Tucker Supplies have to do with it? Is this additional Waste Product for Freddy to Consume Comfortably unseen at his desk, when nobody can accuse him of Constructive Chomping?

So you are still Lost In Time and Space. Klingoning to hope that you will win the event. No chance Big Boy you will be wheeled over by Tin Bashers entry, you will be really guttered by the launching mechanism. Wheel meet again at the start line.

Egg race entry update.

After extensive testing the bicycle wheel of destiny doesn't bloody work its $h!te.

No directional stability, no repeatable release system, the egg falls off and it crashes into fcuking everything. But people do laugh and it clears the ramp. Still better than a lash up of coffee jar lids or nicking your nippers pram to build a machine with a chain saw engine. With luck, some bodge tape and lead sheeting however the bicycle wheel of destiny will prevail if Freddie and egg lovers don't knack it up first

The Bilston bully, who still hasn't registered on the goat,::P: has granted every entrant an extra 2 days a week to complete their machine. In his infinate wisdom and benign magnificence he has given us plebs both Saturday and Sunday to get it done. Entries now number 16 machines so that's a lot of tea beaks and lunchtimes wasted.
Rules - Your machine must travel 15 Mtrs then clear a ramp then a further 15 Mtrs to the finish, once over the start no external control is permitted. Oh and the egg must be intact afterwards. The big run off is on the 19th so winners and others announced soonest after.

You will have to stop mentioning this mythical thing called morale as we all know someone will stamp it out.

Perhaps some time may be spent educating the student masses, well occasional appearance at the moment, as I'm sure that's what you're paid to do.

what exactly is the Great Egg Race?

The great egg race used to be on TV fronted by Professor Heinz Wolfe a sort of not dangerous at all non combat robot wars. Teams had to complete a given course using a home made device that could carry a raw egg from one end to the other without damage. The type of obstacles to be overcome varied each episode. Our version of the egg race, rigidlly controlled by the Bilston bully, has seen various types of course set and strict rules on what materials may be used over the years. Examples include flying an egg over the greatest possible distance in a craft made from nothing more than A4 paper and pritstick. Transport an egg 30 feet then over a 4 foot wall into a bucket 8 feet away all without damage or any form of remote control. This year its a 30 mtr course with an up and over ramp at midpoint. Again no remote control is permitted once the device has crossed the start line and the egg must survive the trip intact.

Noticing Tinbasher fielded the easy question, I'll try this one ;)

Both trades have their merits and it depends upon what you want to do.

Armourers deal with stuff the goes bang, loading weapons, servicing ejection seats that sort of stuff But they don't just work on aircraft things, they deal with small arms, pyrotechnics and bomb disposal as well. I'm sure a real armourer could fill in the many gaps I've left out.

As an AMM you work on the aircraft as an all round trade assistant, you'll be given some basics on hydraulics, engines, flying copntrols, avionics - the lot. After that you go out into the 'real airforce' and after two years learning the ropes you return to Cosford do more in-depth training in your specialised field i.e. mechanical or avionics. And don't listen to all the jackasses out in the main forums who refer to the place as Tossford, its not that bad really :PDT_Xtremez_30:

The Bilston bullies rules have not been bent they have been tied in pretty little bow and given back to him as a pressie. :PDT_Xtremez_30:
The egg container will be open to atmosphere he said - At least two teams have self closing lids. One team has double sided sticky tape in the bottom to secure the egg.::P:
No major commercial parts may be used he said - So making one out of just meccano bits is okay then! Using an electric golf trolley with an egg cup on is okay as well obviously. As is using a Bowling ball with an egg sized hole in the side. :PDT_Xtremez_15:
So flagrant is the disregard for his rules that he has had to ask for help. The scrupulously honest and totally unimpeachble Mr C :PDT_Xtremez_28: will assist him as all the rule bending may not be detected by the committee of one that is the Bilston Bully.

Rumour has it that OC Mech TS had a brief flirtation with the idea of inviting the Commandant to view the Egg Race. He appears to have had a change of heart possiibly because:

a. The standard of some of the machines shows that an awful lot of time has been spent 'cocking around' with them

b. The standard of others would'nt even grace an 8-years olds Young Engineers Club

c. A 7 year old is entering and his staff might get their butts kicked

d. Some machines demonstrate a flagrant disregard for basic fire regs, and the health and safety of the operative and all within an appreciable radius

Perm any one of the above.

It would be a jolly jape if they did win but you are forgetting one major problem Tin basher – one of the young lady’s better half has got involved with the designing and testing.

However next time BB can the scrutineering take less time than the event and the rules have less holes than a swiss cheese. The whole thing was a hoot and well worth the effort involved.
The next one is planned to be at easter 07 so BB an behalf of all competitors all I can say is "Bring it on Big boy".

Simple request Part 1
Dear Bilston Bully can you now stop being the all knowing wise one who puffs a briar and smiles like an indulgent father at our creations and revert to your mild mannered alter ego MJH.
Simple request Part 2

With only 8 weeks until easter still no indication from the organisers of what format this years easter event will take:PDT_Xtremez_06: . White smoke has yet to issue from the sacred briar however there has been rumours that it may involve some flying machines and that build time will be vastly reduced to as little as 24 hours.:PDT_Xtremez_30: MJH keep up the good work.:PDT_Xtremez_28:

TB, what ever we plan for the future, you know that the Proff will always surprise us with his master plan for the Great Egg Race. Still, as the current holders of the esteemed trophy, I’m sure that PSBM will pull a rabbit out of the hat for us yet again.

I'm shocked that the miss-management at mong toss haven't stamped down on this yet as it appears to improve/keep morale just above rock bottom. Surely your time would be better spent moulding the minds of the new breed of airmen or even getting the FT course sorted, for those of you who aren't out looking for new jobs that is.

If you were able to see over your mound of pies you would notice that we do the prep for the Great Egg races in our own time i.e. tea breaks and meal times.

We are far to diligent, professional and conscientious to do it during the firms time, as the designing of the new FT course takes up every moment of our working day.

If I were you, I would start looking over your shoulder and start worrying about your job in a blue suit as this government seems intent to get rid of as many servicemen as possible by fair means or fowl - war, redundancy, cut backs, etc.

I take it you have quite a few tea breaks and extended lunch times then, judging by what I have see first hand. It must have been a figment of my imagination the, alleged, instructors building strange egg mashing contraptions in the airframe repair bay during normal lesson times then. Now get off the goat and do some work.

CS !!!!!!!!!!!! I do belive you might just be throwing hard boiled eggs in double glazed houses .......... and breaking through!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now I really think all this f*cking egg nonsense should be barred untill you job stealers complete your current tasking .........

From what I hear from the extremely hard working blue suits next door to you, you are holding them up with your constant trips to the T-bar drinking coffee and stealing the biscuits .......... all between your pie breaks.

As for MJH ......... He needs to put all thoughts of ridiculous egg extravaganzas out of his Fiat filled mind until he manages to get the f*cking filthy hovel of a T-bar up to an acceptable standard ...........

Job stealing barstewards ........

Back on topic easter is fast approaching and still nothing from on high. ::/: Perhaps this morale inducing exercise is no more? MJH what news from the eyrie? The cave dwellers next door are eager for news and ready to join in even if one half of Dave has now left us. The surviving members of so called suicide squad are primed and ready. MJH bring it on big boy!!!!!!!!!!:PDT_Xtremez_28:
Oh yes and LH one small thing the egg race

Now you are being really silly !!!!!!!!

If you think chucking a f*cking egg around the hangar will raise any levels of morale then you are sadly mistaken ..........

I think you might find that most destructors in blue have had the final grains of this morale thing well an truly kicked out of them .......

Lets just say as one crowned b*llend has departed another one has arrived with an equally bad case of OCD !!!!!!!

Eggs are for eating anyway ......... ask CS he's had a few !!!!!

PPS ....... the T-bar must have been cleaned by someone else then ... :PDT_Xtremez_28:

At last the white smoke has issued from the french dwelling of MJH. The big event is to held on 29th March. However no one can see the rules until the 13th of March. But MJH being a staunch Francophile it may well be an exercise in whose egg can surrender first!!!!!!!!!!!! :PDT_Xtremez_30:

Don't worry, the Freddie lookalike will be too busy trying to brush up on his Bridge skills and as we all know he definitely needs to - that is when he is not trying to break the world record of calorie intake in one lunch time session.

Freddie & Bridge skills?, now there is a contradiction!!
