What is hacking you off today?

You should take it as a compliment that your daughter thought you rational enough not to want pointless information.

Unless you are picking her up from the airport, you have absolutely no need for her flight numbers.

She's an adult living her own life. Let her enjoy it and stop worrying about it: you'll feel much better not to obsess over such trivial things.

Unfortunately, as a mother, you can never understand what I have felt. Now she is there and safe, things are fine. It is a temporary "need" while they're in transit.

From tragic experience I can say with certainty that there are benefits to knowing exactly which flight your friend/relative/loved one is on.

My mate had to sack someone for abusing that.

Sacking someone is no fun. But I'd have been happy to have done that one.

depends what they have done, I've rather enjoyed it on a couple of occasions.

Indeed. I had some little scrote tell me he had been diagnosed with cancer, had fake doctor's letters and even turned up back at work with his head shaved after getting months of paid time off, which we had pushed for, even though he wasn't entitled to it as a new employee. A recruitment agent I had been, erm, close to, told me that he had rocked up there during his 'cancer' looking for temp work. I enjoyed sacking that little *******.

I am not above a little trolling and ****posting, as you well know, but this just reeks of an OBL wind up and a rather unsavoury one at that. When my Mum and Dad came to visit this summer, they gave me their flight numbers. Online tools help you see where they are in the air during a long flight, and reassure you that all is well. These are my parents, not my children and I don't see it as an obsession over trivialities.

Ah, he does sound awful. I've only done a few but no-one has been anywhere near that league of ****ehawkery.

Not a wind-up at all.

It's genuine advice to only worry about things you can control. It's not as if you'd be in a position to do anything if they are in the air anyway.

The best thing to do is not think about it because thinking about it is causing OBL stress. Letting go of things you don't control and cause you stress puts you in a far better mental mindset.

Yeah I think that Hillary's getting annoyed with that too.

I had to sac a thief once who was doing building work for me. We were suspicious so sent him to the van for something having left a marked £10 note in the parking change in the ash tray. Which of course he pocketed. Couldn't have him going into peoples houses. Ended up in a big Barney with his family that we knew.

In more recent times Futures college asked to place a few with us. When I sacked one after 4 days the guy asked me why. I had to explain the 3 golden rules for young lads....Don't be late, don't be gobby and don't spend all day on your phone. This lad had excelled in all 3.

The bus that forced me over causeing a 65 plate Ford Ranger to require surgery for a new mirror, which I have to pay for. How many ****ing lanes do you need, ********.

My wife went to a large presentation where the presenter had mistakenly added Disco C*nt instead of Discount in the title.

They're six. It's their birthday. They're super excited. I get that.

A former colleague and friend of mine who booked Kev's taxi last night for a pick up at 1. Changed it to 2, then kept him waiting for half an hour. Someone was being sick in the back of the cab, and someone decided to eat sausage rolls in it. Fortunately a sensible adult had a plastic bag and caught the majority of the sick, there was still a lot of mess, not least sausage roll crumbs everywhere.

Kev's just spent an hour cleaning it up. I messaged my friend to say it was a bit off how the cab had been left, including a couple of photos, and explaining that anyone else would have expected them to pay the local soilage rate (£60 here) and she's gone off on one and blocked me! Safe to say she won't be getting any more cabs locally!
