"How did they make this film?" "How fast is this plane going?" "How many chefs does this hotel have?" I don't **** know! How would I know that?! When I'm on a long haul flight I always seem to get the seat where the entertainment is knackered and I have to watch the sky map for 10 hours, so number 2 isn't really a problem. I could give it to her in mph, kph and knots. (and tell her the speed of the plane lol) 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was walking up to Colmore Row to get my lunch and was crossing the road when a bloke nearly crashed into me. He was in a convertible Mercedes with the top down, sunglasses on, blasting 'Sandstorm' by Darude at full volume. He looked like an absolute pillock, but what are you gonna do. Was it a black Mercedes? If so i think I encountered him at about 3:30pm on Colmore Row today. Blasting some euro pop song (don't think it was Sandstorm this time) Edited July 25, 2019 by Xela Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xela Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 Trains - in my case, the cross city line from Brum to Lichfield Cancelled most of the day twice this week. On Tuesday we got the bus home... never again. Today, black cabbed it. Absolute shambles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's warmer, switch it off. If it's air movement you're after, buy a fan or hire a punkha wallah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The f**kers upstairs in the greenhouse can fry for all I care. All they do is needlessly create work for me 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kurtsimonw Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 Trains. Just generally. They've barely been running all week. The replacement bus either doesn't show up or is incredibly late. When the train shows up, it's often late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
