Random Irritations

[Imurg]

2 things....
1. It's just over 100 days until Iran kick off in their first World Cup match in Los Angeles....
And
2. The French have surrendered....

You can roll your eyes Ken but there is not a single thing that we can do or say to affect the situation in the Middle East, so why not have a little chuckle? The U.S Department of War (yes that’s really their name) have declared on Facebook this operation is called EPIC FURY, there are nearly 15k replies taking the pish out of them…

Fair enough but I’d rather not laugh if innocent people are being killed.
My mate’s son is in Dubai and apparently Iran are sending rockets there.

Can we move away from this please, everyone has their own opinions, I think we can all agree that when innocent people are getting killed, it’s not a good thing.

Thanks.

Rain, again. Only 9 open today and with that woman coming again overnight and into the morning I can't see an improvement. So a lie in it is. Then the gym.

Not to give an opinion on the matter but it surely must count as a personal irritation as we are now stuck in Abu Dhabi. They are good at using the warning system on your phone re missiles and taking shelter.
My thoughts are with the innocents caught up in the less sheltered areas of this conflict.

(Mods please remove if you think this is continuing the opinions on this topic).

Scary time for you mate.
Hope you all get back home safely and promptly.
Are you being told to leave asap and being helped with it?

Again If considered political please remove

We’re pretty chilled about it actually - what can you do?
We were at the airport in the lounge when we heard some explosions. There was a bit of confusion for a couple of hours but when we realised that nothing was going to go, we made the decision to simply re book our hotel as we knew it and it is alongside a Mall for necessities if we needed them, then swiftly got a cab out.
Etihad have cancelled the flight but are/will rebook us onto the first available whenever.
So we were having a nice curry yesterday evening instead of being bussed to wherever Etihad had booked for thousands of passengers which would have taken forever.
Admittedly your phone squawking in the middle of the night with missile warnings doesn’t make for the best nights sleep, but
My only minor irritation is the difference in time taken to buy some shorts and a shirt and flip flops by a man and a woman plus other necessities.
However we are now sitting near the beach with a Peroni so it can’t be all bad.
I was really tempted to use that line that an American used during the ashcloud issue when told that all flights were cancelled and she said “What even business class?”

Thanks for the update mate.
Sounds like you have a good and sensible approach.
If you panic (it’s easy to do) nothing changes except your blood pressure and your ability to make sensible decisions.
Hope it remains calm and you all get home safely.

Mate from work is also stuck here. Here seems fairly chilled, he has his luggage and is in a hotel. Reckons he won’t be back until Thursday at the earliest.

Who knows but if so, Yas Links with rental clubs will be tricky - it was difficult enough with our clubs which are somewhere at the airport!
