Remember when I was laughing a few months back when I got an extremely cheap upgrade to Business Class on some flights? No? Never mind, well I did.

So, I turn up at Luton Airport and settle into the quiet zone of the Business Class lounge...only to be joined by a family with four kids, the youngest of which was about 3 and was shouting about as loudly as she could.

I asked one of the assistants who worked in there if I was actually in the quiet zone, or if I had got it wrong. I was told that I was indeed in the quiet zone, and was then asked why I was confused, and I explained. The assistant then proceeded to do...absolutely nothing!

There's no point even complaining, it doesn't work!

Oh you total wag.
 
I'm looking at doing the Paris one, I doubt I will do it in under 2.40 though.

Sorry, it was a bit tongue in cheek.

Get yourself into a running club. possibly more than one, make sure they are AAA affiliated, keep in with the distance group and then when the get awarded places in the London they may have a draw for them , just gives you an increased chance.
Also the group training will greatly assist in the preparation too.
 
Southend losing.

Daughters got a bug that is causing both ends issues and it's not nice. Bless her she has never had anything like this. It's stopped us going to look at a new car too.
 
Blokes that put their bag between their feet and then put their legs in the ten to ten position on packed trains.
 
This morning on dog walk to Priory Park, before 8 am I was inches from death on the green man crossing, stung by a wasp by the pond and then pooped on by an "eagle". Not the best day start.

Never trust a green man, coming over here, stealing all the crossings from the good traditional English Zebras, send 'em back
 
I think you can just reduce it to 'people on public transport in general'.

Especially the lady on the train this morning. There I am, standing up, when seat become available. She offers it to me, and I decline (because I'm only going 2 more stops) and she sits down. She then turns to her boyfriend and asks him if he wants the seat.

Cheeky cow. If she didn't want the seat why did she sit down in the first place? As it happens her boyfriend said no...
 
45 minutes in the dentist chair, first stage root canal treatment. I tried exploring getting the work done at Guys Hospital earlier and got the dental equivalent of Foxtrot Oscar, hey ho!

I remember a friend of mine telling me a story about his visit to the dentist. He has really bad teeth (and eyes for the matter) and visited and dentist that went through all the work he needed done. My friend asked how much that all came to. The reply was somewhere around £3,500. My friend then said, "Clearly I'm not going to pay that much, so how much are you going to do it for?"

As far as I remember they settled at about £2,000.
 
The hubby covering a colleague's work while he is away on hols, getting up at 3 a.m. and going to do a Heathrow pick up to find the guy has booked someone else as the colleague didn't return his calls! :angry:

Did the dentist repeatedly ask 'Is it safe?'
