    In the office for 0530 today for a visit to an aircraft deicer. I now know lots about deicing rigs. Weather was too mild to see any action but we've pencilled in a visit in the New Year when I'll go out in the rig and watch the process and/or get to play at being a deicer by practising on the 'green goddess'.
    I was in a plane once while it was deiced - one of those little Saab turboprop things. I’d been summoned to Aberdeen by my then employers; at EMA they cancelled the flight and took us up to MAN in a coach, where we boarded a plane that first stopped at EDI. At that point it was decreed that we be deiced, so a thing came and sprayed some kind of fluid all over us, after which we were finally able to continue up to ABZ

        East Midlands Railways have refunded 50% of my train fare to Manchester for the CUK do, due to the delays which led to me getting there about thirty minutes later than planned (and by a considerably more circuitous route)

              Lunch has been zingy chicken & lentil soup, with wholemeal bread

              All while watching Australian Customs harassing people for simply having bags filled with heroin

                Lunch was poached tomato and scrambled egg on Morrisons sunflower and pumpking seed toast (crust), with a beetroot sarnie and 1.05 pints of Good Glengettie Tea rounding it all off.

                Today's score on Freecell was 92%.
                When the fun stops, STOP.

                    Not sure what caused the proliferation of vomit but the prime suspect is Friday night's oysters.
                    This is the prime suspect


                    Well it always makes MrsBP vomit.

                    When I say always, I mean the once. It was January 2007. The night I took her to darts. She lowered her guard. And thus she became pregnant.

                    Actuallt the bit about the darts is untrue. It was Rohypnol.....
