Congradulations. I heard... that in the future... at air-port security, they will have devices that will be able to see through peoples clothing.
I want to work as airport security, there is a lot of molestering going on as we speak in air-ports already - it can only get better. |

Congrats Shine. Good luck getting people to fill out those ten page reference forms.
Are you honest when no one's looking? Can you summon honey from a telephone? They sat there with their hooks in the water and their mustaches caked with airplane glue. |

Good for you. Meanwhile, I am wracking my brain trying to remember who I used to know who did that. Damn... someone I knew was an air traffic controller. Had oodles of days off followed by intense days off. Plus, I can't recall the name of that movie with Billy Bob Thornton. Brain fart moment. Anyway, congrats!

I've never been in an actual ATC tower but have watched trainees during their long sessions in sims...it was intense! Shine, tell us how intense it is...anything like we've seen in film or is it (likely) moreso?
speaking of Pushing Tin, how many movies can you name with Air Traffic Controllers in 'em? Close Encounters of the third Kind (opening scene!) Airplane P.Tin ... |

LOL
shine, congrats. I wrote a poem inspired by your next job:
So many destination faces going to so many places Where the weather is much better And the food is so much cheaper. Well I help her with her baggage for her baggage is so heavy I hear the plane is ready by the gateway to take my love away. And I can't believe that she really wants to leave me and it's getting me so, It's getting me so.
Airport - Airport, you've got a smiling face, you took the one I love so far away Fly her away Fly her away Airport Airport, you've got a smiling face You took my lady to another place Fly her away Fly her away
The plane is on the move, And the traces of the love we had in places Are turning in my mind - how I wish I'd been much stronger For the wheels are turning faster as I hear the winds are blowing and I know that she is leaving On the jet plane way down the runaway. And I can't believe that she really wants to leave me - and it's getting me so, It's getting me so.
Airport - Airport, you've got a smiling face, you took the one I love so far away Fly her away Fly her away Airport Airport, you've got a smiling face You took my lady to another place Fly her away Fly her away

Best wishes shine, and congrats.!
I just hope they don't go screwing the traffic controllers in Canada like Reagan did here in the 80s. I know it was "necessary for National Security" etc etc, butthey deserved better. Very underappreciated job, imho.
Anyway, it's hard to believe they can make sense of those jumbled moving dots and lines that look more like a solid field of green. It'll be good to know someone of your integrity has got his eyes on the ball. |

Congratulations Shine, I have a friend that has that job, the bad thing about it is that he can't drink some hours before he goes to work.
The greatest thing, you'll ever learn, is just to love, and be loved in return. |

I have to eek out a hated "lol" for that one, shine.
I guess the pay worries in the 80s here in the US haven't been an issue in the great land up north (I'm showing my age I guess). Good on ya. |

So I checked "busted" at urbandictionary.com as I always do and it has a lot of definitions, all of which are quite pejorative.
<<1. busted A way to describe a very ugly female, who can barely be described as female. A "busted" female is not even considered for Mercy Sex simply because they are so ugly.
4. busted To be unatrractive, lame, or boring.
6. busted To be completely without currency, cash, dough, cheese ect
8. busted An ugly unnatractive male.
12. busted Being caught red-handed.
13. busted ugly as hell female.
16. busted 1)to be cougth doing something your not soppose to be doing 2)Past tense of broken 3)A boy band that have started a whole line of new age boy bands that play there own instruments
18. busted messed up, ugly, raggedy, torn>>
etc, etc.

2. busted Caught.
3. busted past tense of jizzing.
5. Busted A band who had possibly one catchy song called 'Year 3000' or something. Their biggest fans are girls who don't really have a clue about good music they're just caught out by their supposed good looks. It has been rumoured they don't even play their own guitars. Busted also spawned another band called McFly which I swear to god do exactly the same songs as Busted which isn't surprising since Busted write their songs and are their best mates. Anyway Busted could be appealing to some, but not people who like proper guitar music. See crap Also see McFly
7. busted a really lame band who i hate. Sure, what i went to school for was mildly amusing, but then it was jumped on by screaming ten year olds and was ruined... My brother loves them (well, loved, they split up), and spent ages insisting that they were real rock, which they aren't they are just lazy pathetic pseudo-pop rubbish who wouldn't know rock if it jumped up and down in front of them naked. And now the lead singer wants to make it in an emo band. He's an idiot with no commercial sense, because he has angered the girl-brigade who made him rich, so they won't buy his new stuff, and the people who he is trying to impress already hate him due to busteds rubbishness... so yeah, thats busted... i hate busted, they are really lame...
9. busted Two words - Utter shit. THANK GOD THEY BROKE UP!!! Unfortunately, our ears are still plagued by Charlie who categorically refuses to stay off Top of the Pops for more that two weeks. So what he does is form a new band, called Fightstar. Be very, very afraid. Whatever they say, I still think that the name "Busted" is a corruption of th word "bastard" which is entirely appropriate. Charlie, ditch the eyebrow pencil. You look like a kappa-slapper. Actually, you probably are one.
10. busted An ugly unnatractive male.
11. busted Having large breasts, usually in reference to a women. Used in conjunction with other definitions of 'busted' as a modifier i.e. 'Double-Busted' That girl has some bounce with her ounce! You've got to hit that Double-Busted chick or you won't have any chance tonight!
14. busted A great band made up of 3 guys just havin a good time. Charlie(Guitar), James(Guitar)n Matt(Bass) maybe they dont include the drummer in the band but they DO have a drummer- Dammon. They may like Rock bands but that doesnt mean they want 2 be 1 they Know they r a POP band and they are PROUD! Busted= Been compared an ealy version of Blink 182 who slowly began 2 be more Rock so if Busted hadnt of Split maybe they would of as well.
15. Busted A shitty cheesy op rock band who attempt to copy BLINK 182 when in all honesty they have no chance of doing with such lyrics as "I messed my pants when we flew over france" give me a break you teenage helmet party drop outs. Busted are fucking shit.
17. busted busted, it's two o damn clock in the morning where you been? baby didn't you get my two-way, i was with my girl friends. an awesome isley brothers song
19. busted A boyband who, after an extensive career spanning 2 years, split up in January 2005. Busted exploited the punk scene for commerial success and profit, wearing skater clothes and producing unoringinal pop songs which were based around a pop-punk sound, aiming their music at 12 year old girls who have no taste in music. One member of the 'band' (who incidently had no drummer) even admitted to copying billy-joe armstong from Greenday. Busteds defining moment was their cover of the undertones' classic teenage kicks, which was quite frankly an insult to the aforementioned band and an embararrasment to all who witnessed this tragic event. It has been rumoured that since the split, the band have become pringfolds although this is yet to be confirmed. In their hit single 'Year 3000' Busted claimed that their next door neighbour had been to the year 3000 in a time machine and that everyone had bought their 7th album. Some people may doubt this claim, but but if its true then a logical conclusion would be that the band will one day reform, since they only released 2 albums. We can only hope they were lying.
20. busted Brit Pop at it's worst
21. Busted A crap english manufactued POP group that 1. Mime 2. Pretend to play instruments 3. Dress like people they deffintly aren't 4. Think people will remember them in the year 3000 when no one will now of them by 2006 and they'll have to go on some program like i'm a celebratiy...... or some crap five program just to make the public remember that what we arent missing and try and earn themsevles a record conract and release a single no one will buy 5. try to impersinate and copy well established bands like BLINK 182and AC/DC 6. target the gullibly music markets that is the teenie-boppers and pre-teens 7. Along with there bumchums McFly are responsible for the diminidhing record sell that are stoping the breakthrough of decent british bands mindwashed child :- i love busted there so good cause they cna jump play guitar and sing Any other Person:- shut the f**k up you mindless teenie-booper who is responsable for ruining the british music industrie just when decent new bands are coming through
22. busted (adj.) weird-looking, ugly, not attractive
23. busted horrendously ugly; violently deformed.
24. Busted A person having any of these characteristics: unattractive, unclean, and overall unpleasant to look at, is BUSTED!
25. busted ugly, nasty, tore up
26. busted ugly
27. busted 1. Caught, by parents, teachers, cops, etc. 2. Devirginized
28. Busted 1. To play an instraument out of tune or pretend to play an instraument 2. To be ugly 3. To annoy a large amount of people
29. busted being extremely intoxicated from alcohol beverages
30. busted An extremely agitating and talentless 'punk' band consisting of three English fags who can't seem to sing without putting on a fake, annoying American accent. Every song they do is utter shite and they should really just fuck off and die along with their 10 year old fans. busted, fuck off and die. 31. Busted A bunch of goons who thought at the beginning of there crappy lives they would grow large eyebrows and be a classy rockband but because they sucked as a rock band they thought they would be a pop band. Not only does their music suck but they give no credit to there shitty drummer. (There'll probably be some busted bummers who disagree though). busted: Hi I'm Chipmunk (Matt), I'm Eyebrows (charlie) and I'm nobhead(guy who's name I don't know) and we're Busted.
32. busted 1 - to describe any situation wher ethe pigs come and steal your weed and arrest u for it 2 - a crappy pop group
33. Busted complete shite who take great songs I.E teenage kicks and turn them into shite. Also, They do NOT play guitars, they dont have them plugged in, and where is the bass player? on a few occasions they have been surrounded by a circle of drums for *atmosphere* what twonks. Only pre-teenage girls who dream of being rockers like them, and also pre teenagers who have never listened to proper music in there life and only recently stopped admitting to liking pop and hip hop, and now claim they like 'rock'. but they dont, they like shite.
34. Busted Busted = Blink 182 in disguise!!!
35. busted A Band who have good songs but cannot sing at all just check out top of the pops when they perform live!
36. Busted Biggist pile of shite ever to grace the british music industry. Young girls think they are git and rock,although it is ovious they are gay. " did you see busted on TOTP " " yeh there pathetic when they mime those guitars" " o yeh and when they do the stupid jump" "lets go get out guns and look for them" " ok! "

Damn, you're right. They changed the order of the definitions between this morning and now. I'll start again:
1. busted A way to describe a very ugly female, who can barely be described as female. A "busted" female is not even considered for Mercy Sex simply because they are so ugly.
2. busted Caught.
3. busted past tense of jizzing.
4. busted To be unatrractive, lame, or boring.
5. Busted A band who had possibly one catchy song called 'Year 3000' or something. Their biggest fans are girls who don't really have a clue about good music they're just caught out by their supposed good looks. It has been rumoured they don't even play their own guitars. Busted also spawned another band called McFly which I swear to god do exactly the same songs as Busted which isn't surprising since Busted write their songs and are their best mates. Anyway Busted could be appealing to some, but not people who like proper guitar music. See crap Also see McFly Commercial: The new Busted album is out on sale featuring even more strangely contorted faces on the cover! Buy Soon! Only 2.99 'cause it's shit!
6. busted A band that have finally split up. TV: ...Busted have split... Me: w0000000000t! *has party*
7. busted a really lame band who i hate. Sure, what i went to school for was mildly amusing, but then it was jumped on by screaming ten year olds and was ruined... My brother loves them (well, loved, they split up), and spent ages insisting that they were real rock, which they aren't they are just lazy pathetic pseudo-pop rubbish who wouldn't know rock if it jumped up and down in front of them naked.
