  • Got premium tickets some food is free, did make use of the duty free buying 12 year old Redbreast for £35.
    Thankfully, booked a hotel not far from Holyhead, if we get in.

    Hope you make it in, possibly half cut with the Redbreast. btw what's the tobacco prices like?

    Don’t know mate.

    The harbour master still hasn’t opened the port, he will check the weather conditions at 10pm and decide.

    they should of said it wouldn't make it instead of getting you to get an earlier ferry and then being stuck on it. Wouldn't surprise me if the ferry company said yeah it can do it so it gets those on board buying stuff/food/drink. 

    Is Holyhead bit of a problem then if its slightly rough seas? 
    Yes because the margin from the sales of 50 additional tubes of Pringles, some Haribo and half a dozen pints of Fosters will far exceed the operational and fuel cost of 5 additional hours at sea.

    Idling, cars specifically. Boats too. Anything making emissions for no good reason, I.e. usually connected to going somewhere. Counted 4 cars and a lorry doing it today on a short walk in to town and back. It's against the law but very rarely enforced.


  • When does it count as a cruise?
  • Finally off after 21 hours, had originally booked a hotel room, can stay until 2pm, some will get some sleep.💤 
  • Watching the Liechtenstein v Wales game. Player out- player in, when substituting players on the screen. 
    Every time I watch football on the television something or someone has to do something that annoys the heck out of me. 
    The other the commentators Dixon and Matterface were incredibly annoying.

    Anyone who sits in the first 10 rows from the ring at the boxing

    My mate bringing politics into a discussion I initiated on AI, then moaning that I have brought up politics...

    International breaks are soooo boring. Can we continue with the real football please.
  • Buses in the countryside. If one breaks down that's it. Now having to wait 2 hours for the next bus which will be packed with school kids. Not helped that it's freezing cold and I feel rough.

    Sainsbury, If there is a more avaricious company I would be surprised. 
    Customer service has collapsed and the staff appears to have been cut to the bone. 
    No manned checkouts, they would have you climb onto the back of the truck and pick the items. No managers walking around the shop. 
    Just absolutely nothing to make shopping a pleasure, given I spend more than 20k per year with these people.

    But no more! Sainsbury’s you have lost me and my custom for ever!

    Yeah, I had the same issue last week. Was about 35 years too late to have anything to cut.

    The Sainsbury’s on Pickford Lane is shocking for this. They have security tags on everything, so you need someone to take them off when you pay, but nobody is ever behind the counter, they’re off doing something else. 
  • Timing it wrong at the barbers
    Who needs barbers these days?
  • Being told our electric will be off all day tomorrow………….so they can do engineering works………on a Saturday.
    Ffs, not everyone wants to spend all day in the shops.
    Got to hope my 4G stays and my phone doesn’t run out of charge. Thank Feck it’s an early kick off 🫣😫😭😭😭😭

    WH Smiths (or whatever its called now)@ Bluewater, three self service tills, all needing supervisor help, one poor assistant on the till with a queue of about 12-15, who was unable to get off and reset them- no other staff anywhere.

    Yes. Easily for 5 people, A decent steak is £12, bottles of Bubbly £20, Cat food, £15 a box (2 cats) It soon mounts up! ( Don’t do the Yellow ticket lark or Sainsbury’s Basic ).

    It does if you’re having steak and champagne every night!

    That's a crazy weekly shopping bill. I would send Gregg Wallace round, but…
