We'll have to question our resident pilot on the state of his facial topiary! Anyway, i hope not as i've heard there is the occasional female pilot to be found 🤣😂

That reminds me of that old joke from my time in Austria:

Empress Maria Theresa of Austria-Hungary abolished torture and introduced compulsory education.

This begs two question:

1) Where'd the torturers go?

2) Where'd she get the teachers?

Just found a metal plate in a brownie that I wanted to eat while working on those photoshop projects. Not the surprise I needed this evening...

Gremlinertia

A metal fcuking plate? Yikes 😯

thomil

Yep, and not a small one either. Was part of my DropChef package for this week. I've already shot off a rather terse email to them. Let's see how they react.

Still upside down. WHY??? 🤬🤬🤬

No, February is about right.

Mid term is next week so it has to be before that usually as correctors correct them next week.

I'm fighting to stay awake here. The thoughts of going out to collect him.

I'll have my pyjamas on under a coat 😁 Hopefully I won't get a break down 😬

I remember going into school on Saturday morning of the St Patrick's weekend to sit my English mock so things have changed a great deal since then.

In this part of the world about 90% of men have facial hair, so that includes pilots :):)

The reasoning behind them not having facial hair is to make sure that the oxygen mask fits properly and for those who added wax to tie face hair, there was a chance of fire as it interacted with the oxygen.

At home under the supervision of the maid, he is a garbage bin, took and ate 2 apples from the kitchen table today when she wasn’t looking. He still is skin and bones so I guess that the kennels didn’t feed them too much.

OH returns on Monday night and will meet him for first time. This will be interesting.

Gremlinertia

Well at least he went for something healthy! Going to have to Blue-proof the house

Watching The Late Late valentines special and I can not stop the laughing 😂 My little valentine is here snoring 😴 😄

Aww bless him. Is he a big snorer??

For a small dog he has a loud snore 😄

Gremlinertia

He likes to let everyone know he's there even when asleep 🤣🐶😴

Ms G's Junior Cert mocks are after the mid term. I should know. The fooking drama is epic. Any disco is most likely a mid term thing. Thankfully Ms G hasn't expressed interest yet in attending one. If it was school based I'd encourage her but in these parts it's a midweek gig in a night club. Skirts up their arses and lads in tracksuit bottoms and fook all supervision. Two girls in her year are out since Christmas, pregnant. Progress? Nope.

Gremlinertia

There were dozens with kids or pregnant in my LC year

No excuse these days Grem. Young lives getting fast forwarded into old lives. I've been there in my college years. Early 90s. Mrs G was there in 1988. Back then it was a whole different ball game through the church and it's influence on accessing contraception.

Gremlinertia

Access to contraception of any sort was indeed extremely difficult alright

You had to go to the Virgin Megastore for condoms and there would be RTE and priests and nuns trying to catch you !

I was too innocent at the time. And anyway the Sega Megadrive, Super Nintendo and Gameboy games were on the stand opposite.

😁😁😁

Staying up late to try and prolong the weekend here. Also postponing Saturday morning stuff ! Cat is doing his meditation on the back of the couch. He doesn't snore at all. Everyone gone to bed. It's just peaceful and quiet at this time.

Edit ...

Ridiculous country back in 1989 ... Even ridiculous still ... But this takes the biscuit

Sitting in Penang Airport waiting to fly to Langkawi. Both are Malaysian Islands. Georgetown in Penang is a historic and arty city, Langkawi is cheap drink and beaches. Whoohooo.

May do all my drinking in Langkawi because my next stop is Singapore where will have to sell my kidneys to buy a few drinks.

You'll have to rustle up a few new VIP mates 🤣

Feck getting pregnant, you'll eventually make your way through a difficult situation.

However HIV /aids was ripping through the gay population at the time and that was a death sentence, and a horrible death at that.

The 80's were very bleak for alot of people on many different levels.
