I don't even celebrate Christmas.. but my wife and daughter were meant to touch down in Melbourne tomorrow after being away for 5 weeks, and there was some ridiculous fuck up at the airport and they've missed their flight as a result, and the travel agent has to resolve issues with the airline tomorrow morning. I'm very bummed out.

Dude, that sucks!
Celebrating Christmas or not, the Christmas season does make everyone want to be with their family, it's just the way it is. With all the movies, the things going on around us and the "Ora" so to say!
PS. When I was at highschool we got detention for calling our sports team the "FAR-Q's" , so your user name just made me go back in time and chuckle!
Thanks for that!
Yeah.. was looking forward to having them back.. I guess I'll have to wait another couple of days in this empty house...
And yeah, my username may have a bit of innuendo to it... Not sure how many people pick up on it unless they actually read it aloud..
So are you away for work?
Nahh mate, I'm in Croatia (little country in central/southern Europe) where we used to live, am here til I sell of our house. just one of those things where some plans didn't work out the way we had hoped for and it has drawn itself out too bloody long for anyones liking.
Funny how things work out!
Here's another story about that one, in 2000 there was this ruddy US Air Force Captain i was working with and he was a prankster, a real joker. So one day when he was out at lunch i had to go to his office for something and left a message for him on his desk:
"French Ltc Farque from HQ Commandants office called and wants you to call him back" with a direct number to the HQ Commandants office!
So I told everyone what I did and we all kind of were doing our own thig and watched and listened.... after like three attempts of him trying to say the name he hung up angrily and looked up and saw me at another blokes desk and he yelled out "Jack"....
He gave me an asschewing over it, because "he looked stupid over the phone with the HQ Commandants staff....."
Poor him..... the SOB couldn't handle a taste of his own medicine!
