The BBC's penchant for listing minor place names on their weather reports. Call me old fashioned, but I know where I am when, in time honoured tradition, they list London, Edinburgh, Cardiff and Belfast. But nowadays they seem to want to pick the most obscure places, so we get lists like Boggy Bottom, Ecclefechan, Pant y Wacco and Craigadick. It's just meaningless. I'd be happy if they put the minor places on a map as it would be like a little geography lesson, but out of context it's just rubbish.
It's because parochial twats get humpy when the BBC mentions places that most of the population lives in, and not Swannywhistle, Clapnockingshire where they live with their nan, dog and four other people. "I pay my licence fee just like anyone else... ".

I think I subscribe to both Pant Y Wacco and Boggy Bottom magazines?!

TMI
I can send you some back issues if you pay the postage.
I just can't seem to get my head around these walkie talkie and pagers explosions.
I have read a few things about it but I still don't understand how it works, pin points certain devices and how it can trigger an explosion with such force to kill people.
TAP (the airline, not the thing your water comes through). They have altered our perfectly timed flight back from Valencia in December from 12.15 to 06.00. We flew with them from Lisbon to Germany a few years back, and they changed the outbound flight from 07.00 AM to 18.00, and the return flight from 13.00 to 06.00. So we lost a day in Berlin, and paid for a hotel room we didn't need the night before, and then effectively lost a night in Hamburg coming back as we needed to be in bed at 9PM. So 75% of the flights we have ever taken with them have screwed up part of our holiday. Lesson learned.

Intercepted, explosives implanted. Depending on where they wore/used said device, depends on the damage inflicted. Ingenious really.

Ahh, makes sense. That's some serious forward planning and spy skills. Least now I'm not as concerned about my mobile blowing up but worrying that it can be done.
I've also been on an Air Crash Investigation binge recently, triggered by me driving past the crash site of Colgan Air Flight 3407 a couple of weeks ago.
It honestly pisses me off how many crashes are caused by pilots who don't know how to react to a stall. Feels like this is the conclusion to 75% of episodes.

Dip the clutch?
Apparently most of the Stalls at the the Valley haven't got locks on them..
People who buy houses with mature trees in the garden, then proceed to cut the trees down.
The garden behind us was full of beautiful trees which were a haven for wildlife. They have already cut some trees back and today they have had a large mature oak completely removed.
Trees like that remove carbon dioxide from the air, locking it away and help to mitigate against Climate Change. They also provide homes for many species of wildlife.
There are children living in the house, who will inhabit a very different world unless we take more care of our trees & wildlife.
Just moved into a new house and we've cleared a few old trees to install a new floodlit football cage for the kids and their mates. looking at prices I might go down the concrete route (in fairness that's better for basketball).
Brits abroad. More specifically the Brits in my hotel currently. Not all of them obviously, some of them are like me. Here for a peaceful break where the weather's good in a nice, quiet hotel.
Others though, far too many in my view, are just selfish, boorish twats without an ounce of self restraint or inkling of how to behave in public. I'm talking about the tattooed chavs effing and jeffing to each other across the dining room, bar or pool. Even dropping the c-bomb on each other during a friendly game of waterpolo. Or their equally charming, surgically enhancing, fish lipped, missus screaming profanities at the next generation of classless drains on society.
We've had two weddings here since we arrived, which seem to consist exclusively of all day drinking to the point where half the guests literally need the other half to even stand up by about 5pm. Christ have some decorum folks, or at least have your wedding where other guests aren't subjected to your family grievances screamed at the top of your voice.
Topped off yesterday by one particular example of the above type deciding his child was too special to use the alloted children's pool and decided to take him into the one reserved for adults. Where said spawn of Beelzebub promptly had a shit, resulting in its early closure and an overnight deep clean.
Some of fellow guests are nothing short of an embarrassment to the nation tbh and I dread to think what the staff, who are all lovely and far more patient than I would be, say about us behind our back.

Benidorm?
You'd think it was some cheap as chips hovel on the main drag in Benidorm but we paid an arm an a leg for a nice hotel in a resort where, essentially, there's bugger all nightlife to attract these low lifes. They are a minority, I'd say the average age of the clientele is easily 60+ but there's a sizeable minority of guests who would not at all look out of place on 24 Hours in Police Custody.
There's at least two, obviously low level, scroty dealers in their late teens/early 20's staying here with trophy, Towie wannabe, girlfriends who would not look at them twice if they didn't have the money to stay here.

The only reason you'd have a 5 month old pager in 2024 in Lebanon is because you're a terrorist.
