Welcome to the suck.

Luckily he managed to find a gas engineer that will come out at 530, but i now have no heating or electricity…its prehistoric i tell you!

[Biggles_Lovechild]

I have no heating!!!
…but thats the Supreme Commanders choice - she says it will keep her looking young and not dry out her skin.

I don’t think my Hive has recorded more than 17.5C all winter

There are people out there genuinely theorising that she’s dead. It’s just ridiculous and is another reason we shouldn’t entrust the general public with either the vote or a seat on a jury.

How very totalitarian of you.

That’s the absolute max I’ll have it here (tightwad Yorkshireman). If you’re cold when it’s that temperature you can wear a jumper or oodie.

Not that anyone listens to me lol

How very totalitarian of you.

Nothing in the last 20 years has led me to have much faith in people.

@XRSO

All this ridiculous speculation about our Honorary Air Commandant, The Princess of Wales. Whatever is going on is not a secret, it’s just private.

Mine hasn’t been above that, and only that high when the mood takes me.

[WhiskeyNovember]

I’m on an oil boiler, so that’s also about as high as I have the temperature too - but mostly because it costs me a minimum of £350 to get more oil if I run out.

Working a night tonight, so got up relatively early to facilitate a pre-work nap. Took Baby Daws1159 with me and left Mrs Daws1159 in bed.

Massive telling off for not waking her up so we didn’t get any family time. Apparently my worrying about the fact she had gotten up at 0300 & 0600 and that she never gets a lie in is really irritating!

Nah, Malpenda not bad

Malpensa wouldnt know helpful vectoring if it was life dependent!

Arrivals - sure ok.
Dept - what the actual… hot, heavy and high… and here, whats this… short cuts on a SID to support incomings…
Negative, we would like the full SID thanks.

Agreed though… Naples…
No clues going on there.

Well, luckily, even at max take-off weight, we normally didn’t have any performance issues. Only once or twice had to say “unable” for short cuts to make minimum altitude on a departure.

Arrivals? Like Geneva, if a short cut was offered, even when replying “affirmative” on the radio, hand was already pulling the speed brake level to cater for the reduction in track miles / need to haul back the speed. Always mentioned it to new guys on the fleet during arrival briefing for there - this is the special Geneva lever!
