That was 2006 according to my photo albums. I'm not surprised you don't remember it, it was also the year that this happened.....
Aaanyways. Still ATC, yes (it was AD arrivals, not approach) - have been off the air for the last year while on secondment elsewhere in the company, but you should hear my disembodied voice floating around the airwaves again from about June.
And yes, I met my first real air traffic controller through contact via the YSSY board. They proved an excellent help in preparing for the interview and while I was training. A very useful resource, this forum!
