An Sionnach Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 Could you not just chat up some bird at duty free to get some ciggies Haw, Vikki, you wildly over-estimate the power and effectiveness of my subtle charms, but I'm flattered nonetheless. Anyway, Helen came up trumps, gave me one in the Service Yard, bought a new pack and split it 50/50 with me. What's the younger, female equivalent of a sugar-daddy?! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An Sionnach Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 It must be easy to get things like that were you work though. Far from it, in fact. You can only get stuff from Duty Free with a boarding pass. And although there's plenty confiscated ciggies floating about the Customs, see if you get caught 'lifting' any, your feet won't touch the floor as the order of the boot ejects you oot the door. It ain't worth the risk! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It ain't worth the risk! That would have been my second option for you,but now you have said that I wouldn't bother doing that one. I thought people that worked at /for the airport got things on the cheap from the shops. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, especially not Civil Servants who mustn't be seen to be materially gaining from their position by gifts, favours or benefits in kind over and above the agreed remuneration for thier normal duties. we have a special procedure for registering any gifts other agencies and members of the public try to give us! The only legitmate way to take advantage of Duty Free offers is the twice yearly staff-only Summer and Christmas sales, held off-site in the BAA office accommodation. Even then, there's not much that appeals to me, although when they were much younger, I did buy my kids a limited edition snowman cuddly toy each! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monster Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 I had to phone to hire a teddy bear costume, as requested by my boss, for her next door neighbour who is going to entertain a kids party wesaring it. Here was the conversation: Me: "Hello, I was wondering if you had a teddy bear costume for a 15 year old girl, about a size large?" Man in shop: "Eh.........sure, of course." Note the long, LONG pause. That was the point where I thought to myself: 'Oh dear God, I'm going on the register for this!', but fortuneately innuendo was avoided as I managed not to laugh, or mumble an apology for appearing depraved. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An Sionnach Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 I've just remembered, my tabby cat brought a field mouse into the house last night - I saw it disappear behind the armchair then the TV stand. I told her to sort it out by the time I got up this morning and went to bed as I was bushed. However, she's buggered off into the back garden again leaving my useless fat black tom cat, who couldn't catch a cold let alone anything else, 'guarding' the thing I could see this morning hiding under my bookcase. It had better be stiffed, lying in the middle of the lounge as a peace offering when I get home tonight or my cats are in serious bother! The last thing I fancy is a mouse-hunt round the house before tea! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
centralparker Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 (edited) What annoys me is the number of people who think that Elvis lived in a house called Gracelands. In fact, his place was known as Graceland - no 's' on the end. Edited August 20, 2007 by centralparker 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuart. Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 I hate it when you are in KFC and there is only one person serving and you need to queue but there are 2 people doing the drive-in queue. Once I stood in a queue for 2 mins, saw it wasn't moving and went out, got in the car and was served in the drive through before the shop queue had moved at all. Also in the chinese carry out when you are queueing up and the phone keeps going and the phone people's order is always taken whilst you are standing waiting, they take precedence over you. Although The Rupee Room in Ayr don't do this - they ask the person in the phone to wait 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
