    P&O dumbing down their dress codes, scrapping afternoon tea (on Arvia at least) and the fact that cruising with them is now like being at Butlins On Sea (no disrespect intended to those that enjoy a Butlins break).
    Maybe see if you can get afternoon tea at Butlins? Can of Red Bull and some crisps.
    Time to save up and cruise Silversea or Ritz-carlton or Orient Express Corinthian
    Yeah, in the process of booking a Silversea cruise Nice to Nice end of May 2027.

    That’s a very short cruise.

    My 5yo daughter.  She might be a little cute Princess but one of our Sky remotes along with my Firestick remote has gone walkies again.  For about the 10th time in the last 6 months.

    My wife very helpfully remembers seeing them in her hand.  But no one seems to know where they've been put.

    FFS.

    Ants are famously well organised. You'd think they'd have this sorted by now!

    Still fed up with hearing about that couple in prison in Iran. They were warned not to go but they went anyway. Their son bleating on about how something should be done, how awful the conditions are. Mate there’s a bloody war on. 
    Can’t wait for the book and film if they get out.

    plus posting on social media everyday as they travelled. I know stupidity and arrogance aren't crimes but I still have little sympathy.

    I've read all about it and must admit I've little or no sympathy for them either.

    No, just idiots who took no notice of government and family advice to not go there. Now their son is blaming the same government for not doing enough. Not sure how true it is but apparently they don’t even live in the UK

    For what its worth, I agree at best it was incredibly and willfully naive. I'm holding back, I think they are idiots 

    I don't blame their son for doing all he can to get his parents back. He probably thinks the same as most of us, we would all do the same as him if we were in his shoes

    We have a few £Billion of Iran assets frozen. Suspect some sort of deal might be done. 
    Foolhardy decision to transit Iran. 
    It’s like booking a Kabul Fly Drive and trusting to luck

    Coming out of the mens toilet in a pub, you notice one of your laces undone and more than a little bit damp.

    In future try to aim at the urinal rather than your shoes

    Helicopter wankers flying back and forth to ascot. Sky above my house is full of the noisy bastards. And once that's over it'll be Wimbledon and Henley...

    I always find that a zip-fly is much easier to keep clean.

    It was actually a thought that entered my head Wednesday evening in the pub. I was standing there relieving myself, looking down, (while aiming correctly ;-)), to the floor and my nice suede trainers. I noted the floor was absolutely sodden. My immediate  thought was, this could be slippery, I don't want to go over here. Then the lace problem came into my head, I'm glad to say my laces were tied up well and I didn't go over.
    I don't have a problem hitting the target but it's something a lot of men do. I don't know if its laziness or maybe some lack enough to hold onto.

    The big planes are less bother than the light aircraft and copters. We're about 5 miles east of reading so not that close to Heathrow, and in any case the house is on the market and we will be moving a long way west (not because of the planes)

    Michael Atherton. I could cope with his terrible pronunciation of "yester day" as if it was two words but it becomes intolerable when he uses that word in virtually every sentence.  Should be banned from test match commentary on anything other than the first day of a test match.

    The scumbag who threw the child into the Croc enclosure being let out on bail. 

    I couldn’t give a flying fuck about his mental state.

    All (bar one) of my yank coworkers who are suddenly all into soccer ball and genuinely think they have a chance of winning the World Cup. 

    Wankers, all of em.

    Know what you mean but apparently he has severe learning disability (mentally handicapoed in old money) and is non verbal. He had two carers with him - where were they? Little point in locking him up? Obviously the childs and parents welfare are paramount........
