Thai Spice Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 Just transfered a bit of Euro to my country's revenue dept...... They give me a pension, but they back a bit of it of course. But not too bad, only 0,6 month of pension per year ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jambo Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 (edited) Currently deciding what I am going to have for lunch in Secrets today. Think I might totally confuse the service girls and the kitchen by ordering the butterfly chicken but just with mushrooms and tomato. 😀 We had a big Stewards Inquiry between myself and Nui and Nung and eventually we seemed to be all of one mind. My order was Butterfly chicken with mushrooms and tomato only. "So no potato's?" "Correct" says I. Order goes into the kitchen and a couple of minutes later out come the on duty chef and a big discussion takes place between Service and the Chef. I hear the word "Potato" and I shout out "No potato just mushrooms and tomato" Everyone repeats "Tomato" and I nod vigorously! A few minutes later out come my lunch. 🤗🤗🤗 It was delicious - including the potato wedges! Edited February 4, 2019 by Jambo 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to rotate through all 3 shifts, finishing on mornings at 1500 going on to afternoons let me go fishing over night or get wasted. Happy days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thai Spice Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 Used to do a lot of shift work as a young mechanic. When working in France the system was 3 shifts of 8h (cant remember exactly the hours). Night shift was a bit more relax as all senior management is absent, and you had a bit more independance. Of course in the winter not so funny as it is 8h outside...Remember I was in construction. Overseas was 12h shifts , 6 days a week, switch day/night every 2 weeks. Holiday about 2 or 3 weeks every 4 months. Did that for many years. Later, I was around 40, went up a bit in position and no more shifts. Much younger in the Navy, "shifts" were a completely different thing, with little sleep when on exercise at sea. Add to that the bad sea, and "battle stations"...... You learn to become "flexible" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't worry, you have an ashes series later in the year to make you feel better. We can only beat the Sri Lankans. The Indians whipped us in Oz, we might have done better if the batsmen could work out how to bat.. I agree a shambles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coming into this series with the Windies we beat India 4-1 at home and Sri Lanka 3-0 away,where we never win.So i was pretty confident,but they have just been throwing their wickets away.Can see us struggle against Starc,Hazlewood,Cummins and Richardson. Always remember the old interview with Micky Stewart when he was England manager in the 80's/90's when we always got smashed by the Aussies.The interviewer's first question was 'So tell me Mickey,why are the poms so crap?'.😀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
