Best location for black-belts in ignorance to stop for a chat is the end of an escalator. 

Always followed by a haughty "oh, I'M sorry" when the people behind bang into the back of them, as though there's anything at all they could have done to prevent that happening.

@TxRover - you must be allowed to shoot people for this in Texas, right?

Nah just sitting in a sweatbox on a runway with a bunch of wankers playing videos on their phone out loud and a toddler who's having a tantrum, I may have to join in with the tantrum soon.

Compo Face thread as well if there's a huge delay and you go running to the papers. Caught up in the Manchester power cut delays?

I've avoided to "jakes on a plane" thread thankfully, she goes to a kennel when we're away, that's why we can only ever do short trips

If you both get stuck in Manchester you can watch it together.

I fucking hate Airports, full of c***s not aware of their surroundings just stopping everywhere, get the f**k out the way and don't stop in the middle of a main walkway, come back in half an hour and this could be moved to the heads gone thread.

As somebody that worked with tourists in your face for a few seasons, I've got a well-founded theory that even intelligent people leave a part of their brains at home when they go on holiday.  Stupid stuff that you just know they wouldn't do at home.

A gross generalisation I know, but Brits are by far the worst for this.

There’s a solid argument for that being the real reason you can’t have a gun past security. Given the number of shootings at family events where an argument turns to gunfire, they’re probably right.

Of course, then there’s justified reasons like shooting a fellow fan when they’re not disappointed enough your team just lost, which could do with spreading to OF fans tout de suite. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/sister-deadly-shooting-was-over-alabama-loss-auburn-flna2D11685829

Hayfever got me this morning when I was driving into work. 

Taken an antihistamine now but I look like I have been pepper sprayed. 

I left a microscope slide out on my top-of-the-stairs window sill this morning and just had a scan over it. 

Not had any windows open all day and yet it's got a fair whack of timothy grass (and even some oilseed rape) pollen over it.  Upstairs in the house FFS!, which helps explain why I've woken up with a scratchy throat without leaving the bed.   It's everywhere.

And yes...

My laptop : "oh, I can see that you've not only booted me up, you've also dug out your printer from the back of the cupboard and switched it on, so you must be wanting to do something both urgent and important. Therefore I am going to install Windows updates too, right now"

Printer: "Hold my beer. I choose today to decide to alter my IP, meaning that Boghead will have to follow a tortuous 58-step process to get me working again."

Me : Heading for Heads Gone.

People who point at their choice on the menu and the waiters who crane their necks to peer at it.

I think I probably do that all the time albeit whilst reading out my order.  I think I'm not alone in that.

Not in the Chinese though, as my arms aren't long enough to reach the menu board.

Just bought a new electric shaver.  The manufacturing costs must be a small fraction of the sales price.

Some of the prices for they things is unreal.  £300+ for a crap shave

My haircut usually costs £17. It will fall pretty soon to about half that as I hit state retirement age. Which is fair enough when you think about it as I will gradually have less hair. Mind you, with the performance of Rangers over recent years, and Scotland making an @rse of it at the Euros, it's surprising that I've got any hair left.
