I have walked into Asia from Europe.

Thanks, adrenalin john.

In fairness, I made no suggestion that one society was pure and deeply spiritual, and the other was corrupt and evil. Nor did I mention sex, or drugs.

No comment, for once.

Same here, and I am not AJ

Flying over Urals was always exciting as you would be looking for MIG’s doing their drills, anyway that is not annoying and I digress

Pretty sure that's a comment.

Suppose it’s my mistake for reading twatter, but since the release of Oppenheimer there’s been a wave of historically illiterate people saying some really stupid shit about Imperial Japan and the War in general.

I assume you are disagreeing with “xe/xem”?

Unrelated but in a similar ballpark, the recent attempts by US far right politicians to convince people that slavery was actually positive for black people because it forced them to learn skills and trades that they otherwise wouldn’t have. Putrid.

What's more likely in fact almost certain to happen in the next twelve years or so with the number of teams expanding and their national team improving (albeit at a snail's pace) is the prospect of the Israel national side qualifying for a World Cup.

Using hot and cold balls to keep them apart from one or two sides is easy but keeping them apart from the potentially ten or so Muslim-majority nations (if the African qualifiers chiefly come from N Africa and Indonesia have got a good side by then) will be impossible.

Or whether you were helping Cilla over the rickety bridge...

Yes.

The constant whining and whinging pre and post wilf leaving by the same people who talk as if everything they say is fact and then claim its an opinion when they get challenged.

Dyson products - over-priced tat bought by people with more money than sense.

This'll annoy you then. DC01 vacuum, bought well over 25 yrs ago, given regular new filters etc and the odd service still going.

No Triggers broom jokes. Take care of things most will last.

We have a Numatic Henry vacuum cleaner bought in the late '80s for about £60 that is still going strong although well-used and abused.


An ad for this spiked my ire:

Very rare I ever say my Missus annoys me, in fact I think it's a first on here.

Her steadfast refusal to take any responsibility for our joint finances, Refuses to look at anything to do with banking. She leaves it totally up to me. Except for the proviso, which isn't very often admittedly, but the proviso when she wants something she gets it. Whether that be a Spa Pool for the back garden, an onsite Caravan, an extension on the house, a new kitchen, or whatever she asks for. If I ever dare so no, then it's on.

This time it's a River Cruise, with all the trimmings. "After all she worked for 45 years as well"

Has no idea what we have or how it will impact us. "just do it'

If we were to split the finances in half, she'd probably blow her half in 5 years. Then I'd be back in the same boat.... (on a different cruise lol)

Should be a Dear Majorie, that one.

Feel your pain though mine is slightly different. My wife gave up work when our twin girls were born, she refused to work as she needed to be at home for them. They are now 18 and about to go to uni, she works as a dinner miss in a primary school doing 1 3/4 hours a day. It probably costs her as much to get their in petrol for the week as she earns. We also have to go on holiday in peak time as she isn't allowed time off during term time time. She tells me she is looking for a new job but wants still to work part time, doesn't want to work in an office, won't do a driving job and can't seem to get past an major supermarket AI bot to stack shelves.
Everytime I bring it up it ends up in a row as I am a patronising barstard apparently.

Paying £48 for a phone charger at an airport. I was rushing because they have too few check in desks open in the first place and if you're not ready when check in opens its an hour.

That rush means I forgot my charger because I had to repack to a smaller bag due to this airlines much tighter policy than my usual.

I have to repack due to the airlines smaller bags policy. I cant let that delay me due to the airports insufficient staff. In my haste I forgot a simple charger and get raped for nearly fifty quid, same as my ******* ticket for something I've got 20 of at home. Raging!

Calm down bigend, it is only a charger :)

Haste maketh waste

Labyrinthitus.

It’s like trying to move when you are drunk.

Is that an allergic reaction?

Sympathies old boy

Couldn't you have waited til you got to your destination, found a shop and bought one there? Or borrow one?

I'm flying from an airport, to an airport to stay at an airport hotel, to work from and airport to fly to my home airport to go home. I'd have ti get a taxi to a shop and thus pay the same amount ish with added bullshit :frown:

Most hotels have a charger you can borrow. Some even have charging points.

It’s a type of ear infection I think. A week ago I couldn’t hear properly out of my right ear and tinnitus had started. Today my hearing is a bit better (tinnitus remains) but now my balance is totally ****ed.

Yeah probably. But a pretty big day for my new job tomorrow. I'll not sleep thar well if I didn't get one and my phone was on a few % for the alarm. Plus I need a fully charged ipad for work.

Is what it is. Just frustrating and the cost is taking the piss

I know how you feel. I got my rectum resized by Apple in Milan for because I forgot my travel plug. Couldn’t find anyone selling adaptors so as a last resort had to hand over obscene amounts to them.


Good luck tomorrow!

Gosh, hope it clears up soon.

Yep the worst. I got it a few times.
I was once in a meeting and the guy in front of me, just slid to the right corner of my eye and the room started spinning. I had to grab the table.

Couple of drops of olive oil in your ear every couple of weeks will keep it at bay.

Murphy's law init :)

Good luck tomorrow.

I’ll try that.

Supposed to be driving to the NW tonight, which I cannot imagine is a good idea. Might have to let my wife drive my car, which she’s never done because she’s a terrified of the size of it (it’s not exactly a massive SUV or anything like that).

Alex Scott’s voice. What she says is great and intelligent but her voice is like chalk on a blackboard. I have to watch via subtitles with the sound muted.

Blimey, you must have to turn off when Emma Hayes is on

Yep:)

Is the hose still original, without numerous repairs? If so WOW.

Assuming you mean labyrinthitis you have all my sympathies. My missus gets it occasionally and it is an absolute bastard.

My old mum gets labyrinthitis. It’s awful.

Sympathies.

Dear Adlerhorst
Being truthful, sometimes my good self experiences a "Buzzing" in my right ear at night which can be very irksome as it affects my sleep.This "Buzzing" tends to occur during periods when I have blocked nasal passages requiring the use of "Sinus Micromist".Cannot hear the "Buzzing" during the day and it has not affected my balance which is just as well as I have to use a "Walking stick" to aid my movement. Ruddy infuriating in the dead of the night.

This trolley is a modern walking medical miracle.

Arthritis, buzzing in ear, nasal blockage, walking aid needed to move round.

Where is that 'hole in the head' when you need it.

FOAD you filthy Aids c~nt.

I have had very bad tinnitus for a few years. These are by far the best palliative I have found, and really do help me sleep.

Being away from here when plastic lanyard reference took hold and not knowing what it refers to.

He’s got aids in both ears.

Think ‘keys in a bowl’. It’s how we’ve brokered peace on the Meghan thread.

Dear Razors Edge
Just to clarify the "Buzzing in ear" and "Nasal Blockage" are intermittent and connected so not permanent afflictions.The "Walking aid" is a walking stick and not a "Zimmer frame".That said, some of the ailments are very frustrating but minor compared to some of the ghastly illnesses suffered by many.At present I don't have a pain in my posterior but it would appear that some on the "Good Ship BBS" believe I am one.My good self does not consider myself as a "Walking medical miracle".
Regards.I do hope you and all have an enjoyable weekend.

Phew! I am relived Trolley old chap. I think I can sleep now in the night, knowing you are safe :)

Hearing aids I take it

Mate, it is a long story.

JBG's explanation here is one of the best and I got tears in my eyes by laughing as I am re reading it.

Dear Razors Edge
A chap sat next to me the other day in "Costa Coffee" and I heard all about his "Bernafon" hearing aids.He was a rather annoying fellow interrupting what I was saying and his subject of speech was "Boring on stilts", examples being camera straps and model railways.:wallbash::wallbash::S: He did annoy me.

I wouldn’t risk it. It comes in waves.
Made me very sick and bombing up a motorway wouldn’t be the best thing.

My brother in law is involved in a Tinnitus help group, they have meet ups in Bromley.

https://tinnitus.org.uk/support-for-...support-group/

Genuine question, as I might not know the background here. Does WCB have some kind of special dispensation by the mods of this group to post stuff like this?

Seems a bit over the top tbh, but then again, like I say, WCB might have some special need which means he is exempt from this sort of stuff, which I am not aware of.

Perhaps you are under the delusion that Trolley is an actual person rather than a tedious jape many years past it's sell by date.

I wouldn’t post things like that against anyone else, not even Maidstoned.

He is the official BBS all licensed Fool.
Can do whatever shit he likes.

My dear Del Fenner.
No "Persona" far removed from what my good self is like but I am used to such accusations on the "Good Ship BBS".Very annoying and infuriating."Tedious" - I have been referred to in far more derogatory language and in my "80s" so well past my best date.
Kind regards to you and I wish you a nice weekend.

Have you seen The Dream Team with Michael Keaton? He’s one of them*.

*A window-licker.

Biggus likes model railways and is getting on a bit.

I'd be hard pressed to find anything on stilts, boring.

For the most part wcb passes under the radar.

Let me put it another way. He is banned from limbo dancing contests,

Dear PeterH

"Wor Biggus" would have enjoyed chatting to the old bore who I had the misfortune of meeting. Scruffy man,craggy face, looked late 70s, younger than my good self.This fellow started to "Educate" me with "N Gauge" and "Diesel locos" - No interest to me at all. He really was an annoying and irritating pest and I should have called him a "Shunter".
Regards Peter and I wish you a happy weekend.Now about to depart for "Haskins" garden centre at Snowhill.

Re-reading my BBS posts an hour or so after posting and noticing a punctuation or spelling error and feeling compelled to edit them.

You've just described Biggus.

Not if you just remind yourself how much you're being paid.

Bish Bosh. Loadsamoney.

Good job, or WCB will be there correcting you. You don't want that init :)

In which case I’d advise you to avoid the scones. (Although it’s probably a bit late by now!)

Boxing commentators apologising for any swearing. I'm watching two blokes beat the shit out of each other after 9pm. F*ck off.

Do I want to see a video of a dog 'singing' an aria?
No, I do not.
Or a picture of your cat, your dinner, your f*cking DIY?
F**k. Off.

OK, sorry. Some Euro/ non "eastern" competition then. My bad, but you get the gist. ******* detail editors.

Costa Coffees new logo. Inclusivity has now gone too far. Ask any woman that has had a Mastectomy if it makes them feel good. Wankers.

Maybe, but he's ok nowoooooo

Damn the time difference I was going to post that one.

Crap pop songs from around mid-2000s that include the 'artist' name-checking himself at the start, whereby someone shouts, for example, 'Sean Kingston!' or 'Jason Derulo!' Very annoying, basically turns a piece of music into an advertisement. Maybe if some of the more established artists could also copy this vibe? You get the idea, a gentle pop music melody begins then someone bellows 'Lionel Richie!'

John Lee Hooker shouting "Bonnie Raitt" on "I'm in the Mood*

Desk-mounted monitor support arms - they are all useless. Gravity wins again.

Root canal treatment.

Yes indeed. I just had one done and it was through a bridge so extra fun and very costly :(

Can you not adjust the tension?
We've got a great one with internal springs so it can suit whatever size/weight is put on the end.
We have it in the campervan where it folds out of the way in-transit.

******* HMRC. Why the **** do they make everything so complex? *****

to justify their jobs and to catch you out

Just driven back home today M40, M25 and M23 jeez some of the dangerous driving observed could have ended so differently and tragically really unbelievable, and then at slower speeds wankers pushing into queuing lanes right at the very last moment even across marked out areas people are just so selfish, not sure how many times I shouted out 'what a wanker'
