Bah
Ah well, exhaustion strikes.
Ended up at the airport yesterday, did my bit for Karma by not nobbling somebody who I was technically and legally entitled to nobble. Wasn't a big transgression so I sent him on his way with the knowledge that I could have been nastier. Ain't discression great. Thing is, the gods of karma have to be appeased; I'm travelling at the end of the week and if I don't keep them happy, I'll get held up by some small minded bullet bonced facist when I get back. Hmmm, someone just like me in fact. Don't know if it was the fluescant lights at the airport, by I had a real "pissholes in the snow" thing going on with my eyes on the way back, and from previous experience, I knew I was knackered. Went home, nobody about, so plonked myself in front of the gogglebox for a few minutes of Close Encounters to zero my brain. Woke up at two am to discover I'd fallen asleep in front of the telly; knocked over and broken my favorate Belgian beer glass, the Duvel one that I bought up north and used to live at FLoH's. Damn. Up to Knaresborough for a replacement then. Annoying, that. And expensive.
On the propellorheading front; two of the development Typhoons are supposed to be delievered to Coningsby today. DA4 for an as yet unannounced role; DA2, the British prototype to be stripped down prior to being moved to the RAF museum at Hendon. I thought Cosford'd be more appropriate, that's where the development collection is housed, but what do I know. Suppose it's considered prestige to have one at Hendon. No update on what time they're due, and with other committments, there's no way I could actually make it there and get back to 'Ming in time for work anyway. Hey ho. Rotten swine want me in an hour early today. No idea what for. These shifts and this team are beginning to eat into my life, not that I have much of one at the moment. Doesn't stop me resenting the intrusion though. There's places I could be going, people I could be seeing. There's only one resolution for 2007. TRAVEL again.

Duval glasses are available avec a 4 pack of Duval beers in Asda I believe. Could be Teso or Morrissons, but I'm firmly of the opinion that it's Asda who are known to do the deed.
*Quick mental trip around local Asda aisles..* and yup, at least one of the 2 near me do the 'gift pack'.
Buy one glass, get 4 beers free.. Yaaayyy!!!!
