Can’t do it. Wouldn’t matter how much I wanted something. Main reason I can’t hack airports too
The Guardian is more a victorious occupying power than an active culture war participant.
Don't you find airports slightly different as in theory there's a fixed time when all your queuing is over and you're done?
As with most things, it's all fun and games queueing up for the weekly shop in the blazing sun, headphones in and with some fine gash whose onset of bacterial vaginosis you can see in real-time through her Gymshark leggings.
It’s worse because it’s queue after queue after queue, and then more once you arrive at the other end.
I was behind two separate old boys in the supermarket queue the other morning and it turned out they were both there solely to buy a paper, and the sole reason they each wanted a paper was for the TV listings, without which, they agreed, they wouldn't know what was on telly.
I do hope it's not like this when we're old.
He's a traditionalist. Anyone advocating for changes to the status quo is waging culture war, anyone who advocates the status quo is fine (while ignoring that the status quo changes all the time) 'reflects the view of the people'.
It's codswallop but it's consistent.
For avoidance of doubt, it's being waged by those with cultural points to lose against those with nothing to lose. I've been saying so since before Brexit.
This is where small airports are king. Flying from Southend is a fucking dream. There's rarely more than 1 flight per hour, so you're only ever queueing with your own flight.
First time we flew from there we gave ourselves the normal 2 hours to check in etc, but we were sat at the bar within 15 minutes. Coming back is even better, we were home within half an hour of landing, drive through McDonalds in hand.
Stansted on the other hand... it's fucked me over every time.

The problem with London Southend is that it's in Southend.
I loved Southampton for the same reason last year. Is that even open any more seeing as it was nearly all Flybe?
Yes, but only dickhead forrins get done over by that.
I imagine it's better than Luton.
And London.
And if you're connecting abroad, you've already done your security and can crack straight on.
It can't be any worse.
Wait what, Norn Ireland is letting six people from different households mix. They really are the greatest fucking country in the world. Imagine the fucking Nike Cage tournaments going on once we get that shit here

Is there a distance limit to that? We’re at 4 currently but each person can only travel a max of 5km from their home to do so, going up to 20km on June 20th.
Or not. As you were.
No limit. Part do this step is meeting indoors but we’re not quite at that stage apparently.
I don't think so, no.
You're still meant to maintain 2m between you and you're only allowed to meet outside though.
I'll probably still leave it for a while before I go see my folks.
Yeah ours is outside only and 2m distance too, and the 20km one in June will be the same. My folks are well outside both so I may wait for the July ones to see if I can go visit. I don’t think there’s anyone within 20km that I’d visit or would visit here anyway.
Parents are probably a few weeks off yet but the golf course could be happening soon. What a world.
Next door had their parents over for a barbecue yesterday and the other side was having a good chat with his neighbour over the fence.
We've given it up too, just not officially.
I have to say, the fear has gone from me a little bit. I don't feel like covey is lurking around every corner now. That doesn't mean I'm going to chuck the towel in and do what I want, though.
I get to have sex for the first time in 10 weeks next week. Shoot the load within 30 seconds instead of 2 mins amirite
You're allowed to see your parents in Scotland?
A Welshman of all people. Oh lord.
We have different preferences.
It won't last unless someone picks up the FlyBe routes, they were 95% of the traffic.
I'm surprised the domestic routes haven't come back. It's not like Heathrow entirely stopped.
Despite the lockdown, deaths from the common flu continued at the same rate.
Another e-victory for Yevrage.
Not sure why that would be a victory or not in respect of anything I’ve said.
I enjoyed this video.
I'm a twit
I was at the arrivals in Luton in February and it didn't seem so bad. Am I missing something?
I still can't help but think that many others will think like this. I can't shake the thought that as soon as we come out of lockdown properly then we're going to regret it but I base that purely on the fact that we seem to have got absolutely everything wrong to date.
The airport itself is ok but the town is an absolute shit hole.
Also, as someone who has had to go to Luton airport a lot it's really annoying as for years now they seem to change the parking layout every time I visited. Plus the parking fees are mad.
Luton airport is an efficient hub, but then so are most major airports if you're not a slobbering mess. Cars are for wankers so always glad to hear wankers being stung by measures.
Because if flu was an airbourne transmission or whatever then why has the death rate not changed at all despite the lockdown? Science is WRONG again.
Apparently public transportation in and out of the airport (to places outside of Herts & Bucks) is shocking.
We didn't go into lockdown until March which is usually end of Flu Season anyway.
Has this been posted yet? It feels like they know more than we do about covid...

We don't want anyone with pussy'ole lungs murdering babies. Not on the Donalds watch.
Luton airport when I was there was worse than the Casablanca, Sarajevo or Atlanta airports, which hold the next 3 spots on my list
You can get the Thameslink to King's Cross in 30 minutes
The problem with Luton is the train > bus part (coming from London). The airport is probably better than Stansted and Gatwick.
But there are no direct trains.You can get the Thameslink to King's Cross in 30 minutes
They're building a DART to connect the Train station to the Airport which will help.
Tee time booked for Thursday night. God bless my 5 wood, god bless social distancing, and god bless America.
