Missing weekend

So I went out this weekend and may have drank a little too much, it started off well and can remember arriving in the Lloyds bar, but after that can’t remember anything. Can’t even remember my journey home, what I do know is that I left the pub sometime before closing, I arrived home at 4am having woken myself up from a deep sleep I decided to take on the way home, I now have a sore knee after rolling around on the footpath and hitting it on a garen wall.

So if anyone would like to shed some light on the evening it would be much apreciated. Most likely I was an arse, so sorry.

Qantas

After every flight, Qantas pilots fill out a form, called a “gripe sheet,” which tells mechanics about problems with the aircraft. The mechanics correct the problems, document their repairs on the form, and then pilots review the gripe sheets before the next flight. Never let it be said that ground crews lack a sense of humor. Here are some actual maintenance complaints submitted by Qantas’ pilots (marked with a P) and the solutions recorded (marked with an S) by maintenance engineers. By the way, Qantas is the only major airline that has never, ever, had an accident.

P: Test flight OK, except auto-land very rough.
S: Auto-land not installed on this aircraft.

I must appologise to Phil, he posted this on his site, and it was too true not to steal.

1. When you call us to have your computer moved, be sure to leave it buried under half a ton of postcards, baby pictures, stuffed animals, dried flowers, bowling trophies and children’s art. We don’t have a life, and we find it deeply moving to catch a fleeting glimpse of yours.

2. Don’t write anything down. Ever. We can play back the error messages from here.

3. When an I.T. person says he’s coming right over, go for coffee. That way you won’t be there when we need your password. It’s nothing for us to remember 700 screen saver passwords.

4. When you call the help desk, state what you want, not what’s keeping you from getting it. We don’t need to know that you can’t get into your mail because your computer won’t power on at all.

5. When I.T. support sends you an E-Mail with high importance, delete it at once. We’re just testing.
