[QUOTE=Varley;641Blue peter 24 hours before departure? Is that because some fool has introduced some sobriety requirement to those 'doing standby' or do you expect us to only be sufficiently unblind drunk to see it for a few minutes in the drinking day?

I kind of rely on a meaningful wave of the hand and a careful "carry on" to impart my wishes and make them commands.
I remember as a youth grasping the back of the sofa and muttering something about "long day, ver' tired" and then attempting the North Face of the staircase, maybe upright but not always.
Oh the days of youth, we thought we deceived but we were just tolerated.
