Could you not ask the cabin crew why they are not wearing theirs? If they are exempt could you ask them to see the prove in the same line that they would ask you?

I know it’s their plane but I dont think it would get as far as you mention above unless you got rude.

That would speed everything up no end.

To be fair at Auschwitz you are put into a group based on who you arrive with as the amount of people going through there (Trying to find some better way of saying it but failing) is massive, and they need to keep you moving.

However that is all very odd. Maybe they thought you were stalking them by planning to meet them ahead of their schedule!

My daugther and her boyfriend troubles
Just dump the tosser.

The NHS.
Having worked for them for the last few months at vaccination centres i decided to apply for a full time position for them. Having waited for three months to get an interview, i had an interview only to be told i got full marks on most of the questions asked at the interview stage but i came second and was unsuccessful.
Then i was told they will be advertising another job in the next few weeks for a similar role if i want to apply.

What to come second again?

Or do i wait for a certain football club in west London to be taken over who have offered me a job when they get taken over who to be fair have been very good at replying to questions.

I get pissed off when one of my brood brings a veritable lovely person into our lives, for months or maybe a year or two on end, becomes part of the family and then they break up. Causes me a fair bit of grief that one... 3 times it's happened out of my 4 offspring now. It's almost bereavement.

I've told my unattached younger two not to bring anyone back anymore, unless they are absolutely certain, which probably won't change much...

Has not got that serouis yet, she is only 17 and thinks he is the one even though he is the only boy she has been out with. He is now being a bit of a lad and wanting to go out with his mates etc, I try and tell her to break up with him and enjoy being young but apparently I dont understand.

When I went, the group I was in had an American tourist who saw a friend of hers in another group. They both shouted gleefully at each other at the surprise of finding they were visiting the fun theme park at the same time.

Ahh yes, remember that stage, with my Daughters.....my youngest is a 24 year old boy, and he has brought home two lovely beautiful intelligent young ladies over the last 6 years.... both with fluent foreign language skills, seemingly alpha females and incredible academic achievement, one had art on display at the bloody national gallery of Victoria.... They were so enthralling and vibrant.... F..k knows how he gets erm in.

We had couple stalkers 20 years back. We were on a touring holiday of, mostly, Southern Brasil. I was unaware it was going on for a while, but my missus picked up on it and worse started to correlate the 'attention' into something that was encouraged and reciprocated by me.

I first got an idea what was going on when I was using the hotel internet in the lobby, and they popped over to see what we were doing. Later that evening we were in a restaurant and they came in and set at the next table. We moved upstairs and they followed us up there.

It culminated in my wife having an episode - sure that I was have adventures with the other woman - and threatening to fly back to Chile with our relationship in tatters.

I was wholly innocent, bemused and frustrated. But my missus has high perceptive skills for this kind of thing. Unlikely as it seems, I think the lady fancied a piece of this fugly gringo arse. Must be hell for her partner.

Extremely frustrating for me at the time. I couldn't work out wtf was going on, and why my wife had gone so far off the deep end at me. That was about a week of the trip - Parati, Rio, Foz de Iquazu somewhat ruined.

I think the airlines follow Infection, prevention control and use that to ask their walking freight to wear masks.

I understand Jet2 has said no more masks.

Not compulsory at the moment. My fave holiday airline.

Fly back from Lanzarote Saturday:D

[QUOTE=ozzieEagle;16395925] Probably just uses the line, "My old man's Palace.";)

The Brexit thread awaits your airport experience report on your return.

When you’re on holiday and then the new neighbours move in and are inconsiderate pigs.
It’s like feeding time at the zoo on their balcony.

Estate agents. This time lying by omission and causing a potential 'fall through'. As it happens, the few people in my chain know each other so they've been caught out and, as a result, are getting it from three angles, no doubt causing a collective 'follow through'. Same agency and we're all being blanked at the final hurdle. Last I heard they were having a meeting. Enjoy your bank holiday you Next clobbered, over perfumed fVckwits!

The new wrappers of Cadbury dairy milk duos. They are basically anti rip which defeats the object.

... half the apps on my iPad no longer work or can be accessed because I need to upgrade to iOS 13.0 which I can’t because my iPad is too old and will not let me upgrade to 13.0

Talk about designed obsolescence!

Riichi mahjong. WTF?!

Who knew eh? :D

An Apple product you say? Fancy that.

Ah yes, that point when Apple becomes Banana :-/

Wrappers on dried pasta. Literally every other types of wrapper is easily opened, but pasta? WTF is that all about.

Also, yesterday BT sent me an email with the subject line “You could be at the FA Cup Final” :veryangry

People's reaction when the hydraulics are pumped on an Airbus. Come on, we all know it isn't a dog now, don't we?

It’s people like you that tell others Father Christmas isn’t real :D

A dog?

When I put a load of washing on, I check the pockets, because I know that my wife doesn't empty snotty tissues out of her pockets when she puts her things in the wash.

She doubles down on this by not checking when she loads up the washing machine. Really annoying.

Expecting this to also come up in Depp vs Heard...

Surely it is not common knowledge

I got the same, reminded me of The Ironic song

A hospital?, what is it?

For those that want to listen to the barking

Not an annoyance... I suspect this happens on most planes, but seems exaggerated on an A320/A321 when flying into Miami... the plane fills with condensation bellowing out of the vents... due to the very warm humid air outside of the plane and the cool dry air inside the plane (like opening a freezer door I guess) so I'm told.

It can be very disconcerting, and a few passengers start to get very agitated when seeing it. Must admit it got me going a bit the first time I saw it. Then again a pilot hitching a ride was sitting across the aisle from me was looking at it with a sort of look of concern on his face - guess he had never seen it before.

Now that might be annoying!

I’ve only ever heard it on landing and it take a couple of seconds normally. I found it re assuring as through something was being put back in place with some proper strength.

people with backpacks in crowded areas
half of them forget they have them on and bump into everybody

Pretty sure I've heard it while waiting to get going... always assumed it was part of some pre-flight check.

I've been around a lot of hydraulic testing of aircraft actuators on test stands, and the noise is very familiar in that environment, so never really bothered me, but being repeated like on that video might get me thinking was stuck!

Oiks walking along looking at their phones expecting you to move.

So it’s not stowaways hacksawing their way out of the hold??

…..which brings me onto my current annoyance. Why do our media think we should give a flying one about two actors’ domestic issues?

It is a big building with patients, but that is not important right now

:)

And both over acting…

Trying to talk to a qualified human being at my doctors surgery .it took me 45 mins to get through to book an appointment
I have to wait two weeks for someone to call me
It is a brand new surgery lees than five minutes walk from where I live!

No E consult? Book through that and you should get at least a nurse ring within a day

The Quadruple

Man U losing to Brighton. Also my Scottish team Partick losing in the playoffs

The time given to this on the news over here annoys me.

Badoom tish! :)

Perforated rolls, e.g, kitchen rolls, they always tear across the paper just before the end.

Spare a thought for poor old Dumbarton. The stadium's built on land prime for development, the supporters don't trust the owners leaving some of the more paranoid amongst them deeply concerned about the future of the club. Dropping down to League Two was an absolute disaster.

The Sons are my Scottish team. Yes they are only part-time but they have made some seriously suspect decisions in recent seasons.

Have you ever been? A few weeks before Covid hit a few of us began making plans, a game under the rock was high on the agenda. Such a unique ground, it would be tragic if it were lost to luxury apartments, a hotel, or whatever.

The other thing that annoys me are those skip-like recycling bins you find in carparks. Maybe it's just dismal timing on my part, but every time I go they're full to the brim.

Yep. I think it was against Alloa a few seasons back, possibly in a relegation playoff first leg. Also watched them lose the Irn Bru cup final to ICT in Perth.

Gorgeous backdrop but from the stands all you can see is the housing estate development and a bit of the river.

I thought moving from Castle Road was already a done deal?

If you mean from a few years back, I think that fell through. Quite why, I'm not sure.

Are they made by Bounty by any chance?

We always use Costco's brand, but during the great Covid paper products panic buying we had to get what we could and ended up with a few packets of Bounty brand.

Never had the tearing problem with Costco brand, but without a conscious effort to prevent it Bounty just rips off the corners.

You mean Bownie , right?

Things that annoy you
 

No, you had me second guessing myself, but it’s Bounty. Maybe they are a west coast thing?

https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...9a0ccef852.jpg

Did you mean Brawny?

No American I have ever met, including the people who make and market the product, call it bounTy... I have no idea why the letter T is in the name of the product (this has been the subject of a thing that annoys me in the past).

I'm now saying Bouny with my best American accent...

Maybe I should just say Almond Joy... or is that Armond Joy?

And they have the cheek to change some of our spellings to make the spelling more phonetic. I'll give 'em plow. Damn uppety colonists.

Things that annoy you
 

They get a bonus point for saying Greenwich Village in New York correctly.... which always strikes me as odd.

Erbs

Like Baysil?

Ahragano

Isn't it Ereggahno?

At the end of the day it’s just a Womble…

Aloooooooooooominum.

I also hate the date format they use. Month, day , year.
Fkng morons.

Pardon my ignorance, but how do you say it correctly then??

It

Ask a stupid question...... :wallbash:

Can you walk there or do you need to drive in your KneeeSaarn?

It’s nice when we can all agree on something and get annoyed together, as a whole. One big unhappy family :D

Wrong thread that’s the “things that make you happy” thread

I beg to differ sir, end of the day is night for me.

I (and New Yorkers) say Gren-itch Village... but everywhere else you get Green-wich and Nor-wich.

Not quite phonetically correct I'm sure, but you get the gist...

Not sure where I came up with that... apparently I was thinking of Orinoco!

Just ignore me and my senile ramblings!

Had an American coming over with a work visa who arrived a month early because they misread the date on it.

Why do pregnant women hold their bellies in photos?

More GRIN-ij innit.

Thanks. The same way we pronounce the London borough :p and also the only version I personally have ever heard. Also 'Gren-idge' Mean Time, or is that different too?

Green-wich was what I was fearing as a Londoner, but I suppose there is no reason for Americans to follow...


Edit - Late again. WCB beat me

Why do women/couples now say we're pregnant?[emoji2369]

In case people think they are fat?

Who cares.....

Things that annoy you
 

Don’t get me started on how my wife (the American) pronounces Leicester or Worcestershire!

To be fair if I wasn’t English I might have the same issue with them.

Ears.




*(How posh people say "yes")

You sicken me.

I used to have the same problem explaining English pronunciation to Germans when I worked out there. Their usual response was...WHY??? (Or Warum, um Gottes Willen?). They weren't impressed with 'because it is'

I used to counter with, why is something simple like Tram Stop "Strassenbahnhaltestelle"? They used to reply 'at least we say it like it is', to which there is no answer. (To be fair, they did sometimes abbreviate it to 'S-Bahnhaltestelle'....)

Language, eh.

Most New Yorkers I know call it the village. Not Grenitch or Greenwich, just village.

‘My wife is pregnant’ does the same job, we know you are having a baby by that statement. Has the added benefit of making people not be sick in their mouths.

Behind a woman in Costa motorway services who ordered some abomination finished with a mountain of whipped cream, and then a hot cross bun latte. Only one guy serving.

Pardon my ignorance, but what is a hot cross bun latte ?

Diabetes in a cup

I don't condone violence but when someone in front of you does this in front of you in a station buffet and there only a few minutes till your train leaves the fist of death must be subdued!

To be fair, no-one told the Germans about spaces in 600-800 AD. Many of the really long ones seem to involve insurance... "Arbeiterunfallversicherungsgesetz"

Wankers on public transport, who either

Have their phone on loudspeaker and think we all want to listen to their banal conversation

Sit on the outside of a two seater hoping no one will sit next to them (On a crowded bus/train)

Disgusting?
