HI mine is more a tail of horror

Two years ago we went to Blackpool EGNH on a nice clear day, 10knt winds so not too bumpy. For a half hour flight in a PA28, I taxied to runway 25 and waited for a 150/172 to do a touch-n-go on runway 28, I took off and headed out to sea, turning right (northish), my children and better half were in the back enjoying the view. We turned again to the right the instructor showed me how to slow the plane down and let me do it. He radioed the tower and we cleared to land, we were just about to turn onto final when I looked to my left  I looked at a 737!!! I told the instructor what I saw just as the tower told the 737 to go around my instructor took control banked hard right and away radioing the tower telling them what he he'd done. The 737 landed, I then took control did a 360 turn to wait for the turbulance to go the tower told us we were number one for landing, I turned on to final lining up with the runway, just going through 1000ft a plane appears in front and below us, lands, gets a b#ll#cking from the tower, takes off, then I landed for the first time, the instructor did the rudder work!!! I forgot (only the third time up) Wendy and the kids didn't know about the 737 until me and the instructor were talking about it on the to the club house.
Sorry it's so long but I thought you might like it! ;D

Nice pun. :) Remind me not to go near Blackpool any time soon. ::)

I would call it mildly offensive & I've seen plenty worse. Zeberdee obviously thought it might offend someone, hence the asterisks. I have no idea what it means in the US but imagine it's much the same as here. ;)

Can't say I blame you. UKians. ::) Now that's a new one on me. How would you pronounce it? Uckians seem how a lot you chaps over the puddle think of us. Doesn't bother me in the slightest but Brits is more usual. :P ;)

As for the word in question it describes what bullocks no longer have. :o It can be used as a mild expletive (oh b******s) or a substitute for nonsense - as in a load of of b******s. In the context Zeberdee used it in this thread it means a telling off. I'm sure you're delighted I explained that. :D

We both had clearence!!! The 737 was clear to land when he was nine miles away. I remember talking to the instructor about this and he said when the tower gave the 737 clearence he thought it will be tight.

I must admit when I saw the 737 so close my backside was going shilling-sixpence-shilling-sixpence, but we missed and live to tell the tail.

Thanks Hagar for clearing that one up.
