Yes! Its a thing.

Pizza yesterday.

I'll probably follow on with leftover Chinese take-out shortly.

Later I'll have a proper meal (ham, swiss cheese, red & green bell peppers and mushrooms wrapped in scrambled eggs, a side of Greek yogurt and a nice tall cup of cold, orange flavored psyllium husk) AKA my normal breakfast.

Is this an American thing?

I want to emigrate, and eat ice cream for breakfast driving a monster truck to work.

It's right after "E Pluribus Unum."

"Whatever floats your boat." :)

Edit: But be sure to check if the truck has a bayonet mount before you buy. And a place to stick the flamethrower. And if it measures fuel economy in "miles/gallon" instead of the much more common "gallons/mile", it needs a bigger engine.

I'd move over, solely to rebalance having Prince Sort of Harry there.

Dude, you soiled the 32k post, with that acid rain belching, irritating, loudmouth beast, that already looks well past it's best.... and a monster truck picture!

Well, the truck is pretty cool. Nothing like a big, wallowing, soot-black cloud of greasy, asthma-inducing smoke to get my gears going in the morning. But I agree about the other bit. Poor taste.

Still... 32K!!! Wooohoooo!

business class seats are spacy and comfortable, because they are made to sleep in as well - on a long-haul flight business class is worth it, alone that you can sleep during an overnight flight and arrive fresh in a good mood and not exhausted from the journey is well worth it.

Indeed, Mrs P and myself were very lucky to get upgraded to business on a flight from London to Sydney, flying Emirates with lie-flat seats.

We arrived in the evening, well rested, went out for a light supper had bottle of wine, and a lovely evening chatting to some super RAN folks we met. We woke the next morning with no jet-lag at all.

Talking it over we reckoned it probably (ish) would have been worth the (a lot of) money, as it basically gave us an extra 2-3 days of holiday. The jet lag upon our (cattle class) return was horrendous, but I was back at workzzz, so who carezzz.

So very very true. I like to think its given me an advantage over many of my peers, especially regarding work related activities and goal oriented thinking in general.

I agree. Most* of the ex-military folks that I have been lucky to work with have been excellent. Say what they can and cannot do clearly, and do it. Particularly the ex-Royal Marines - brilliant!!

* the most noticeable exception was the laziest git I've ever worked with, ex-RAF, and he would spend 120% the effort required to do anything in trying to avoid it being his job. He is one of the very few work colleagues that I have seriously considered punching in the face. And I am not a violent man. He, on the other hand.... had a very punchable smug fat stupid lazy face. He is however one of the very few work colleagues that I have ever told to Foxtrot Oscar - both forcibly and loudly. In that instance he decided that the work I'd given him was indeed his to do. I actually reported myself to my boss (advanced back-covering 101). He laughed and said 'well done'.
