I thought "unions" were a thing of the 1950s in the UK...[:'(]

You're probably thinking of British manufacturing. [;)]

The unions are still around, mostly ruining bank holiday weekends etc when they invariably go on strike demanding more pay, better working conditions or new socks and chocolate Hobnobs instead of Rich Tea biscuits in the crewroon or some such bollocks. They pretty much lost a lot of power after Maggie took on the miners in the 70s (or was it 80s? I wasn't born until '82 so I can't remember).

TBH, as an airman I'm not entitled to join a union. Partly because the RAF won't let us, but mostly because if we did then there's a danger we'd have our demands met and then have nothing to complain about. [:D]

Really? How much of a danger is there in THAT? [:'(]

So's everyone else.

I wouldn't say that. Although I have memories of telling USAF personnel in Al Udeid that the AAR pods under the wings of the VC-10s were high level insertion pods for SAS raids. [:D]

It's a well known fact that the lower down the military ranks you are, the more there is to complain about. So given my rank, not much danger. But there's the risk that it could happen!

Feeling a Vietnam vibe tonight. Listening to a bit of CCR, Rolling Stones and Steppenwolf. It's like Tour of Duty, but without the acting stuff. [:D]

A hit of sour mash clears that right up, Dix.

Going to work on what should have been my day off tomorrow

Not only that, but I'll probably be on shorter breaks.
Not only that, but I'll be finishing late.
Not only that, but I'll be starting early.
Not only that, but I'll be working Saturday.
Not only that, I may be working Sunday.


I need a better union.

...it could be worse...it could be me...[:D]

[Onime No Kyo]

Dammit! I hate it when that happens.
