bickster Posted May 2, 2011 Moderator Share Posted May 2, 2011 I appear to have pissed off a few of my work colleagues with BOF's Bin Laden / Madeline McCann joke on fb. Oh well, the colleague cull will begin in earnest this week. Humourless scousers, who'd have thunked it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villaajax Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 People using the Phonetic Alphabet, here's an example. "I'll read out the serial number to you" 'Okay, ready' "Romeo Foxtrot Hotel Alpha 1..." "... what?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"I'll read out the serial number to you" 'Okay, ready' "Romeo Foxtrot Hotel Alpha 1..." "... what?" Simply saying the letters can be very confusing. F & S, M & N, C B D &T, etc can often be misheard. When dealing with addresses, registration plates etc over the phone / radio etc sometimes it is crucial to use the phonetic alphabet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villaajax Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 The fact that because I work in IT my parents think I know EVERYTHING about anything even slightly related to computers or the internet. "Why isn't this website working?!" "Have you tried refreshing the page?" "No... *refreshes page* it's still not working" "Maybe the website is just down" "Why?" "I sent this bloke an email 10 minutes ago and he still hasn't replied!" "Maybe he just hasn't checked his emails yet" "Well he's a f***ing rocket polisher then isn't he!?" *goes and sulks in another room* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When precision is required you need the phonetic alphabet. It is definitely a post worthy of the topic though, it really shouldn't piss you off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
