MPs stressed out over expenses
The poor little lambs...
I believe we should make them come in at 0600hrs for met, plan a 4 ship OCA mission, fly it and then debrief it - then do the expenses claim on the piece of sh!t they call JPA having been in work 8 hours.
Sympathy? Yeh, it's between sh!t and syphalis...

The new, tougher expenses regime is damaging MPs' "mental wellbeing", the doctor who looks after them has said.
Dr Ira Madan told a committee looking into the system that its "frustrations and difficulties" had increased workloads but decreased rewards.
She also said MPs were tired of being the butt of jokes about their expenses.

Your heart just leaks purple p1ss for them doesn't it?
They're probably struggling because they're not sure which scams are still goers and which are not.
But . . . we misjudge them. They only wish to serve, to do what little they can to make this a better place and have just the odd trip with their boyfriend . . .

AA,
Thank you.
All my claims have been audited since the I tried to blag a floating duck island off incidentals, I will look more closely for the check box next time.

When I were a lad on t'tankers, when we 'ad a trail on, by six o'clock in't morning we'd been in t'ops block for nigh on two hours slavin over an 'ot flight plan.
0600? Luxury! We dreamt about 0600 starts

Right.............I had to get up 6 hours before I went to bed, fix my own aircraft, file t'flight plan, produce my own fuel by lactating avtur, Lick t'runway clean wit tongue then push t'aircraft into t'sky before leaping on't board...and after all that t'nav would still not make a pot of t'tea!
While I have no wish to follow on the "4 yorkshiremen" sketch and try to "top" anyone else, I can, in total honesty, say that I once, due a shortage of personnel, had to work, along with a few others, a shift pattern that consisted of 72hrs on, 72hrs off.
This went on for about 6 weeks until the manning situation improved.
I'm not saying it was hard, or that I didn't sleep at all during my 72hrs "on", but I am saying that it actually happened......
Tell youngsters that today - and they won't believe you...!

As I said I might not be seeing the full picture here, so apologies.
As an aside, I used to love my 24 on/24 off Nuke QRA shifts and even better Deci shifts which we also used in the Gulf, Nellis and Alaska. We did try them once in Goose Bay but that was too hard.
