Queue Warning ... Top Tip

Top Tip: If you ever see me in a shop or post office or anywhere else, don't join the queue behind me.

I got in the 10 Items Only queue at the supermarket. Three items only, so that was good then. Well, except for the family in front with a trolley with MANY items in. I thought they would leave the queue when they were told it was against the queue's rules.

Not a bit of it. That family stood its ground and caused a five minute delay at least.

These slow downs happen to the people in front of me all the time.

Theft

Someone is richer to the tune of £776.44 as a result of having stolen it from my bank account.

Ostensibly the charge is for services rendered by a hotel in Amsterdam. However, I was in Bangkok at the time. I stayed at that hotel in December last year though!

Got to Dubai to find a chap I was with in Amsterdam also had an attempt on his card but luckily for him the card he had used was out of date so they got nothing from him.

Raining and Pouring

My laptop computer ceased to be very early on Friday. Don't know why yet but my life depends on it.

Bought it in Dubai and am on my way there now to get it sorted,

Misery Guts

Leaving for another trip and got to Departures.

I had already drunk the last of my milk but had a pot of yoghurt left.

I confidently strode up to the two girls who were checking liquids and gels and that and asked if I could take the yoghurt through. I'm going to eat it straight away I said. She said, eat it now or dispose, pointing over her shoulder at the very bin I could use.

I cheekily asked if she'd got a spoon and glumly she replied that I should try one of the restaurants.

Lighten up a bit lass.

The Jackal? Don't think so

This is true: well, I can't verify the assassin part; but the rest is as it happened.

The clown next to me on the plane said he is an assassin on his way to Thailand to carry out a contract killing.

He proceeded to drink around 10 brandies. At one point he stood up and walked away from his seat without taking his headset off. He also tripped over his TV screen as we were sitting in bukhead seats.

At the end of the flight he fell down the aircraft steps but I broke his fall and then he stumbled into the loo in the airport transit area where he spewed his ring!

Hey, teach me the ways of the assassin, Grasshopper!

His greasy long hair and tattoos didn't cut it for me either!
