    Say I was in a helicopter that was been attacked by another helicopter that had missiles and ****, if I rang 999 emergency what service would I ask for?,... Would it be the guards, firemen, mountain rescue etc.??

    Im going on a helicopter ride for my birthday but I want to know who to call for help if the sh1t hits the fan... or rotor blade. Well that's a lie but out of curiousity I was just wondering who would be there to help haha.

    Have your local undertakers number handy, it's the only one you'll need if that bird goes down.:)

    I think it's unlikely you will need anything but in the unlikely event that something should happen then I wouldn't worry about calling for help, it's to late in seconds you will be dead. Happy Birthday though!

    Also take something for the stomach they lurch when they take off and the two times I had to go on one I felt like my stomach was back there on the ground

    That number doesn't work. If I was really being attacked I could have died because of you.


    Only messing about the birthday part hahaha!

    I did think of ringing chuck norris to sort it out but if it was Demba Ba flying the evil helicopter Chuck wouldn't be much good, would he now!

    Well Mr Bond, I would ring the direct line straight through to "Q".

    FFS, you don't ring anyone. You improvise a weapon and jump onto the evil chopper, punch through the glass, pull the pilot out, kill the other occupants while cracking bad jokes and land it safely after you reassure and ravish the beautiful female hostage they had.

    Jesus, it's like you never flew in a helicoptor before or something!

    Ask to be put through to the RAF as the lads in the Air Corps, highly qualified as they are; would unfortunately have to go through mountains of red tape to be authorised to carry live air-to-air ammunition on their aircraft.

    So you'd be pretty dead by then.

    You have the right of way. Roll down the window and get the offending pilots insurance details and insist on seeing his crafts air worthiness certificate.

    Make sure to take down his registration and look around for witnesses. The last step is really important as the last time this happened to me the insurance company said it was difficult to ascertain who was in the wrong and awarded the other pilot 50% of the damages.

    Hope this helps.

    Wait a second, a helicopter....aahhh ffs

    My landlord died in helicopter crash, and he was instructor. Most likely, you won't have time even to realise that you shat yourself.

    Well, I wouldn't say fan, but I'm glad he retained a little of what I taught him.

    You have a bad feeling? Nothing to the one he is clearly having I suspect he will be stopping at the chemist on the way to get some adult nappies

    You choose your 66th post to jest about death. A bad omen, OP, a bad omen.
