Enigma Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 i think the majority would be happier with it being on this thread. Not that i'm sticking my neck out on that one. Yes, but it means they are leaving Scotland, that is a RTBC no? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
An Sionnach Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 (edited) I've just confirmed today's lunchtime running order: 12:35 Dubai - 427 pax 13:05 Alicante - 185 pax 13:10 Malaga - 180 pax 13:15 Malaga - 123 pax 13:20 Palma Mallorca - 230 pax 13:20 Faro - 183 pax 6 flights, 5 of which arrive in a 15 minute slot and a total of 1,328 passengers! Remember that bit in the film Zulu when the African warroirs all come pouring down the hillsides en masse? Well now I know what it was like to be inside Rorke's Drift! Edit: To put into greater perspective, there's only 7 of us! I may be gone for some time....... Edited July 23, 2009 by Kilt 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But what problems are you going to have with folk coming back from their holidays? Christ that Dubai plane must be huge. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
An Sionnach Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 Bit of a thicko question. But what problems are you going to have with folk coming back from their holidays? Christ that Dubai plane must be huge. I'd be a bit ruder but as you don't work here you'll probably not appreciate. To elaborate, in easy to understand, bite size pieces: Every Passport has to be scanned. Those coming outwith the EEA/EU have be asked a series of questions to ensure they are coming to the UK for a valid purpose. This takes time. The Emirates Dubai plane IS huge and takes roughly 45 to 50 minutes to clear all the passengers. Unfortunately only 30 minutes after it lands another 5 planes with around 900 passengers all arrive at once. This leads to queues stretching right down the pier, which I have to monitor and usually end up helping to present to the Immigration Desks. So if you come back from your holidays and see a guy in a hi-vis UKBA waistcoat asking you to have your passport ready and open at the photograph page and if you're in a group go, up the Immigration Officer as a group and one person in your group should hold all the passports - that'll be me! And don't you DARE use your mobile phone in the Border Control Arrivals Hall or I'll come over and tell you off! Now, have you any other 'thicko' question I can help you with before I nip out for a last fag before the carnage commences? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An Sionnach Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 Ahh right ok, yeah I get it now. When was the last time you ninja'd someone? Thanks - I'll take that as a vote of sympathy! It's just got worse as the Emirates is running 15 minutes late and has only just now landed. Pax should be on the control in about 10 minutes time - just as the other five flights begin landing! Not since about four years ago when I had to help restrain a Russian lass who went beserk as we were trying to remove her. That may change if today's queue's start getting arsey though! Wish me luck.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything you do will have to include dieting (I speak from experience). That's pretty much it. You'll know about healthy eating Capy so give it another go. I go for the 3 meals a day and plenty water. Pretty simple. Is there any sports you enjoy? Swimming could be an idea. If you're really serious about getting fit, write up a programme of what you do at night then fit exercise around it. Then you'll be able to get on that bike and go for lovely long cycles this summer! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
