The 10 Commandments (for the club house)

Back from his travels to Omarama Jerry Betbeder sent me this - I believe it adorns the wall in the clubhouse at Omarama

"The 10 Commandments for sitting around the Clubhouse

All those hardy souls who sit here shall obey the following commandments, passed
down from On High

1. Thou shalt greet the Strangers to this land with Warmth
and Enthusiasm, lest verily they perceive thee to be a grumpy sod.

2. Thou shalt pass Judgement of a Righteous Nature on all takeoffs and
landings. Thou mayest resort even unto a Highly – Variable Points System if it
causeth sufficient humour.

3. Thou shalt remain in Contact with the Launch Point via the Radiophonic
Device at all times, lest thine Bollocks answer for it.

4. Thou shalt conduct Conversation and Banter of an Idle Nature and
Righteth the Wrongs of the World, yea verily.

5. Thou shalt, when called upon by the Radiophonic Device, render
Assistance unto the Launch Point in a manner most forthcoming.

6. Thou shalt be of Happy and Sunny Disposition when called upon to render
said Assistance, even if it pains thee.

7. Thou shalt not resort to Discussion of Serious Issues, nor verily
Blaspheme against Bretheren, unless they doth rightly have it coming.

8. Thou shalt render Assistance forthwith and immediately to those Bretheren
Seeking Egress or Lodging for their Flying Contraptions.

9. Thou shalt happily volunteer to go forth into the Wilderness to retrieve
Those Bretheren who have Fallen from Lift.

10. Thou shalt seek Succor in Liquid Refreshment and Manna (though it be
foil-packed) in a manner best becoming, unless there remain a number of
Bretheren at a Significant Altitude or Distance."


Thanks Jerry, perhaps someone will frame it for our clubhouse?
