Random Irritations

Having just looked up obdurate, I guess I'm one of them.

Me too

When you start reading a thread and there are 2 obdurate forum members discussing. I usually guess where is is going to go as neither will back down.

I would not consider mentioning names and sure most will have their own names!

I’m Spartacus!

No you're not, you're just a very naughty boy.

From the feedback I've seen, Motorway seems to offer a better deal

with my experience with them. Initial guide price was far better than WBAC, "auction" price was even better. Car collected and money paid into my account before dealer left my house. No knock downs (if you are honest with your description and photos) and no fee. What's not to like?

Virgin Media email being down for 2 days. Finally get back in and there are 500 emails, all of which are the same 7 emails repeated over and over again

I’d put a pen in with my chargers, when they scanned it the pen looked like it had a cable coming from the end of it

I got the full bag search and drug swab last month because i had a bluetooth speaker in my bag

Flying, and everything associated with it.

When I come to power there will be a simple set of rules;

1. If you need wheels on your bag it's not hand luggage and has to be checked in.
2. If you are unable to lift your bag above your head easily it's not hand luggage and has to be checked in.
3. If you get to security and don't realise you need to have liquids in a clear bag, electronics out of your bag etc you get sent to the back of the queue.
4. Anyone standing two abreast on a travellator or escalator will be tasered.
5. If you get to the front of the queue at check in and don't have your passport ready you are banned from flying ever again.
6. If you walk through the airport staring at your phone or searching for something in your bag instead of looking where you're going you will get thrown out of the airport and have your luggage burned.
7. Any retailer that charges more than 10% above high street prices will be fined £10k per item that is over that limit. 18 euros for a tuna sandwich, bag of crisps and a black coffee is taking the you know what.
8. If you are too fat to fit in one seat you either don't fly or have to pay for two seats. I didn't pay for my seat to let you take half of it you obese moron.
9. There will be a combined weight limit for the person and luggage. Why should someone that weighs 12 stone have the same allowance as someone that weighs 18 stone?
10. Pricing will be based on weight. A ten stone passenger with 5 stone in luggage will pay the same as a 15 stone passenger with no luggage.

Wasn't an airline going to introduce weighing people?

15. People who remain seated, because they see no need to rush and are the last to leave the plane (me and Mrs V) should be given half price tickets the next time they fly with that airline.

THat's us !

Just "KP" would suffice

I think it's Air New Zealand, but not 100% sure.

To be fair the Maoris are a big race! And I speak from experience from playing rugby against a good few over the years .

But as someone who's rather "dense" - shall we say - its a ridiculous idea to charge more for those that are simply heavier.

Proper first world problems

The internet went down at 11:18 (phone notified me via the alarm being on back up)

Tried remote trouble shooting and reboots nothing



Turns out the cleaner had knocked it lol

I guess should be pleased it was something simple and not another task for my growing list

Is it?

 

[HeftyHacker]

Is it?

I reckon so. At 6ft 4 and 18stone I'm not small by any means but I fit comfortably enough into most airline seats - I'd say im heavier than i look and people are often surprised when i tell them my weight. To then tar me with the same brush as someone who's 5ft7 and the same weight but spilling into the seat/seats next to them is a tad unfair in my opinion.

Nup, not having that.... their Dry Roasted nuts are out of this world good

The energy company Outfox the Market. What an absolute shambles.

Anything in particular to look out for? I've been with them for a few years and they've mostly been tolerable, so far.
