Airport Shopping.
Recently at Glasgow Airport, went into WH Smiths for a magazine.
Need your boarding pass to purchase. WTF?
Just been through security,showing passport and boarding pass, X-rayed etc so now in an area where it is obvious I am about to board an aircraft.
'It's the rules Sir' - why can I then go next door to Starbucks and order coffee without being asked?
Crazy, and annoying beyond reason.
They tried that with me at Gatwick, was told after going through security that Boarding card was no longer needed until I got to the gate so gave boarding card and passport back to the missus who put them away for safe keeping, so when the till assistant asked me for a boarding card I did not have it! Needless to say I got the goods. Recently at Glasgow Airport, went into WH Smiths for a magazine.

Isn't it something to do with your destination and whether you can get things duty free?Recently at Glasgow Airport, went into WH Smiths for a magazine.

THIS
Surface dressing is what the council/highways agency call it.
Just what is the f
k is the point in laying the thinnest layer of bitumin over a cracked/pot holed/uneven surface before lightly scattering grit all over the place.
Barely days after the dressing has been applied all that has been achieved is to cover the 2 feet nearest the kerb and the middle of the road with stray gravel leaving most of the pot holes still present.
That's before we get onto stone chips

ked up all our expensive paintwork, not to mention chipped windscreens. You drive down the road at 15 to 20 mph and several tits then come the other way at 40 mph and cover you with stones

Still too angry to go and give the car a proper check over.

They have just done this around Bristol. I was impressed with how quick they are doing it, they did about 50 outside my flat in about 45 mins. Absolute mess though, piles of gravel down the sides of the road along with the middle. Now there are no road markings and haven't been for several weeks so cars are parking in the street where they shouldn't. Just plain laziness but their cars are going to be totally covered in stone chips so I'm not going to stop them.Surface dressing is what the council/highways agency call it.

Adults pretending to be children speaking. I don't mean Haribo (although they are annoying) but the new thing of an obvious adult woman playing the voice of a child.
The modern thing of fking about with the picture. I hate this sharp foreground focus and black edges where it looks like you are looking down a cardboard tube.

kers who are driving at 30+ that you should be angry with. You can always pick a route that hasn't been surface dressed for a fortnight if you're that worried about your paint. Do you drive down roads that are flooded, then complain that you've got a water-locked engine, or do you find another route?
Surface dressing is a s
t load cheaper and quicker than resurfacing and if it means a Road has to be passed carefully for a couple of weeks then so be it. They wouldn't do it if it was useless. Google Maps. Nokia HERE Maps. Two years ago these were promising products. Now ste.
The google maps upgrade seems to have been to make it more like HERE Maps, which was partially 3D and thus very cool. So now google takes forever to do anything at all and then, whenever you search, it zooms out, throwing everything away and starting again.
And HERE Maps just plain won't download a map at all.
Argh.

Idiots on TV quiz shows.
Just saw a question that was - 'Who's real name is destiny hope?
Miley Cyrus
Katy Perry
Jennifer Aniston.
The guy answering said 'I know Miley Cyrus' dad is called Billy Ray Cyrus, but I'm not sure if that's his real name so it can't be Miley Cyrus and so I'll say it's Jennifer Aniston .
How does that logic work?

The hideous Saturday night game shows where the contestants must be coached to talk their logic in order to take up as much time as possible so the 15 minute show can last 45 minutes. But these people are imbeciles so they have no logic and they get to the wrong answer in such a convoluted, idiotic fashion. ARRRRGGGGGGHHHHHHH

I thought that was part of the appeal of such shows - to laugh at the imbeciles.
