You are a VC10 captain on a detachment helping to enforce a no-fly zone.

As is customary whilst outbound to the refuelling area the crew are served with bacon and egg banjos by the ALM.

You fancy some ketchup on your banjo, and ask the ALM to bring some. You wait and wait, but with your breakfast going cold you are forced into eating it without a dollop of Heinz's finest.

Do you?

a. Forget about it; it wasn't important.

b. Think about offering to make the breakfasts yourself next time, thus ensuring that yours is just the way you like it. Realise that you can't be bothered, but mentally excuse yourself on the basis that monitoring the 3 other crew members flying the ac on a simple transit is more important. Forget about it.

c. Feel aggrieved that the ALM, with not a lot else to do, can't even get the breakfast right. Think about having a word, as he's been useless on the whole det. Decide that CRM is more important and forget about it.

d. Stare at the the full ketchup bottle now sat on the centre console, as it mocks you by posing a juxtapostion to your now empty plate. Lose your rag and take a swipe at the ketchup bottle sending it flying across the flight deck, almost hitting the Air Engineer. Fly the rest of the sortie in a silence as cold as your banjo would have been if you'd waited for the ketchup.
