The price of a bottle of water at airports.

Flew home from Zadar last night. It was 30 degrees when we got to the airport. Had to bin our bottles before going through security. Got to the other side, 7 euros for 2 small bottles. They weren't even cold. Total rip-off.

The sooner the nonsensical restrictions on carrying liquids are dropped, the better.

That’s not cheered me up. Just got to Athens airport. Need some Water to go with me painkillers. Guess which eejit fell over last night and his ribs are killing.

Maybe I’ll post a picture of me sat at my desk looking glum with the golf on in the background.

Looks here’s one of Athens airport departures. So many people to talk to.

Queen’s Greatest Hits album has been re-released and Fat Bottomed Girls has been quietly dropped from the playlist. What is the world coming to?

One of their best rocking numbers.

Has Bicycle Race also been axed? Because there's a line in that referring to "fat bottomed girls will be riding tonight". If they're going to be properly woke, they should be consistent.

A pal Of mine had the LP which the song was on. There was a poster inside with hundreds of naked ladies sat on bikes on a
Start Line at a race track. Am sure that would go down well today.
As a kid that was Porn looking at that. ( me mate said ) 😉

Coming back through Dubai earlier this year, we were allowed to take water bottles through security, so it’s coming.

I read somewhere it's likely to be dropped by 2024. If it's already agreed in principle, what's preventing them implementing it now? (I can guess the answer - protecting revenue.)

Missus bought 2 x 200ml bottles of sun lotion on the way out. Had to bin the one which was 25% full as well as the one which hadn't even been opened. Laughable thing is I forgot to take the clear plastic bag containing my liquids out when going through the security, they never asked about it and never said anything even though it would have come up on the x-ray.

"Jazz": great album, often overlooked by many. I personally prefer it to Night at the Opera.

I still have the LP. No idea where the poster is though. It was on my bedroom wall before I left home to join the RN. Probably the first thing my mum ditched when I left. Some photo shoot that must have been. 👀🤪

Surely Fat Bottomed Girls is body positive?

“Fat bottomed girls, you make the rockin' world go round”

No way did a Fat bottomed girl ever complain about these lyrics, probably some skinny assed girl offended on their behalf. 😁


(No doubt Tim will come along and tell us it is about paedophilia and child rape 😩)

Old men on holiday abroad is generally an irritation. We went abroad with the in-laws twice. The second time I swore I would never do it again. That was 20 years ago, and I haven’t.

I’ve just spent a week in a beautiful hotel in Italy. The food was fantastic, typical Italian food (not British Italian), freshly made from ingredients mostly grown on site.

The number of grumpy old men who complained about it was irritating. They are probably the same problem who were sat to

If you're lucky, one day you'll be an old man on holiday. ;)
 
A discussion on Sky News this morning about the women's football team and that it doesn't represent diverse Britain as it's got too many blonde haired blue eyed women in it. Ignoring the fact they are representing England not Britain, do they say the same about the women's sprint relay team which was recently 4 black women? Is the Nigerian football team also not diverse enough?
 
Recently sent a garden voucher to a friend for her birthday.....It.never arrived.
I stopped sending vouchers or cash through the post due to previous problems a few years ago.
Really annoying and peez me off that you cannot trust the GPO staff.
In all occasions the addresses were in the South of England.

Was there any real need for the last line?
No is the answer to that
Just as much chance it never made it across the border...but anything to have a dig.....
