I saw this and had to do a double-take...
Hapless Pelican?
He was probably taking it somewhere discreet to tear it to shreds and eat it.
That's a controlled descent - you can see from the stance that pelican is being steered to port. That's th red light side, for those not acquainted to nautical stuff. Ask Pequod for extra nautical questions, he's sailed about some.Hapless Pelican?

Hitting the M1 today. Back down South for a wedding and staying in Woburn again, same hotel as last week. Should be warmer down there.
Now where is that demob suit?
Woburn Beds? Four and a half stars on TripAdvisor?Now where is that demob suit?
Good choice, Hammo.
But beware the M1:
She can be a cruel mistress...

It's only a five minute walk if you drive?
Mornin' all. Nearly luncheon already. Marvellous.
IOTN I got home yesterday and Mrs M. had been on a cleaning mission. The whole house is lovely and sparkly clean, I wonder how long it will be until I'm actually allowed inside.
"Don't you dare walk on that nice clean floor!!!" Mornin' all. Nearly luncheon already. Marvellous.

Looks like P5BNij will be having a bit of a break next month ...
but i fail to understand the reasoning behind it all. I get that the RMT is protecting it’s workers from alleged redundancies by Network Fail* but surely bringing the country’s rail network to a grinding halt is counter productive.But what do i know, i am sure our esteemed Ninky Nonk Pilot will be along soon to explain it for those who don’t understand it
so we can understand thier grievance.* i say alleged because i haven’t really looked into it to be honest and seeing as i work less than 1.5 miles from work, i dont have a need to use the railways.
To the matter in hand - the route cause of the RMT’s action is the incompetence of the TOC’s management and their reliance on current drivers doing overtime (working their rest days which is not compulsory) just to cover the basic roster and timetable. The TOC concerned does not want to train up sufficient drivers to cover all of the work and a lot of existing drivers do not want to do the overtime, ergo, crap service from the TOC, but all the public sees and hears about is recalcitrant, greedy drivers wanting it all their own way. It was ever thus and always will be until enough drivers are taken on and trained up!
IOVTN, I've very nearly almost but not quite managed to give up the old 'midnight snacking' habit, it goes with the shift work and the odd hours we do but I'm getting there. Too many noms consumed past the midnight hour, so it is.
