I much prefer going to retail parks on the outskirts of the city for stuff than the city centre. The 2 main ones in Inverness both have a Tesco Extra, and smaller food store, clothes stores, massive garden centres, restaurants, a cinema, a massive play centre. and most importantly; free parking. The only time in in the city centre now is for a night out. For stuff you can't get at a retail park, you get it online. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesP_81 Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 People who use clever sounding words for something then immediately give the layman term for it, as if to cater for the 'less educated' listeners. Woman on the radio talking about a "cessation of hostilities, or 'cease fire'". Either use language that you're confident your demographic will understand or treat them like adults capable of being exposed to less frequently used words you patronising c*nt. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reminds me of that time my curly wig fell off in public at its premiere in April 1805. Complete minter.

IainMorton Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 The amount of additional charges when buying gig tickets. Just bought two tickets that were £30 each but for each ticket I had to pay a service charge, handling fee (what’s the difference?) and a facilities fee which meant the total was £71. Obviously don’t mind paying for postage, but the other fees are a joke. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
throbber Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 Have felt pretty sick for 3 days of my week off so far and today is the worst day yet. I’ll no doubt feel fine for being back at work on Monday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Moonster Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 Really starting to hate the song "Together in Electric Dreams" because of those fucking c***s in that cider advert, which is a shame. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet if you were to rock up to the venue's box office, where they have the overheads of property, utilities, employing people to sit and serve you - none of those charges are applied, and you just buy a ticket for face value. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I once went to Ticket Scotland under central station bridge to buy a ticket and expected to pay face value. I was raging when I was charged a service fee for the girl to spin round in her seat and take the ticket out of a drawer before spinning back round and handing it to me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Blades Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 Bunch of lads on a stag do in the pub I’m currently drinking in- fair enough-they got a little rowdy with the female singer, but nothing overtly threatening or personal. They’ve now come to the inside area and demanded the most expensive Hennessy Cognac from behind the bar, originally asking for a full bottle of it. The very polite barman calculated the price and they were told it would be around £500. They are now drinking single measures of the cheapest Hennessy they have available. What gets on my nerves is the way they approached the bar all cocky as if they were in a fiddy video & then backtracked on it all. What’s the point? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pandarilla Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 let's do an acoustic version of a song called 'together in ELECTRIC dreams' hipster arsehole cockwombles.

Very clever marketing, although it won't make me buy their cider. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
