Thread: Ever forget to pack something ....

Camping trip. First night set up tents then realized had not packed sleeping bags. Blanket and bin bags substitutes until could buy replacements. Once home donated them to one of the Ukraine aid groups

Starting a new job. Is a 4 hour drive to site. On the way stopped for a coffee and sudden realisation had left my passport and residence card at home. Could not start without these so returned home. Added 3 hours to the trip

Now have a camping list.

I can't help thinking, one doesn't have to sleep in the tight fitting yoga pants that came with the mats.

Which might be why he's called Hopalong, still wearing them coz they wouldn't come off.

I trust the previous occupant hadn't puked or crapped* upon it?

So do I.

Once in the army we didn't forget anything but were left off the list of force numbers when we were seconded to another unit, so the chef refused to feed us lunch. Luckily by dinner time our Sergeant realised there was plenty of food and the way they controlled portions was via the metal multi compartment meal trays, so he got the rest of the unit to get there early, then wash the trays and give them to us so we could eat in th later part of meal times. The chefs didn't keep an eye on the juice and coffee dispensers, so a lot of us made cups out of soft drink cans with the tops removed and wire handles.

it would be more than 50 years since i might of considered yoga shorts, but such things did not exist back in the dark ages.,but maybe its time to reconsider

I'm fine with that, while you're in South Australia.

Army chefs are like civvie forkies. Never get on the wrong side of 'em.

And, yes, you have to call 'em Chefs... Bit like calling me a Craftsman.
