Well it certainly won't be hers. She can't open the bloody things either!

******* idiots on ebay

I've had 100% positive feedback for a decade or more

Today I get a neutral , OK it's still 100% + but still

This is what he wrote

Arrived OK but could've been packaged better , it might have snapped in half , I caught my postman trying to put it though my letterbox

So numbnuts isn't happy because the item arrived OK , not snapped in half due to obviously adequate packaging , and somehow it's my fault the postman tried to post it

Another **** on the blocked list.

I hate ’feedback’ like this. We had some on our holiday cottage, basically it read “ we love the cottage, everything we needed and more, would stay again. Parking might be a problem for some, we didn’t struggle to park, but some might…” wtf

Just checking in to my sleazy jet flight to Munich tomorrow, I didn't reserve any seats as I didn't feel the need to had over another 40 quid for the flight cost nor am I taking any luggage (laptop excluded).
I've just checked in and have an isle seat there and a window seat on the way back. And the plane is half empty!

When it's half empty they should let you sit where TF you want! And not charge for it!

Don't get me started on having to wear a mask there and back!!!!!

I flew to Belgium on easyjet 20 years ago
I was offered the option for priority boarding but as I was flying alone I didn't care where I sat

200 people waiting to board the plane with a corralled area at the front , the priority boarding was a 30 second head start , when they released the crowd some of them made it to the plane before those that'd paid extra

Fog lights on in torrential rain... Have driven from deepest darkest Cornwall to N Wales today, all the way in rain and the number of fog lights people turn on astounds me. It's not fog, it's torrential rain and all you're doing is dazzling me and preventing me from seeing your brake light or indicators.. Oh and get out of the outside lane doing 55...

Flying is like a bus ride to me, I don't get paying thousands more for a better airline or seat, it's not like it gets you there any quicker and unless you're flying to Australia at most it's 10 hours, European destinations it's 2-3 hours, if I can fly there for £49 that suits me, mind you I'm not 7ft tall

The woke announce themselves in so many places - complaining on behalf of somebody who 'may' wish to complain. Cucking bunch of funts.

Speedy boarding was handy on easyJet before they had allocated seating, now the only real benefit is a better chance of getting your hand luggage in the overhead lockers.

When you are on the plane - if you ask nicely, I find they let you move to empty seats.

I thought they updated The mask policy so the poor vegan germo-fookin-phope who felt ‘threatened’ by non mask wearers - would be politely told to F##k off and get another flight or walk.

just hoping

So now 'woke' is just a universal term for anyone a bit annoying, is it?

The masks on planes and trains idea is that:
If someone with a fairly mild covid infection sits on a plane without a mask, they will, over a couple of hours, put maybe 10,000 viruses into the air that you are breathing, giving you a 25% chance of getting infected enough to at least test positive and be somewhat inconvenienced (or die, if you are immuno-compromised).
If the same person wears a mask, they will emit about 100 viruses, giving you a negligible chance of being infected.

philw696 · May 12, 2022

Having recently been on planes and trains I have no objection to wearing one as both modes of transport were full.
My rant is those that still don't wear them correctly.
