LondonHMFC Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 18 minutes ago, Shotgun said: I've written before about how the military are worshiped to an unhealthy degree here. You'll see guys strutting around wearing baseball caps with the name of a battleship on them, or 'Vietnam Veteran' and the like and almost everyone feels the need to tell them 'Thank you for your service', which is of course, what they're after. If they're in uniform; people will pick up their tabs in restaurants, bring their kids over to shake their hands and if they walk into a bar, you can actually hear the sound of women's underwear falling to the floor. For some reason the other week came across a series of YouTube videos "What would you do?" which focuses on American's being put in a situation and showing their reaction. Almost all that I have watched have featured ex military being short of money and someone stepping into help, or a military person stopping a form of racial abuse. Whilst I think it is good to respect those in the armed forces, can't help but feel they just go about 100 extra steps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
throbber Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 I'm sure this has been said before but I don't see that many people being c***s on holiday because I don't go places that there are numerous c***s. the place I've been to most in terms of a touristy place is Cyprus and everywhere I've gone has been fine. I've not been to Ayia Napa but I know I wouldn't enjoy that so I'll leave it to people who do. ICT Chris goes to Faliraki twice a year and complains angrily to the locals when he can't watch Gillette Soccer Saturday, drink Tennents and eat a full Scottish breakfast (not necessarily in that order).

Shandon Par Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 1 hour ago, printer said: The biggest plane c*nts are the flight companies themselves who can't put in place a simple, efficient process for boarding planes. They come up with all sorts of pointless shit, like "gold cardholders can board first" which simply means that said gold card holding c*nts block eryone else from getting to their seats quickly because they are standing in the aisle still stuffing their hand luggage (which is invariably way over the recommended size) into the overhead lockers. Why oh why can they enforce a board by seat row process? I don't mean by groups of seats, that just tickles the congestion problem and makes it more frustrating, I mean by row. Call them out one by o e starting with the back one. Anyone who then tries to jump the queue is hauled off the flight, no questions asked and no second chances. More of a business travel than holiday thing, but still. Grrrr! I never get why folk rush to get on the plane. I'll just sit and read my book, booze away or listen to stuff until all the great unwashed are out of the way then saunter on. We're not going to get there any quicker.

mizfit Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 Ha! That brings up a slightly off-topic memory from when I worked in bank back in the 1980's. If you bought traveller's cheques (ask your parents) from us, it included travel insurance for children if they were travelling with a parent. I had to explain to one customer that even though she was going on holiday with her mother, she didn't qualify because she was in her fifties and therefore, not a child. When she first asked; I thought she was just having some fun with the idea but no, she was deadly serious. Talked about getting a solicitor onto us and everything. I've actually had the same argument with someone in my job over that. Explaining their 30 year old son still qualifies because he was financially dependent (unemployed) and unmarried. The documents said he needed to pay after 18 no matter the circumstances. Fucking lunatics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Throbber got in an argument with a German holidaymaker over a towel on a lounger and started shouting "IF IT WASN'T FOR THE ENGLISH YOU'D BE KRAUTS AT HIM". He then fell over and his wife refused to speak to him for three days of the holiday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tarapoa Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 44 minutes ago, The OP said: It's funny how everyone I speak to considers seat recliners to be c***s and yet planes are always full of them. There should be a protocol for seat reclining - and maybe a dragons den opportunity is a lock/machine type gizmo so that the airline staff can enforce it, rather than passengers getting needlessly frustrated with each other. Seats should NEVER be reclined during take-off, landing, meal times, any flight less than three hours. On long-haul/ overnight flights - and all the meal stuff is over, it's more acceptable. ~~~~~ Also as neddish as many UK holidaymakers can be, they seem to get the concept of queuing without too many problems. Holidaymakers from certain countries just don't seem to grasp this at all - with Russian tourists, who seem to be 80% the spawn of hood gangs, taking deliberate ambivalence of this to a new level. They are c**ts, who found capitalism, and believed that acting a c**t is the way to embrace it. Bring back the iron curtain...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supermik Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 There were Russkies at the hotel I was in at Cancun. The boys used to empty peoples sun loungers then put them into the shallow pool for their bimbo girlfriends to lie on. There was a couple that got married at a little gazebo just across from our balcony. As they were being congratulated by some people a couple of the bimbos approached them with a camera, they handed them the camera then demanded that the couple took a photograph of the pair of them. Quite possibly the worst people that I have ever seen on holiday. Anyhoo. Surprised that nobody appears to have mentioned the fact that the riffraff now can pay a little extra to get access to the executive lounges. Uncivilised c***s the lot of them.

Haven't really been on that sort of a holiday since I was a kid but surely as long as you don't throw them on the floor or they have just got up to go to the bar or something then it's fair game? the place I am at the now has a 60 minute towel/sunbed policy. if you leave a towel on a sunbed unattended for more than an hour it gets hooked aff by the pool staff.

My wife like to get a tan and read books in the sun, so I come along and stay in the room watching films. this is the worst so far because I cant get to pittodrie on Thursday. Love hurts.
