.. apart from the time I did have a full cavity search at San Francisco, but I figured that was probably the local custom.
Always best at airport security / customs NOT to say that you are Elton John's celebrity stunt bottom and you support anything to do with Arsenal.

@Kruse TSF own Jack Reacher!
Shit - that reminds me... I didn't have any carry-ON luggage either - no backpack, nothing except what was in my pockets.
That might have been what REALLY freaked them out.
So yeah, @taniwharugby , ticking fair few boxes. -
Maybe also being hungover or drunk, smelling of alcohol, and clothes slept in or security cam video of sleeping at airport rung a few bells?
Sounds more like Jack Retcher. -

Fuck that.
(And BTW I only read the headline.)
I reckon it's a badge of honour.

If we are not allowed to say/write GOM can we use curmudgeon?
Always loved that word. -

Always loved that word.Yes indeed.
……and replace “Grumpy” with “ornery” or “cantankerous” as well.

If there's one thing that Scots have, its an awesome sense of humour.
This surely, is partt of this.

I am sure we have done the topic of paper straws and wooden spoons, knives and forks, but the world hit a new low for me yesterday when my takeaway coffee came with a paper lid. Fuck that shit. Especially when they don't even stir my sugar in.

As someone who carries a firearm they should know not to piss you off like this.

I wasn't working yesterday, but funnily enough when I am working the local shop gets my coffee ready without me having to ask. It's cheap too. Amazing what a firearm, the threat of tickets and a grumpy face can get you.

My local that I go to with the girl every Friday morning gave a bunch of firemen free coffees. I thought that was pretty awesome!

This is back in the early 90s, but the brother of a mate of mine was a cop and he used to put on his uniform to get free MacDonalds. I assumed that's frowned upon now!

A number of places 'look after' the emergency services. It's appreciated.

Very much frowned upon. My lot even tried to stop businesses offering us a discount a few years ago.

Fuck work.
Fuck the "be outside your comfort zone" attitude, when inside your comfort zone is where you're most valuable asset in the team.
Fuck a company that makes a fuckton of profit, and gives you a pay rise around half of inflation but says that is a good thing because the previous years it was even lower, as a percentage.
Fuck having to wait until October to get the bonus that I basically earned by end of June, forcing me to endure another fucking 4 months of fuckery.
In short, and as I stated originally: fuck work.

@Crazy-Horse I know when I used to work at KFC in mid 90s, we'd ring the cops/Fire or Ambos telling them we had left overs if they want to pick them up (chicken, P & G, coleslaw etc)
