What cheeses me off

And then your mother had returned and was standing there ...

And it was all a dream

WCMO: Touring Indonesian islands. Muslim. Conservative. EVERY pre-excursion briefing we are asked/told to dress conservatively - no shoulders showing, no thighs. American lady goes twice with an off-the-shoulder dress.

Third time, she is picked up in the lounge before departure and asked to change. Not happy; minor scene. Told change or staying on board. Goes and changes.

I think it’s been said before but people who are in the ED waiting room coughing up a lung with no face mask on. Waiting 8 hours with a vulnerable relative in a jam packed room every cough filled me with dread. Made a feeble gesture of lifting her arm to cover it.

An airline booking reference (PNR code) that starts with DUD. Given that it's into and out of New York mid February ...... Is the airline trying to give me a hint? (OK not really cheesed off, more amused, but if I were a little superstitious I'd be worried about that booking ...)

I guess anyone flying into or out of Dunedin in NZ, will have that within their PNR anyway.

We need another thread for observations that aren't either #WCMO or #LTIL. Maybe IOO (interesting or amusing observation that doesn't Cheese Me Off or Isn't a Little Thing I Like).

Was that because of the new Euro rules, or not enough counters open?

I had the misfortune to fly into Frankfurt just after 2 planes from Communist China arrived. I think it took me longer than that. Pre C.... days

Yep, everyone was getting fingerprinted and photographed. Which I did as I left WAW that morning. So a double whammy for me.

Sounds like they are well ahead of Spain then, who were doing neither at MAD.

I “LOVE” my current PNR.

Doing the washing today. Husband has a cold, I say did you check your pockets? Yes he says. I have been caught out before so rechecked his shorts pockets, nothing.
Hanging our the washing, ugh didn't check the shirt pocket. Its amazing how one tissue can shred into so many tiny pieces. Looks like its snowing!

My wife is the same. I check and check and still there is somehow a tissue or receipt in one of the pockets and she has to redo the washing as the shredded pieces are everywhere.

That’s the thing… most people make instant coffee with water, and add a bit of milk. Not really comparing like with like when people complain it’s watery or not full-bodied.

If you use only milk, no water, it becomes much more drinkable.

But i only drink coffee for the caffeine, and find no enjoyment in spending $10 - half the price of a coughtail - for a 30 second drink of coffee made by a ‘barista’.

Tip some milk in cup, add instant coffee, then add boiled water.

WCMO, no, what TPMOBT is a not for profit society, to which I have put in 20 years hard work, and most recently brought in a project that will make then between $30,000 and $50,000, totally shafts me in absentia over a small, but unusual request I made that in the end would have brought them credit and more funds.

The e-mail reply is written, just letting it ferment overnight.

Is this the same one we were chatting about in Greenland?

Can't remember. Probably - local history.

We educated our kids many many moons ago that Christmas presents are alway going to be cash and the amount is referenced to age

$X per years of age.

Mstr QS1 Got immediately Cheesed off.
He said "that means MissQS who is 2 years older will always get more than me"

I'm trying to teach my little one the same.

I am not a fan of buying someone a gift so they can buy you a gift back.
