You know what really grinds my gears? The Gears Strike Back

That’s only a baby.

Just chilling out by the front door, right next to the handle.

You need a cat to chase it

Waited for HQ Home to return home from the Sqn and we moved the sofa out… x3 spiders caught.

All now outside and become IKEA Spiders… (I.E. flatpacked).

This was the little one…

I executed order 66 on a smaller one, when i moved a lost toy that was under the sofa, and it moved…

GMG - had my chip hat in the wardrobe as a memento but it looks like moths or some other evil creature has decided to take a nibble!
Not sentimental enough to get it repaired (would’ve been nice if I ever went back into uniform in the future to have an old piece of kit) but still annoying!

GMG - Wet pants after an afternoon of rescues on a PSI course. Time for the drysuit to go back for a leak test!

Or a sign of old age and you’re blaming the wet suit :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

TBF he did say dry suit, so if it’s old age related it’s more likely to be memory issue forgetting they’re not in a wetsuit than bladder control :wink:

Assembling a thing that needs 4 screws. I only have 3.

Voyage Privé.

Booked a holiday last week for yesterday. Flew out OK, only to discover when we got to the baggage reclaim there was a handler strike in Antalya and so 5 aircraft from Glasgow, Bristol, Gatwick, Stansted and Newcastle were all trying to get stuff from 1 carousel. The Glaswegians waited 2.5 hours, we waited an hour.

Then, Voyage Privé gave only the name of the travel company, which didn’t appear on any boards. Spent £50 so far on calls and data because of Brexit and stupid roaming. Eventually got through to someone who told us a completely different name of provider, with a queue that wasn’t moving and stood between a drunk loudmouth janner and his drunk fisherman friend and a UFC fighting family from West Brom. Of course they got the same minibus as us for 2 hours.

Got to the hotel at 3am. They have no record of our booking. The 24 hour emergency line from VP is open 9am-5pm. The travel insurance i get from Halifax is only 24 hour for medical emergencies, and the other bit isnt open weekends.

Luckily there was somewhere else with space for 1 night which we had to pay for ourselves, but given we got to bed at 4am we missed breakfast.

Finally just about to book a taxi (which we have to pay for then claim back).

I thought we were supposed to be relaxing :cry:

Standard for Ryanair at Stanstead.
