There's a very light breeze, and the gazebo is swaying like prime Elvis. I believe the wind is due to pick up... Can I have an update please?

Sadly they also noticed that the gazebo was jiggling like an excited dog, and set up some guylines. But it was a completely miserable day and they looked appropriately suicidal so we can claim a small victory. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
It's Your Round Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 About an hour ago I opened up my AirPod case to find they were missing. Like an idiot I’d left them in my pocket and put them in the wash and the machine has been on for over an hour. Anyway I fished them out and they only still bloody work! I did not expect that.

Just arrived for the return flight, super friendly checkin and they are giving out free food vouchers to every passenger. Once through the small but quick security everyone can grab a free cheese burger / fried chicken sandwich / hot dog or ham and cheese toastie, bag of crisps and bottle of water. The security guard gave the children a security badge sticker. Ive never been in an airport like it. I’m not looking forward to the warzone in the baggage claim at BHX in about 10 hours time. Dave, they gave you a soda, chips, (whats' fruit?) and some cookies. Oh and it's a grilled cheese. How are people going to know you've been to Florida unless you use American terminology for the next few weeks? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very true, the funny thing was they did translate the sign and voucher to English to avoid any confusion. They probably got fed up with some irate Brits demanding “fries” instead of a bag of Lays. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post mjmooney Posted June 8, 2022 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted June 8, 2022 Many years ago there used to be an American bluegrass band called The Seldom Scene. There is currently a British bluegrass band called The Often Herd. I approve of such wordplay. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
