@SKT so it was not YUMMY, then?

[SKT]

@tody haha…unfortunately no. And I had a decent streak going. Trying to get a year long streak but back to square one

Time of the year mold shows up on most all things leather around here. Pics of my Viberg country boots in waxed flesh.

My IHxSB olive tanned leather jacket is the mold’s favorite hangout, while interestingly, the IHJ-35 chrome tanned rider jacket is seldom and scarcely colonized by these critters.
If caught early a brisk brushing will solve it. If I’m late to the rescue it’ll need a couple of days baking in our winter sun followed by vigorous brushing.

@motojobobo Argh! Brutal. Makes me grateful to live in a more arid climate...

My train is running 80 minutes late, and someone has just opened what I can only assume is a jar of raw garlic. Shithead

[goosehd]

@Tago-Mago For a minute, I thought this was a calculus question.

[Tago Mago]

@goosehd how pissed off am I right now?

[goosehd]

@Tago-Mago Train A going nowhere, Carsten needs to go somewhere, Traveller B makes semi fatal error with garlic:

Which happens first, trains arrives at destination, Traveller B falls of train in suspicious accident, Carsten laughs at this…

[Tago Mago]

@goosehd I wish. Unfortunately, my parents didn’t raise me that way

[Walery Smirnoff]

@Tago-Mago Europe is not the same anymore.

[steelworker]

Got the garlic killer for ya- kimchi

[Brian]

Or just some Thai fish paste

[Tago Mago]

@steelworker love me some Kim chi

[Alex]

@AdamC puts nam pla prik on his lunch everyday, which I also love, but I think @Steve may have similar reaction to you @Tago-Mago

[Steve]

It's just something the way @AdamC mixes it with the food that gives of a smell of fish flavoured dog food!

[goosehd]

@Steve You owe me a keyboard

[Matt]

@Steve but that’s how he keeps his coat so shiny and healthy looking.

[Tago Mago]

@Alex I don't mind spicy flavourful food. I do mind oblivious idiots eating smelly stuff in an enclosed space with little to no way to escape. I wouldn't take kim chi or tsatsiki as a packed lunch on a train. That's common courtesy imo. Had to google nam pla prik first tbh

I have 2 passports, both British. I do this so that if I have to lodge a passport with an embassy for any reason, I have another passport on which I can travel.

I decided that I should add an ESTA to my "new" passport for my trip to LA today. In the process of so doing, the online application told me that I already had an ESTA on my "old" passport. Brilliant, no need to continue with the application, I just need to travel on the "old" one.

Not so fucking simple. The mere act of applying for a new one, cancelled the old one, and in the bizarre and Byzantium ways of government, I was not told that it was cancelled.

Net result, no ESTA on either passport.

Paula has checked in and I am sitting here waiting to see if the application I submitted 15 mins ago will get approved in time to travel with her and Alex.

As Paula would say "Mr International Fucking Traveller"..........
