Should be relatively simple to operate and at the exorbitant costs for a ticket these days shouldn’t have a problem with running an effective and reliable service.

Bandcamp is one of the few sites that has my card details stores. Click, buy, done. Why make it more difficult Its also bloody stupid given the processing charges PayPal levy. There are much cheaper payment solutions out there like Lopay. I switched from PayPal to them and cut my processing fees by over two thirds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Behind us was a stereotypical woke vegan middle class family. One of the children (aged 10 ish) was having a tantrum because her desired meal wasn't remotely the sort of food on the menu. The father disciplined her by saying : "Your actions are making the other diners perceive you as having an inappropriately inflated sense of entitlement." Be honest. It was @bickster and his family, wasn't it? That's just the sort of thing he'd say. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't think I would need to include details like this in what was a mildly humourous story. But I was in a Turkish Restaurant. At one point the father was loudly explaining the oppression of various ethnic groups by the Ottoman Empire and drawing parallels to the struggles of ethnic groups in the current day Balkans. If you would like to know how I know they were Vegan - they ordered Vegan meals. Of course, none of that is conclusive proof. But you really can't assess my judgement. I didn't use the terms in a derogatory way. I even described them a a stereotypical version. Inother words, I was describing them as not typical of woke people but more of an extreme example. Couldn't we just save a lot of time and you simply tell me what part of my post you have problems with and explain why? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Zen Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 Time for my annual raging against premature xmas crap in shops. Eff the eff off! It’s still October! Also, people just leaving their shopping trolleys in the middle of the car park because they’re too effing lazy to take it back to the bay.
