Early evening scramble whilst enjoying (well as best you could in a rubber suit) some sunshine outside the HAS. Already eating my second Magnum fresh from the freezer when the hooter went. For no fathomable reason my compatriot thrust his white chocolate Magnum at me whilst racing for the ac. Never to waste good food I force fed myself both ice creams as I charged up the steps.
The groundcrew did look at the creamy mess around my mouth with some suspicion but helped me strap in all the same. Checking in on telebrief went less well with a near frozen mouth. The response was on the other end was that they were prepared to wait if it meant that a sober crew could be found...
Ice cream to T/O in just shy of 5 mins.
