There's only a handful of you, and you're acting like obsessed lunatics.

I honestly wouldn't want to ever be washed up on the shore unconscious on an island run by you lot.

I still love that no-one thought about this when installing the bulbs in the first place.  I know science education isn't a priority (especially not when it cuts into valuable time that could be spent extolling the martial virtues of the Empire in WWI), but what did they expect to happen, that magical Polish lightbulb faeires would magic in new ones?

Same thing happened in our plant.  FIRST they put the sodium lights WAY THE FUCK UP THERE, THEN they pit the kilns in.  Every week I get a notification to change the lights.  Every week I cheerfully pass it on to engineering, who did this in the first fucking place.

Everywhere I go seems to be unseasonably warm.

I brought the Tucson, where's the party?

If you're going through Terminal 5, remember to point and laugh at the lightbulbs.

Quote

Various ways of replacing them have been investigated, including gondolas and high-level cherry pickers, none of which were deemed "practical or safe".

Following months of discussion, the airport has finally found a "safe and robust way to replace all of the light bulbs" using 'Cirque du Soleil-style' high-level rope work done by a specialist company.

YOUR ENGLAND IS BROKEN.

Wait what? Cherry Pickers are dangerous but cirque du soleil kind of shit is risk free?

Someone's sniffing glue or been bribed surely.

Oh art.

That makes much more sense now, it's most likely funded by the national lottery.

If they're artists, then of course, they're expendable.

It isn't really art if you don't suffer for it.

I know someone who is getting paid.  Mike.  The others asked him "isn't Roger coming out to eat?", and Mike said, "No, he's sleeping."  I've been awake the whole time, he never called or knocked on my door.

So, making do with room service, plotting horrible revenge.

You'd think.  So I'm going to suffer through breast of chicken in sesame, and he's going to have fun tomorrow.

More fun that he really wanted, I mean.

Also, hotels here do not have laundry rooms.  This came as quite a shock to me.

I was pretty sure you were going to order the smothered hangar steak with a side of broccoli.

Naw.  Beef.  No red meat for Roger, or my blood turns into jello pudding.  Fortunately, pork isn't included in that, and neither is bird.

Ah, I see.  I was thinking the red meat would make Mike suffer more, but it looks like you'd get the brunt of it.
