    Installing the same systems on AWACS
    In a highly secure US military center deep in a mountain (no laptop, no phone, just a pencil and paper allowed which was vetted upon leaving)
    Pakistan airforce base on the border with Afghanistan
    Porsche test track facility
    Underground nuclear bunker in the Black Forest
    Off to Odessa, Ukraine soon, should be fun
    Elephant and Castle
    Swindon
    Reading

    Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

        Can't say otherwise the black helicopters would be on their way, but no, it wasn't NORAD

            Can't believe I forgot the Premier Leage Football club/stadium I worked at for a while. I'm not remotely into football, but even so it was an interesting experience and assisting finance was somewhat eyeopening.

              "why ride a vespa when you can push a lambretta?"

              As I look ahead, I am filled with foreboding; like the Roman, I seem to see "the River Tiber foaming with much blood."

                You joke about Swindon but in my permit days we installed some software overnight for an insurance firm there (Eagle Star?) and the Project Manager wanted to go to the cashpoint to get some money to buy Pizza and was told it was best if a security guard escorted him!

                  A surgical theatre just before they did and endoscopy (they offered to let me stay and watch it but I politely declined!)
