You screw up just this much, you'll be flying a cargo plane full of rubber dog sh*t out of Hong Kong!
Film4 tonight 9pm, baby oil at the ready
Despite all my attempts to reduce down the amount I'm taking on board a plane, why do my cases still weigh over 35kg???

Despite the fact I haven'y heard it for 25 years, I spent most of this morning whistling the theme tune to Howards Way. Just couldn't get it out of my head
Having no watch fund is getting right on my thrupennies

It's the Festival. Turn your angst into a show & watch the funds roll in. I suggest performing your well known Rab C. Nesbitt
impression ("See watches? Seeeee watches! B*stards, the whole lot a' them!") outside Hamilton & Inches. They make take
pity on you & throw a Patek or such your way.
Alternatively, try selling your arse (again) in Frenchies.

I'm relieved to learn that only 70% of visitors to Gingerism.com feel that gingerism should be recognised as a form of racism.
This afternoon I was sitting in my lounge with the doors to the balcony open when I became aware of the noise of an aircraft approaching. As it came closer I thought that it sounded a bit Merlin-esque, so I went out on to the balcony just as a Lancaster flew over! Fantastic!
As far as I'm aware, the only Lancaster still flying is the one from the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight - is that right?
Although no trees were harmed during the creation of this post, a large number of electrons were greatly inconvenienced.
Just had my two front tyres changed on the car. A bargain at £360!!
I also now know that the back two are also virtually bald, so I am a 'tad miffed' that Audi didnt think to tell me about the back ones too after the recent bloody service!!
Dilemma... wait til the Silverstone sells THEN buy the Panerai, or buy the Panerai and worry about selling the Silverstone later?
I was going to say that there's another in Canada. Checked Wiki and I'm correct:
There are 17 known largely complete Avro Lancasters remaining in the world with two airworthy; of the latter two, one is based in the UK, operated by The Battle of Britain Memorial Flight and the other is in Canada, operated by the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum.

One hour to fit a sel bracelet back on to a watch.
Possibly the most frustrating exercise EVER.
Golf tomorrow, as captain I have to tell my society that a member is critical on a life support machine. I wish I had a funny joke to tell instead. I'll try to keep it positive!
M5 is quiet at 4 am.
Birmingham airport not so quiet at 5am.
Dithering holidaymakers with single digit IQ.
Any liquids in your hand luggage?
No.
What's this then? Go back through.
Oh, where did input my passport?
Etc.
I need my 1st coffee of the day.

That gets me every time. 5 minutes in the queue, then its their turn and they prepared nothing: start emptying their pockets, mess around with jacket and belt, find out they forgot a bag for their liquids and finally start a discussion about their bottled water. Grrrhhhhh, grow up.
...and now I wish I hadn't.
Currently watching celebrity big brother's bit on the side... Emma Willis, nice!
Its my last day in my old job today - very strange feeling
I had that at George Best Airport a month or so ago, was treated like i'd passed a bomb through the machine when they put me to one side, then asked why i hadn't put my olbas oil inhaler stick in a bag, honestly, firstly it's not in liquid form, secondly, it was bought at the bloody airport as i get sinus trouble when flying sometimes, but the way they act you'd think it was a huge security issue.

Credit card 'disguise' envelopes -- why are they so easily recognisable?

I just don't get London. I have to go there once a week and I find all so mindless, depressing and over-hyped.
Thank god I don't have to live there.

I drove through it in 1990 having missed the M2 turn off for the Dartford tunnel, as it was then. 11pm. Lots of fancy drumming from a street band in Piccadilly Circus but apart from that it's just a..., well I agree. Not for me.
London? I don't think I've been there since 1985 (although we landed at Heathrow once in the nineties to have an in flight
fatality taken off the plane).
Can't say I've any urge to go back.

A man who tires of London is tired of living!
Apparently...
I still like it anyway... a visit every two to three months or so reminds me I'm normal!
Why do country-folk find London so bewildering?
;-)
Because its an over populated, over rated, filty, tramp ridden, selfish bastard strewn shit hole, and they can't quite believe that so many people would be so tied up in the lie that is the publicised view of London, and actually live there. Here. You know what i mean!
And unfortunately for me I live "there" too. Hate it.
I was just about to Disclose something Random, but somehow it doesn't really fit with the last couple of posts.
Maybe I should come back another time with the intersting info about the ham in my lunchtime sandwich......
Frankfurt airport's mission statement: "We aim to be ever so slightly less sh;te than Heathrow".
Just about to head off for a 15-hour car trip.
Good call

This one is real - struck me as VERY random whilst out snapping pics in Copenhagen.
I did think a caption competition would be fun :)

May be about to do something which will either make or destroy my entire life...
I've just had cod, chips and gravy from here http://www.yelp.co.uk/biz/fish-hut-manchester
It was fantastic.
