Really hot and stuffy and the recycled air is always horrible takes me a day to feel normal again. Yes I know this is blatant first world problems. Business class seats don’t get an air vent! It’s inhumane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They also give you a massive meal for the flight which is a bonus, which still includes peanuts as a pre drink snack which I thought went out years ago. And the person next to me knitted the entire flight which I thought a knitting needle would be a security risk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I accidentally took my darts on two flights and then purposefully returned with them on another two flights, the last of which I was certain I'd finally lose them but fortunately not. Maybe they are allowed, I mean you can just take a pint glass in the airport and you've got a more dangerous potential weapon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisp65 Posted 16 hours ago Share Posted 16 hours ago On a business trip through Heathrow, they pulled my bag out of the camera machine thing, unzipped it, and pulled out the small copper and wires contraption wrapped in clear plastic. ”what’s this?” ”don’t know to be honest” ”why have you got it?” ”my boss gave it to me just as we came around the corner” ”you said you packed your own bag?” ”I did, I just don’t know what that is. John! John, what’s this little copper thing? (from the next line across) “I think it’s some sort of boiler timer thing” waved through 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seat68 Posted 14 hours ago Share Posted 14 hours ago It is perfect for this as I know Halloween and Christmas do piss people off. Not me, I left the house on Saturday for a week in Suffolk, there was Halloween shit all over the place, when I return it will be kicked up a notch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted 13 hours ago Share Posted 13 hours ago One firearms officer stationed in each town centre of an evening with the sole aim of mowing down as many delivery app riders on illegal ebikes as they can, that's all I ask. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it being VT, they should leave the ones alone in the balaclvas riding a Suron's at 70mph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
