@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"..........

Made it. The ESTA came through a minute before check-in closed. I did have to “urge” the check-in person to make some calls though……

[Tago Mago]

@Giles time for a Bloody Mary?

[seawolf]

@Tago-Mago What is it about air travel and Bloody Marys?

[endo]

has to do with taste buds and low pressure

[seawolf]

@endo Thanks for the link!

[Oaktavia]

@Giles glad you made it pal, that sounds stressful.

@seawolf nice photo, I can't wait to see more from this weekend!
