I booked my flight to Faro with Jet2 (Nov poker thingy) and I just received an email asking me all sort like do I want to add a bag etc etc. One paragraph tickled me

"Now you're all set to soar to Faro. Isn't it exciting? There's nothing quite like arriving in a different country, with endless opportunities to explore and enjoy your time away."


enjoy my time away - oh the memories  ;D ;D ;D ;D

Back in Chezger after some protracted travel arrangements. Epicness abounded in Yarm and a good time was had by all. They really are a welcoming bunch of people and I look forward to returning. Got to Darlington station today for the 11.37 to Manchester and find that it has been cancelled. I ask advice and am told.

Get the 11.09 to Leeds
Get on a bus replacement service to Huddersfield.
Wait a fecking hour for the 14.01 to Manchester
Sprint for the 14.56 to Chester
Get an extortionate black cab home.

I added the taxi bit of course. Now, on the 11.09 to Leeds Ms Jobsworth tells me I am on the wrong train, I tell her my travel plans, she tells me that the 11.37 is in Darlington waiting at the platform. I enquire as to her clairvoyant skills and why she is not on the stage. She got stroppy I got stroppier and she stormed off to check. She returns in full blown jobsworth mode and tells me I have to terminate at Leeds. Doh numbnuts that is the plan.

Back safe anyway suffering slightly and a fuller report will be forthcoming.

Notes:
Stu never leaves his clothes on
I stacked miss angry twice in the cash (once with 23o)
74 is not the nutz Rodders
Jack found his drinking Mojo on Saturday
Stu loves colouring in
I beat the lovely Lucy at pool (bragging rights for years)
Parmo is the devils concoction.
Etc etc etc

Part of the reason that I am able to take weekend's away with APAT is the fact that I have a work colleague who covers for me in the support function when I am away. The reason I can't make DTD is because Keith is out of the country and therefore can't take my on call. I don't miss many because of his presence and good will.

Now he has decided to retire and leaves the company in June. Houston we may have a problem for a while until we can train someone else up....

Took a half day today because fibre is getting fitted. Now why is it when you are given a time slot of between 1-6pm that it is a given that they will arrive at 5.59pm  ;D

Looking like that now

Triangular flap jacks banned in school

Really, oh come on, but square or rectangular ones are ok and they have 4 corners - it beggars belief
