Of course you are. They know how ruthless the RTTL kneecap squad is and once you sent up the beacon with your previous post the result was never in doubt.
RTTL. Here to serve, here to crack skulls, here to grind bones to make flour from those that would inconvenience our favoured sons.

Re: A right now thread
It's so quiet here at night that any sound carries.
A noise just started like one of them huge generators.
Walked round house n garden and looked over wall into building plot next door.
Nada
Went to road and there's a bloody Harley about 200 yards up the road ticking over, warming up.
Came back and it sounds really loud on the patio.
Thank fark he's just set off.

Quiet! Quiet! That'll all change when I move up the road. I'll be getting a band together, "Teguise Tai and the Taipanettes" and we'll be practicing regularly on the patio!Yorick wrote: ↑Thu Oct 26, 2023 9:27 pm It's so quiet here at night that any sound carries.

Re: A right now thread
Ding dong goes the door bell at 11:35pm. Looks at wife then hear feet running up my stairs. Up like a shot running to my top landing door expecting to kick ass or get a kicking (Pref the former) only to be greeted with the police asking me if i am Mr ****** ***********. Nope his mum lives in the next block. Sorry wrong hose as they run away again. Had a wee deek out the window and we have an ambulance two marked police cars and police standing with a battering ram. God knows what Mr ****** ********** has done but fingers crossed its jail time. He is the guy i am wating for a court case to start for mistaking my head for a recycle tub and chucked his wine bottle in it. Fuck its not even the weekend yet

Re: A right now thread
A few years back the airlines sat down with MAG, who run a number of UK airports and said, 'Look, you get all the benefit of people spending money in the air-side pubs, we get all the bloody grief of pissed up passengers'. MAG then asked the alcohol retailers to sign up to a code of conduct, i.e. no serving people if they're half-cut or rowdy, and specifically, no serving 'double rounds', i.e. two pints per person. They all, including Weatherspoons, agreed to this...
A few weeks later Weatherspoons started selling beer in two-pint beer glass.

It will all end up with no alcohol airside. And no access to airside if they think you are even half tipsy.
I can live with that.

Re: A right now thread
It really pisses me off that people can say - oh I'm a nervous flyer and took drugs and alcohol so I don't remember behaving like a psychotic bitch to anyone near me and it's not really my fault, it was the drugs and alcohol.Skub wrote: ↑Fri Oct 27, 2023 2:09 pm Favourite daughter had the pleasure of dealing with this one in the course of her duties.

FFS - be a bit responsible. If you drink so much that you are incapable, or are stupid enough to mix prescription meds and alcohol, MTFU and accept the punishment as you are just an irresponsible and/or stupid fucker!!
(Possibly not the usual response, but hey ho - worked in too many bars and on too many doors with drunken arseholes to have much sympathy for arsehole drunks )
Life is for living. Buy the shoes. Eat the cake. Ride the bikes. Just, ride the bikes!!
