Not liking Christmas is on a par with believing the earth is flat. I am not one of these people, I love Christmas and I love spending it with my family despite the fact that my brother in law is a bit of a pain in the arse. We do a standard Christmas day in our house and in a surprising turn of events … Continue reading Christmas Puke-Pot
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
Having gotten over the failure to launch on Halloween weekend I’m heading to Bangkok for a few days. Flying with a decent crew; Jim is a pretty superb Captain, he misses the odd thing but so do I and sure that’s why there are two of us. We had talked about the chances of thunderstorms or CBs, that’s “cumulonimbus clouds” to the uninitiated, on … Continue reading Crosswind Concentration

Thankfully they’re letting me stay on the … Continue reading Go Pro No-No
A week before the Rio trip I check my roster and I’m flying with a pretty decent crew. I get onto them straight away, and I’m making sure they know I’m trying to score one of the cabin crew girls. I’ve been waiting for an opportunity to fly with her for months after it got exceptionally flirtatious on a trip to New York. We … Continue reading Caipirihnas & Speedos
It has been a long week and I do not mean that in a good way. I had to go to the doctor with some major medical concerns. Now I don’t mind the doctors all that much but my concerns were real and you know some things you just have to take seriously. I’m heading to Rio tomorrow for a few nights – you … Continue reading Zika May Cause Embarrassment
Wake up early and let the sun fill my eyes as the automatic curtains open and allow Mother Nature invade my senses. As soon as it hits me I’m out of bed and into the kitchen to consume a glass of lemon water and then I hit the yoga mat. Meditation is key to every morning, allowing me to fill myself with gratitude and reflect … Continue reading Sushi beats Sausages
