In companies building military kit, this is the "international standard" someone is sent to fetch/read/research if they bodge a job. MIL-TFD-1111 stands for "Make It Like - The F***ing Drawing - 4 Ones (for once)"; a variation is MIL-TFD-4111.

A Dutch junior clerk took a taxi (instead of the usual bike) to go fetch a coupon rake (a heavy and unwieldy piece of iron given to him by another branch of the bank, something impossible to cycle with!) a b c d e f g h i Nimmervoll, Ed; Greg Macainsh.

Finally, if there is nowhere to hang the support or you are unable to get a fixing overhead, the support can be fixed through the side fixing hole enabling the cables to be supported whilst being kept off the floor and because the support has a twist in the lower half of it the cables can easily be attached. A "Fools Errand" is the practical joke of sending a person to fetch some non-existent but plausible sounding item. The joke is usually played at work on a new employee or apprentice and its effectiveness depends on the naivete of the victim. Here are some of the more common Fools Errands. There are hundreds of such errands; many are specific to particular occupations. Many of the objects are non-existent items. Others really do exist, but not in the context of the occupation where they are set as a fool's errand e.g. fallopian tubing makes sense to a doctor, but not to a plumber. Many errands rely on an apprentice being overwhelmed by technical jargon; as long as the errand or object sounds plausible, he assumes it to be yet more jargon.

In early September 2001, a beachside funeral was attended by Strachan's family and friends, including Skyhooks' guitarist, Red Symons, and radio colleagues, Gary Belcher and Dean Miller. [25] His ashes were scattered into the sea from a helicopter by his wife, Sue. [25] New students at certain posh British colleges were urged very seriously to leave a urine sample outside the Principal's Office on arrival. No containers were provided, resulting in a surreal element to this prank/errand. a b c Bogar, Thomas J.; Bangham, Michal E.; Forward, Robert L.; Lewis, Mark J. (7 January 2000).

Triple M Brisbane, Strachan's former employer, held a day-long on-air tribute to him on the day after his death. Old archived audio was played on air. An episode of the Australian Broadcasting Corporation documentary Long Way to the Top featuring Skyhooks was broadcast on the day of his death: it was dedicated to his memory. On 10 September, Channel Nine broadcast a tribute episode of Our House, "Our House – Memories of Shirl", with content filmed in the weeks before his death, along with archival footage. [26] It was the most-watched program on that night, with 2.19million viewers. [27] In video games, a somewhat fictionalized interpretation of the Skyhook forms a core gameplay mechanic in Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker and Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain.

This resulted in a Shuttle-based tether system: the TSS-1R mission, launched 22 February 1996 on STS-75 that focused in characterizing basic space tether behavior and space plasma physics. [13] The Italian satellite was deployed to a distance of 19.7km (12.2mi) from the Space Shuttle. [13]
