Listening to business buzzwords/sayings by this cunt in Basingstoke. He's used 'getting some traction,' about 5 times now, whiny prick.

Ryanair gets a bad rep and in fairness I do always hope to be a few minutes late on their flights to avoid hearing that stupid jingle, and Aer Lingus do have their good points (pre-paid meals etc) but online check-in only opening 30 hours before departure? Fucking sort it out Aer Lingus.

I'm also slightly stressing about money. About to go get my holiday money changed into three different currencies now (forint, euro and koruna) and I've had to work out exactly how much I'll need for each city and how much I can draw out at the atm in Prague and Bratislava once I get paid on Monday and I'm still worried I'll have mucked it up and leave myself short in one of the cities.

You have probably done this already mate but do notify your bank you are going to these countries. I withdrew cash in Poland, got a phone call saying my bank has been rinsed by some guy in Poland and they'd blocked my account. Never had a problem anywhere else mind, even non-EU (at the time) Croatia. Was a pain in the arse. Cant reopen it until your back home.

Aye, fingers crossed tomorrow I'm going to get a loan from my mum and then I can send her a bank transfer online on Monday, that way I can just avoid having to use the atm there at all.

Really? Back when we were still lame-o's living in Farnborough, me, Joe and our mate Chris used to drink loads of that shit. Probably a fuckton of sugar in it, mind. It's like drinking Jolly Ranchers.

Was probably the sugar that gave me the problem.

TV shows that try to be too clever with time travel plots.

People that take the seat beside you on public transport who think their comfort is more important than yours as they squish you in with their fat ass.

Some people are just fat and need to sit down just like anyone else though, that's the thing. Unpleasant though, I thought I was gonna get deep vein thrombosis or something on one particular Megabus journey from London to Leeds.

Some bloke that was on the bus a couple of weeks ago was so big that he took up the two seats at the back corner of the bus. And the two seats directly in front of him as well. :o :lol:

Yeah people with tits on their hips should be told to fucking walk.

Too many smelly people on buses. The fact that you can still smell them long after getting off the bus, and in turn makes you feel dirty as if the dirtiness of them has compromised your own personal hygiene. They should be told to get in the fucking sea.

Tg: need beer. No beer.

I have a fat ass (well, fatter than it was when I was a teen) but when I sit beside people I sit in such a way as to not invade their personal space.

Beer belly here. One I need to lose but cant afford gym atm. One day...

Tbf they should tell me to get off buses and walk. I often do anyway, four mile trek over Swindon the other week, 2 miles in Reading and a further two in Guildford in the same day. Does me no favours though, drink less beer I guess.

Rather hoarse the past day or two. Sound like I've taken up smoking heavily.
