The worst thing about flying private jets is that one does not have any duty free shopping at the private terminal.

Oh no private jet for me, I have to put up with that ancient Dreamliner that sets itself on fire mid flight. First world problem indeed!

Opening night at a new restaurant, taxis all booked, a few pre dinner drinks with friends before. Drinks ordered, after 30 minutes of waiting and repeatedly asking for them we walked out.

Just can't get the staff these days. Close to dehydration.

Waitrose had run out of their 4 packs of plum tomatoes so I had to buy 4 separate ones instead and bag them myself. Disgusting really.

Tsk. The only establishment that should be use to procure eyewear is the airport duty free, where one can bask in the glory of paying at least 50% over the prices that commoners pay from *shudder* internet retailers. Also, only 5 star? Surely 7 star is the minimum!

My Dad was taken prisoner there.
Not seen the film for years and he passed away nearly 4 years ago.
Going to be a bit strange next time I see it.

Bit harsh of the BBC. Presume he hadn't paid his licence fee?

I've just had leaflet showing offers at the 'Lidl' super market wedged in my letter box. Luckily it didn't fall onto the carpet so I pushed it back outside with a stick, where I pray the wind will blow it away. An upgrade to my perimeter defenses is called for I fear, that was a bit too close for comfort.
I genuinely laughed out loud at that, not a problem until everyone in the vicinity looks around to see why :-)

Just wait until you get the bill for lost revenue.

20 mins x 20 tollbooths x 4 cars per minute x £2 per car = £3200 plus £500 recovery.

Is that true?

I may be being naive here.

I was driving to a friends house the other day, and since my last visit some rather large speed humps have appeared. Not the ok speed humps which run the width of the road but two mountains (one either side.) which have had the tops lopped off.

So I approached said mountain with caution as my current car is a bit low. While navigating round/over said mountain of a speed hump, a car tried to over take me because they thought I had stopped. frown
