Never understood this, surely every pilot should land the plane safelyJaShea99 said:When people applaud the pilot as he lands the plane after a completely normal flight. Clapping and shows of appreciation should be reserved for when it's been a particularly difficult flight with turbulence etc, not for a normal landing which pilots do every day.

On the subject of applause, people who applaud at the end of a movie at the cinema. Now, this may be a Dubai thing, because I'd never experienced this in the U.K. It's also only with new releases, so maybe excitement takes over, I don't know.JaShea99 said:When people applaud the pilot as he lands the plane after a completely normal flight.

Doesn't annoy me, by the way. Just makes me think "Who's that applause for? Chris Pratt can't hear you! Freaks."2 -

The questions my 6 year old will be asking me in the next few days.
Last week at a holiday camp they had usual security guard checking you had entertainment passes and were actually staying at the park. He asks me are they there to stop another Manchester attack?
Try to insulate our boys from the worlds horrors but cannot prevent them hearing these things on the television or radio and have no doubt they will hear more at school too.2 -
with flights to/from this country it's predominantly eastern europeans who do this- it goes back to the days when they used to have no choice but to fly aeroflot and were genuinely happy/surprised when a landing went wellJaShea99 said:When people applaud the pilot as he lands the plane after a completely normal flight.

My mate flew to Russia in the early 90's with aeroflot and they had a curtain instead of a door on the toilet.rina said:

Or change their pictures frame/effect after every terrorist attack in europe only (with one that FB not only provides but promts them to use!), they ignore all the other innocents killed in terrorist attacks outside of that bubble.ValleyGary said:People that change their social media profile picture to tell us all what way they are voting. Wankers.
(I admit I did change mine twice back in the day, but realised it's a pretty sad thing to do as it changes nothing.)0 -
The growing use of "congrats". The word is "congratulations". If I am going to make the effort to do something worthy of congratulation, then I want those that are congratulating me to as least make the effort to use a proper word.6

congrats on that post.6

My wife watching shite like Big Brother and then falling asleep, so I'm enduring the "noise", whilst she's asleep.
Every time I wake her she insists she wasn't asleep.
Same bollox every night. Selfish is what I call it.5 -
Or when you're having to endure that crap and go off to Charlton Life instead of sit there not talking to each other 'Why are you on your phone? Why can't you just spend time with me?'
You're watching Love Island, I'm on CL, we're sat right next to each other... what the flip is the problem?7 -

Have you considered changing channel? For some reason Babestation jumps to mind. But then again, then it just something that happens with me.Covered End said:My wife watching shite like Big Brother and then falling asleep, so I'm enduring the "noise", whilst she's asleep.

The definition of a good pilot is one that has the same number of landings as take-offsJaShea99 said:When people applaud the pilot as he lands the plane after a completely normal flight.

Has the Highway Code changed recently?
I thought vehicles were supposed to drive with dipped headlights in heavy rain.
Not on the evidence of my journey this morning. I am now worrying that I am the one in the wrong.1 -

Why is the pilot the only person that gets applauded when he does his Job. I certainly don't and I don't applaud the chefs in the restaurant, or the assistant that sold me a pair of Jeans last week,

She switches back and falls asleep again or I refuse to give her the remote and she stomps off and doesn't talk to me for the rest of the evening.

Elderly mother was told to f.off by a really brave cold caller, her only crime being confused and may have said the wrong thing, would love to have been privy to that call and have a chat.0

Cold callers who won't take a polite 'no thank you' and persist in pestering deserve any more robust language that comes their way.jonseventyfive said:Elderly mother was told to f.off by a really brave cold caller, her only crime being confused and may have said the wrong thing, would love to have been privy to that call and have a chat.
It's not possible to say 'the wrong thing' to a cold caller as they have imposed upon your privacy not the other way round.
I hope she is not too upset. Some of these people are absolute scum the way they try to prey on the elderly and vulnerable.

Thanks Len, she was really upset but is prone to saying the wrong thing, usually without realising it, we usually intercept these, erm people but this one got through.0

My Missus will do that, with her head near the surround sound speaker and while guarding the sky remote. Using the separate remote I mute the sound and turn the volume up to max. Retire the karzy and unmute before closing the door. She invariably thinks she pressed the remote while asleep, but the panic is worth watching. I walk out of the bathroom saying ffs woman you'll wake the street up turn that down while she protests she didn't mean to do it.Covered End said:My wife watching shite like Big Brother and then falling asleep, so I'm enduring the "noise", whilst she's asleep.

what, about my marriages ?? Don't know that I really want to share to all & sundry - bit different to mu exploits on dating sites. All I will say is that both women were / are very nice women, even if they did go off with other men. Wife no.1 - I have never seen since our divorce - last day I ever saw her was the day we sold the marital home & she came round to move the little of what was left. That was almost 20 years ago. Wife no. 2 cares for my 3 kids so I see her every week. We get on well enough although HER dating exploits probably trump mine !!!Covered End said:

Prompted by that photo of of Theresa May and her husband: People who go walking with nordic walking sticks. Sure if your'e elderly or infirm yo might need a little help, but for anyone who is reasonably fit and healthy it's nonsense. Walking isn't about the expensive equipment, it's about getting out in the fresh air. Stop pretending you're one of the Heroes of Telemark and just enjoy a walk.10

See folks just going into town with walking sticks, hike boots, gaiters and a goretex jacket. You aren't climbing Everest, you're getting the paper5
