You muppet!! I start getting ready when SWMBO is at the door ready to leave the house or even better outside. One important point, why didn't you use one of the other bathrooms? why get ready just go as you are, use crash out drills and you should be in the vehicle within 3mins
 
I remember parades like this in the late 80,s, Coveralls with pressed creases in arms and legs.With stable belts highly polished and battery cravats. Bulled boots also obviously. We used to have 3 sets of coveralls issued so we kept one new set just for parades and swapped into an old set to work in. We also had to get completely changed into working dress for anywhere other than the gun park. Artillery bullshit back then was mind boggling.
you mean Onesies.....aaaa bless
 
The current mrs_mush and I have just been watching Supervet on one of the one-double digit satellite channels.

"Why are they pixellating the gory bits?"

'Because it's before the watershed" light of my life, "remember when we watched on C4 it was after 9:00pm"

"That's a shame, I quite like the surgical bits, they're quite interesting. I know I'll record it and play it later after 9:00pm"

Relax Chaps. Show parade was at 16:00. Shit, Shower, Shave, the whole shebang. Waiting for the cab now.
Those quick change parade drills in basic were not for the Army's benefit were they? No, they were designed by married pads who knew better in anticipation of these events.

I think you either need to alter the timings you've put in the above post, or accept that your table will have been given away...

If she rings down for the engine warm-up at 1200 with the pilot booked for a 1600 cast-off then I think he needs to consider a new patio.

Or just leave the bathroom door unlocked when he's in the shower.

That's not bone, that's just plain rude.

You're taking her out for dinner for her birthday and she's faffing about all afternoon until she's made sure she's still at the house waaaayyy past your reservation time. I think you have to face it - she's just not into you.

Next time you'll know, so tell her you're taking her out for dinner, let her go through all the faff.
Then, when you return home with a collection of keep-warm boxes from your local takeaway, point out you'd said you would take her out, but that nothing had been said about not coming home with dinner.
From experience , an indeterminate radio silence will ensue.
