Day one back in work is always a pain in the hole after a break but when I arrive for the crew briefing a pretty great crew greets me. There is no sign of the Captain and when I ask if anyone knows him, I don’t recognise his name, they shrug and one of them starts to giggle. I’m very confused and when I ask … Continue reading The Art of Distraction
I had such a good time at home last week that being just 25 minutes flight time from home this week filled me with a hunger for pints. However, the one-day turn around that we are subjected to makes going for a coffee the safest option. So, I looked up the best coffee shop in Manchester and found Takk. The suggestion that hipsters populate it … Continue reading The Pineapple Express
I have always been a very open minded person and I have always sought to not offend anyone – except my friends. Friends get abused daily, but that’s cool when you know their feelings are not being hurt etc. I would never intentionally hurt a person’s feelings and if I knew that they had been triggered I would clearly apologise immediately. But what if … Continue reading Full Fat Social Justice
Being home last week was great but I’m pretty sure my teeth are going to be the colour of a basketball due to all the coffee that I was drinking. Teeth whitening is something I have never even considered to be honest but I can see why people would do it. I started looking around me at the older folk in my life (those … Continue reading Snow White and Tooth Fairy
I have been back in Dublin just a few days and I can’t say enough about how much I love this city. Simple things like a decent cup of coffee are hard to come by in the desert so I am thankful to be home. Telling my sick Dad to give me a break to write this seems kind of mean, but it was just … Continue reading The Battle of Jakarta
I’ve got to admit that the whole blog writing enterprise took a bit of a dive recently when my personal life became a bit more hectic. It’s not a case of going to yoga 10 times a week and no time for writing (I’ve been going three times a week), but I did have a family bereavement and thus I’ve not been feeling creative. … Continue reading Sausage Party
Since I collapsed on the flight deck and proved that the coffee diet I invented is one of my finest moments to date, I have in fact been to a number of yoga classes. Fitting it in around a roster that has me going East and West like an explorer in the middle ages is tough and although I decided against the yoga pants … Continue reading The Force Is Strong On The Flight Deck
It’s a new year and it’s a new me! Well, that’s what I’m trying to convince myself of as I sit here bored off my tits at 35’000 feet. I definitely consumed too much food and drink over Christmas and I am severely bloated as a result. My uniform pants are feeling way tighter than they should and I’m starting to wish I caught the … Continue reading New Year, New Me?
For some reason Craig has a Samsung Galaxy Note 7 “phablet” and he is yet to send it back to be fixed. Effectively he has a WMD in his pants that were it to explode would blow his dick off. Obviously he would have to fit it into his front pocket first, but the threat remains. He’s not allowed have it on the airplane which … Continue reading New York Hot Pocket
Making my way to Head Office to discuss my inappropriate use of the fire test system inflight proved to be a shittier day than I had expected. They basically read me the riot act. In honesty, I feel that’s a little harsh but I couldn’t defend it as a revenge project because that would be pretty unprofessional. Thankfully they’re letting me stay on the … Continue reading Go Pro No-No
