...
I work for a fairly large UK based company, doing stuff with planes. In times past, as is customary in airports, we...

1) ... made a Jackass video. Only about three or four minutes long, but throwing yourself down stairs takes practise.

2) ... went bin surfing - heading out to the aircraft baggage ULD storage area, and... well... surfing.

3) ... went powersliding trucks. More my doing than the others, but I like a bit of lunacy.

4) ... made robot suits out of cardboard boxes and going out in the van wearing them.

5) ... watched porn on the DVD.

6) ... got round the internet filters... and watching porn/bebo/b3ta on there too.

7) ... on the rare occasions of snow, rearranging the bins to have snowball fights.

8) ... drove around aimlessly, wasting diesel, on the premise that we were "checking the runway was still under the van".

9) ... stuck babybells to the ceiling and drew happy faces on them.

10) ... stapled or hide anything anyone left lying about to the ceiling, or in the light boxes.

In fact, come to think about it, we even did other people's work to pass the boredom. Now we have comfy chairs in the office and normally spend quite a lot of time sleeping...

NATS?

3) ... went powersliding trucks.
Is that the sort of thing that leads to interesting incidents like this?
