I've posted this before and it's mostly to our Lady friends.

Full shop goes through in supermarket. Takes an age to pack bags...then stares at the cashier for an age. After being told the amount the search then takes place for the purse to pay. WHY? Why the fcuk couldn't you have had that ready when you were in the queue? It's not rocket science. The cashier will be looking for payment to conclude the transaction. And sorry ladies but it's always you 99% of the time. Stupid doesn't even cover it.

When the M50 still had a toll plaza....
In the queue for 5 minutes and only when it is their turn to pay, start looking for money.


The biscuit was once taken by some complete and utter ****tard who did above and then managed to **** half of the coins outside the basket instead of in it. Out of the car, on all fours picking up the coins.

That time i genuinely felt i should be allowed to get away with murder.

Driving along the road, when some Audi or BMW driver overtakes you on a bend with a double white line and zooms off into the distance.

Two minutes later, you reach a set of traffic lights/ roundabout and hey presto that idiot who risked their life to get in front of you is in the exact same place they would have been had they not overtaken you.

Like Fred, most business class travellers never clap. They are on a plane several times every month, the pilot takes off, he flies, he lands. Big deal.

When those people clap, it was a difficult landing.

It is usually the package holiday to the sun public that claps for the landing.

Any "normal" flight i have been on, there was no clapping for the landing.
Nothing to do with business class or not.

Not every plane. But it's done with larger planes because (a) one of them might want to use the toilet and (b) one may become ill.

In addition, the workload during take-off and landing is often pretty high. Airspace around airports is usually pretty crowded, and not every aircraft may be equipped with a transponder, or have that switched on, so you have to keep a good lookout, and pay attention to any warnings from air traffic control. Add to that a sudden change in weather conditions, a change in the assigned runway, and soon, even a two man crew can be knee-deep in work.

That's why pilots usually split their tasks amongst each other during departure and prior to descent and landing. Usually, one pilot concentrates on operating the aircraft, while the other handles communications with ATC to get the required clearances. Also, the checklists in commercial airliners are designed around a two man crew.

Germans love doing it. Every flight I have ever taken out of Germany since moving here, bar none, to any destination..... claps at the end. Even, on one occasion, when we arrived 3.5 hours later than scheduled. Sends a lovely message to the airline when you are THAT delayed, to clap and congratulate them for it on landing.

I've got to say. I've never been on a plane where the passengers clapped the landing.

I remember a few kids clapping once on a transatlantic, but no-one joined in.

In Cork in the mid-90's, it became almost customary for people to have their multi channel boxes installed with a special chip device. Everyone had their boxes 'tapped'. This allowed the box to get additional premium subscription channels like Sky Sports, Sky Movies etc. All it cost was a £20 note slipped to the installer during the initial set up.

Cork Multi channel decided that enough was enough. They decided to invoke a sting operation.
Initially, they encoded the frequency so that the image on the sub channels would be distorted every 5 seconds or so.
The picture would go fuzzy for 5 seconds-go back to normal for 5 seconds-go fuzzy for 5 seconds etc etc
While annoying it didn't result in the majority of people removing their chips.
My dad, a self proclaimed intelligent man , wanted to ring to complain about the picture.
He might as well have rang and told them "Hi, my tapped box isn't working".
We persuaded him not to.


Subsequently, they realized that they could exploit both people's greed and their stupidity..
So they got their technicians to encode the signal so that the offending boxes received a message on a particular channel every ten minutes of so. They took advantage of the upcoming World Cup in 1994 to catch people.

So a banner at the bottom of the screen read "FREE Ireland Jersey for all Subscribers - Ring CMC at 021-555 666"
Only tapped boxes got the message.

Hundreds and thousands rang leaving their names and addresses.
Not sure how much they were charged but I'm sure it involved a handsome penalty charge.

That remind me of the feckers in the security queues at airports.

They can hear the message about removing their shoes, but they wait until they are actually at the point to start untying the 10 strong knot on their boots. :mad:

Actually in the Spar where I get my lunch , there is a coffee or tea available for an extra 50c. with your roll/sambo. The lady at the deli bar makes the sambo and prints off the barcode depending on if you want a cuppa too. You then proceed to the coffee machine to make your drink and proceed to the checkout.

The funny thing is every day I watch the lady say after making the sambo " do you want tea or coffee" then the customer says " tea please" . She hands them the tinfoil package and they stand there like f-ing tools waiting for their drink.

Give you a laugh. I know that link and what it is meant to do as I was reading a discussion on whether a similar link could be used to obtain private information once. We thought in theory it could, but we eventually realized why it could not.

But a few moments ago someone tried it and it did not have the usual effect. Instead it directed them to the last profile that he was viewing which - comically - was mine.

So I just got a great message from a fellow boards user who was convinced you just "doxed" me How funny is that. I was momentarily ready to wage war on you So you got too eegits with one hit (however briefly) there before I noticed the link and want "Hang on.... I KNOW that number".

Saw someone on Facebook once who had shaved her head (and posted photos of same) "so I know what it feels like to have cancer". Rrriiiggght. And are you going to go through with the associated treatments too? Remove your eyelashes and eyebrows? Ya know, to really get the full experience. And does this mean that any man who decides to shave his head once he starts going bald also knows what it's like to have cancer? Wow, this head-shaving malarkey is multi-functional!

And of course, people were lavishing her with praise for her "bravery". What a slap in the face to anyone who has struggled through gruelling cancer treatments, especially anyone who is going to die from it anyway, despite getting medical attention. Muppet.

At least when I did it, I raised €770 for a cancer charity.

And they hardly fly it, it's all computer controlled now, so, well done computer for flying the plane

Feck me, I just spent the last 40 days learning how to fly an aircraft and all I had to do was turn on the computer ! Wish that I knew that on day 1.

successful landing is a minor achievement for them

Have you ever considered how much paperwork is involved for an unsuccessful landing? (resulting in a damaged aircraft)

Do you clap at the end of a concert when a band manages to show up and carry out the same task they've been doing for years before? For some people, watching another person land a plane is as impressive as watching a guy using his voice to sing words. Not everyone, but for some it's a big deal. I say let them clap if they wanna clap. They're happy, the pilot is happy, it's all good.

I remember on a bus in secondary school where a fella needed a place to throw his chewing gum. He kindof just stuck it in the hair of yer man sitting in front without thinking. Such was the whinging of the victim that he went to the effort to cut it out and say it was fine but his hair looked really lobsided and arseways.

Still though, vegan. Except for fish. She still ate fish.

A fuse blew in my house today. I went into the supermarket to buy one, couldn't find them, so I asked one of the retail employees. I simply asked if they had any 16 amp fuses. The girl had absolutely no idea what I was talking about.

Grand says I, she's just an airhead. I'll try the 24 hour shop up the road, they usually have stuff like that. Same story, the sales assistant hadn't a clue what a fuse was. Never heard of it.


I really worry about the fact that these people, and the ones who hired them, can vote.
