Quite often it happens just after i have gone to bed and very early in the morning as well. I have never actually seen the car as theres a building in the way of it but i can hear it loud and clear. I am not sure how long this has been going on for, maybe about 6 months but this is surely a matter for the police to deal with as it must disturb a good few dozen people on a regular basis. My computer has decided only to type italics from now on, I've tried CTRL i but it doesn't work so I'm not being ironic. I was a bit surprised to find out my 2012 car doesn't have an alarm, it has an immobiliser which makes it almost as tricky to steal but doesn't annoy the neighbours. Cars with noisy alarms have a thing where if they're towed away the alarm switches off, so if you're getting desperate and you've a few purloined bricks left from your site, get a mate or hire a jakey to help you lift the back end of the car in question, and stick it back on 3 or 4 bricks each wheel. Sweet dreams! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightswoodBear Posted September 16, 2016 Author Share Posted September 16, 2016 I've had to rebuild my laptop at work after it had a Heads Gone moment. Not only is it a pain in the fucking arse and takes ages, but the default web browser that the company uses is IE. I had Chrome on it before (which I had to download on the sly at home because the works LAN blocks the download) but for the rest of the day until I can get it up the road I have to make do with IE 11. Those folk in Syria think they've got it bad. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then one came slightly later than 855 that we thought was ours but our rep who had just shown up told us it was for flights to Birmingham only and we had missed Our bus and would need a taxi! So our bus was earlier than it said, there was no marking on the side and no rep there to make sure we got on the bus ok and no one there to take names down. This rep told us we had missed out bus and would need to fork out 30 euros for taxi. At airport now and need to wait for over an hour, there is no bar and nowhere to sit. Some selfish b*****ds are hogging two seats or have their bags sat next to them so no one else can sit down! There is one guy deliberately sat in between two seats despite not even being fat. A truly awful day so far and will probably only get worse. throbber, I'm certainly not advocating that you kill them all, as that would be massively irresponsible. But you should definitely kill them all, throbber. All of them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My gf was filling out a review inside the hotel and we looked outside and the bus was there but 15 minutes earlier than it said. We were waiting outside from about 840 onward and he rocked up about 850 to see the other guests there onto the bus but told us we had missed ours and would need a taxi. Get that info in your complaint. Not much use having a rep if he doesn't do his job 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightswoodBear Posted September 16, 2016 Author Share Posted September 16, 2016 Can I ask a question? Were you the only people who didn't get on the bus? Did everyone else on the same flight get on it? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ETA I am not happy about Shandon Pars comment and won't give it a greenie but it has reduced me to hysterical laughter due to the emotional roller coaster of my day so far. if you spent less time on that roller coaster then you might have caught the bus..... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not quite the same as the tour company organising multiple buses, none of which are marked*, is it? *According to throbber, I accept this may not have been the case, but my point stands. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KnightswoodBear Posted September 16, 2016 Author Share Posted September 16, 2016 To be fair, the bus probably had flashing lights saying "THIS IS YOUR BUS THROBBER!!!!!" down the side, but his eye was drawn to some old dear sitting at a window seat that he thought was giving him the evil eye. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gavin_3110 Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 Holiday "reps" are the lowest lifeform on earth. Package holidays are for commoners. Keeps you away from us achievers though, so it's not all bad. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
