What is hacking you off today?

[Yorkshire Blue]

This is going well, half hour in and not one cyclist. Haven-'t even seen one let alone one showing an interest.

Have you tried looking in your wing-mirrors?

Whoever wrote that letter sounds like a ****.

No wonder that kids' parents cut them off. Having a strop because someone took 24 hours to respond to a text makes you sound like a 14 year old girl.

Do you know many 14 year old girls?

Was browsing the internet on my phone on the train.

Followed a link from a Guardian CIF post and got an embarassing porn popup.

Those of us that keep the world running are up at 5 every day.

Unfortunately this mornings early start came with a hangover.

Just stabbed myself badly in the palm of my hand with a pencil in a freak accident at work.

Finding out that the world is kept running by people who still use pencils

The **** in Finchley this morning who cut right across me after I'd pulled over to let an ambulance through

Some of us live in walking distance from work and can usually get up at 7.30 and still get in on time. :winking:

The advantages of working frm home a lot means I can get up at 8.59 and still get in on time. :smile:

More of a challenge since we started using video conferencing though!

Had my flying medical this morning. My appointment was at 8.20 and it's a 35 minute drive to the surgery where I have it done. I decided to leave a bit early just in case of traffic. So I left at 8.05!

I completely got my timings wrong, and turned up late. Thankfully all went well though. I also had to take my car to an accident repair place about 2 minutes from the surgery. (In the wind last week a piece of wood was blown onto my car and dented it.)

So, I dropped the car in, and then went home, having been asked if I had left anything important in the car. Of course I hadn't, I'm too sensible for that. Except when I got home I remembered that I had left my house keys in the car!

I then had to walk to my wife's work (only about 5 minutes away) to pick up her car (yes she drove to work!) and drive all the way back to the garage to pick up my keys, and then I had to drop the car back with my wife and then walk home.

So, in summary what has hacked me off today?

1. Being an idiot and leaving late for my appointment.
2. My car needing a dent knocked out.
3. Being an idiot and leaving my keys in my car.

Basically I'm hacked off at being an idiot!

(In fairness to my wife she drove because she's not coming home after work, she's going to Costco to pick up a whole load of stuff for the school xmas fair.)

Just so as I'm clear here LB, you're physically fit enough to be a qualified pilot, but you don't have to pass a 'Not an idiot' test, is that right?

Pretty much, yeah!

Cool. Stay out of Turkish air space then, ok?

Actually, when you plan a flight even in the UK this is what you get at the moment:

"As a result of the unrest within the territory and airspace of Ukraine..."

"Hazardous situation Afghanistan. Potential risk to aviation overflying Kabul FIR [Flight Information Region]"

"Hazardous situation egypt. Potential risk to aviation in north Sinai..."

"Hazardous situation iraq..."

"Hazardous situation libya..."

"Hazardous situation pakistan..."

"Hazardous situation syria..."

"Hazardous situation yemen..."

"Hazardous situation south sudan..."

And all that just because I want to fly up to Cranfield...
