FFS, it's 2024.
Did he choose that name or did his parents give it to him?

It's tough having Guy Gibson as a parent. :thumbdown:

Mrs Y is on the plane at Luton airport. It's been delayed coz a family of 4 were kicking off and abusive to staff.
So plane has been delayed an hour while police escorted them off.

At this time of year, a holiday is expensive and they've blown the lot.

Stupid doesn't quite describe it.
Favourite daughter deals with this on a daily basis and regularly sports cuts and bruises from gobby drunks. The law is unbelievably lenient in most cases. I wouldn't last a crack in her job.

Heineken zero & Guinness zero are my missus's zeros of choice (at least from what's available in les local shoppes anyway). In Spain recently San Miguel zero also rated highly. But yeah apparently 1664 zero is awful.

I refer the Right Honourable Gentleman to my previous answer: mix a 0% version 50/50 with the proper beer of the same label*. Tastes alright.

*Obvs not if driving, operating machinery, flying a commercial jet, etc.

I sometimes effectively do that, but not in the same glass :D. For BBQs and stuff I often do 1:1 or 2:1 0%/full fat beers.

Means I can have some cold ones with the boys without getting shit faced. Plus there're a fuck tonne of calories in beer :lol:

Trouble being, your taste buds are canny wee buggers...

First 0% - OK, I'm fooled.

First proper beer - oooh...better.

Second 0% - WHAT IS THIS SHITE?!

You were pissed on 3 beers in my local. Maybe you should try harder with 0% stuff :obscene-birdiedoublered:

The Manchester tram network.

Not the whole of the infrastructure, just the section outside my hotel window which makes it sound like I have a tram actually passing next to my bed since about 5am....

Euston Station. What a complete carbuncle of a station it is. I have no other suggestion than to level it and the surrounding areas with a small tactical nuclear warhead.

It's "my" station for going to London.

If you look at pictures from the 1960s when the current station was first built it looks pretty cool in that 60s TWA silk screen poster sort of way.

Shame it doesn't really come across that way any more :lol:

There's a great little bakery just down the road though.

It went downhill after Hema closed up IMO. Handy for the Wellcome collection and 30 Euston Square though.

Why?
Because if you have a well behaved dog that's sitting at the bar / under your table whilst enjoying a pint, who give a shit.
However, if you've got stupid small panty dogs that are on the verge of dying from an asthma attack or dogs that bark and try and get into every plate the servers are bringing out it's unhygienic and bloody annoying.

Clearly the problem could be solved by owners training their dogs, but most don't, hell if the local facebook page it to be believed 90 plus percent don't even pick up their shit from the pavement.
