A busy first 15 minutes of "night" at a flight training airport...
Ground, GABC, on the apron looking for taxi instructions for circuits, information Echo.
GABC, Ground, The circuit is full, I can wait list you if you want, you'll be number one.
Ground, GABC Roger.
--- A pour soul is left to control both twr/gnd frequencies, clearly doing his best in a busy circuit (already full) ---
Ground, GABC, can I do my run-up?
GABC, Ground, roger, the apron is uncontrolled, run-up at your discretion...
--- (A bunch more calls are made to accommodate the busy circuit) 2 minutes later ---
Ground, GABC...
GABC, Ground, standby...
(pilot pauses 30 seconds, chirps in at first short break)
Ground, GABC, How much longer do you think it will be?!?
GABC, Sorry I'm not a fortune teller, I will CALL YOU when a space opens up!
---silence from the pilot then on, unfortunately I departed and missed the rest of the exchanges, if any
