Funny snippet heard on scanner:

Terminal controller Midhurst sector: Virgin 9983 London
Virgin 9983: Yes
Terminal controller: I understand you have the World Cup squad on board?
Virgin 9983: Yes we do
Terminal controller: I have been asked to say that Theo Walcott sends his best regards and wishes the team good luck in the tournament
Virgin 9983: Roger that, I'll pass it on!

Good to see that ATC have a sense of humour!
