People at the airport who jump up and jockey for position in the queue 20 minutes before there's any chance of getting on. They're currently boarding the rich folk, or "pre-boarding" them, whatever that is and there are a hundred folk crowded around, blocking everyone trying to get by. Just sit down until it's your turn you fucking bedwetters. I get pissed off how early they call folk. I was flying Edinburgh to Bristol with the gate closing at 7.45. They called passengers for boarding at 7.15. I sat and watched the huge queue develop and stand around complaining. At 7.40 I saw the plane land and it taxi-ed up to the gate just after 7.45. So they called people to the gate when the frickin plane was somewhere over the Solway Firth! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got into the habit of waiting until the queue is at its longest, and all the other rich folk are on, before heading to board, just to see the seethe on the faces of the people in the queue. GIRFUY you jakey c***s. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember one time when it was Gold members, Silver members, Bronze members, people with young children, people who needed extra time to board, ex-members of the military, current members of the military and anybody with a Blue Peter badge. Basically, that was everybody but me. I had left my badge at home. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shotgun Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 The americans really rip the pish with the handluggage. Thats one of the things that makes getting on the plane last a b*****d because folk with their full sized suitcase hand luggage take all the room. Now that so many airlines charge for checked baggage, people go to ridiculous lengths to get their steamer trunks on as hand luggage. And because the airline staff are so pressured to turn the flight around quickly, they don't have time to enforce the rules. I foresee air travel getting much worse before it gets better. At least for those of us in peasant class. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daydream Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Just watched the first series of The Missing there and the end of it has really pissed me off. I liked the first season but the second season is so much better. Get it watched! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you didn't hate United before you will now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll be lucky, I've been visiting the Doctors with a sore shoulder/chest for the last 6 months. I've had X-Rays, Ultrasounds, Blood tests etc. with no joy. I had an appointment just before Xmas and they gave me some super strength anti-inflammatories that don't do anything and a self referral form for physio, obviously being an office worker I'm in the best position to decide whether I need physio or not. It's no wonder the NHS is on it's knees when they are letting patients refer themselves for treatment. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honest Saints Fan Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 I was given a number for physio self referral too and a prescription for some strong ibuprofen. The physio probably has a 5 year waiting list. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightswoodBear Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 If that's all they give me then I'm not bothering. Don't like taking painkillers and I've been to physios myself. I'm wanting someone to look at it and tell me if there is an underlying problem. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shandon Par Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 I had a shoulder injury from an off-piste/on piss sledging accident and the physio was priceless as he was able to pinpoint the problem area deep under the shoulder blade. I just had one or two visits as once we'd worked out what was going on I got strengthening exercises etc to target the dodgy area. £40 well spent. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it's the walnut part of Walnut Whips you have a problem with? I like once you've bitten the top of you can get your tongue right in. It's a very dirty bit of confectionery. The chunky base bit is good too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
