Random observation; tipping culture has completely escaped Gibraltar. I've not tipped once since I've been here but still received great and friendly service. Screw American tipping culture!

As someone who had to deal with an outage caused by a fibre cable fault at work last week - I'm glad my work isn't as important as ATC!

Prestwick outage earlier and an FAA outage in the Northeast US. Praying something to cancel my Wednesday evening flight so I don't have to work Thursday/Friday.

For the many aviation nerds on here, the view over Gibraltars runway from the rock is outstanding. (It's a shame there is only 5 or 6 flights/day)

I'm trying to enjoy a cocktail before bed but there are Americans being all noisy on the table next to me 😡

Thought I'd go sit on the roof of my hotel with a drink and watch the sunset. Forgot I was 2 hours further south and that sunset isn't for another hour 😭

"Boarding complete" and the seat next to me is free! 🙏🏻💕

Sometimes I think London is huge but I bump into people I know with alarming regularity. Today: a colleague at Heathrow at 4:30 in the morning

Regretting my life choices presently.

Obligatory "packed for holidays" post.

I am enjoying watching this far too much. It's genuinely better than Eurovision!

Off for a lil holiday in 24 hours and I'm not mentally prepared nor actually prepared.

Can we retire the "How's your head?" -> "No complaints" jokes? I've heard it far too much recently.

I have been awake since 01:48 this morning and I've just got into bed at 23:32. 14 hours of that dealing with work 💩

Put my Gym kit on but have no desire to actually leave my flat.

Lady in my gym is sat on a yoga mat playing games on her phone and I think that's fair tbh

Rushed home to install the new train sim game and of course my internet died 5 minutes prior 😭😭

Mitch @coastermitch.bsky.social · 08/09/2026

Why are the model train retailers going so hard on sales at the moment? I've already spent too much and need to save for my Japan trip!

My local Sainsbury's has swapped the cooked meat and raw meat aisles and it's very discombobulating.

Hmm... Hornby has got a sale on Model rail tracks for the cheapest price I've seen track go for. And I have just bought a bunch of new trains I now want to display... 🤔🤷🏻‍♂️

Never seen a "Maximum fare" of "Free" before... Wonder if TfL will work it out on their own?

DCC is so cool, I can have trains face each other down! 😂

Chipped my final model train delivery of the week, Rocket is now rocketing...

Very glad to see topless jogging season is still going along victoria embankment this morning.

My final train has arrived. Slowly turning my flat into Kings Cross

I spent far too much money on this but so happy I got one. The UKs most hated train, now a model in my living room!

Just had some tradesmen round to fix a door and didn't realise I'd left my underwear out drying on top of the TV 🙈

Mitch @coastermitch.bsky.social · 03/09/2026

3 e-mails into the day and I'm in a foul mood. Can I retire yet?

A new model train has arrived and it's Tiny but gorgeous!!

I do find it so hard to be motivated to exercise in the morning when I wake up and it's still dark! 😭

I now find it impossible to finish a bowl of soup and not say "Good Soup".

Mitch @coastermitch.bsky.social · 29/08/2026

Someone is selling a model train I really want on eBay for £530 but that feels like too much money. But also another of the same model sold for £700 2 months ago so maybe it isn't. I just can't bring myself to spend that much on it 🙈

Erm ok Train Sim, why is my train rocking? I hope the virtual passengers aren't up to no good...
