I liked how you could still see the planes parked up from the BART platform at SFO.
Half-outrageous seeing as you can almost see through him.Originally Posted by -james-
That's the igor type.
Here's some non-descript scenery photos from the Maldives I'm sure you've all been on tenterhooks waiting for:
I was hooping for bigger pictures.
I’d say there’s some wildlife in them shacks.
Can we not get a picture of the Italian milf?
Unfortunately not.
*tender hooks
get off your peddlestool
Thanks for the pictures, much appreciated.
No worries, there's plenty more. I'll pm you one a day for the next four months.
I can't wait.
Always avoided Ryanair in the past but was our only real option for this Porto trip.
We should've departed Stansted at 9:20pm and we didn't actually leave until gone half one in the morning.
Zero communication from them the entire time. They are legally obliged to provide food/drink after a couple of hours which obviously didn't happen. The Stansted customer service staff said Ryanair are literally impossible to contact, they never man their service desk and all just hide in their offices upstairs.
We'll be due compensation but I bet they'll be a nightmare about that as well.
Never again.
Yes, Hi bam.
I say that more or less every time I fly Ryanair but I always come crawling back.
Best of luck getting compo worth anything from those shower of cunts.
Same happened me coming out of Sofia before, the time didn’t change until we were in the queue to board, and I’m still waiting on it.
Just back from Frankfurt myself. Germans are still tossers.
Your time nor your need for crisps is that important.
The days of significant delays on air travel still a thing? I've had to get a fucking flight to Glasgow for an 11-a-side game due to rail strikes and any delay greater than an hour is gonna make me miss the game. Would be seething.
EasyJet delayed us by 2 and a half hours yesterday with zero communication too. Paid Ł38 for 3 cheese toasties, 2 cans of Fanta and 2 bottles of water too.
You'll have to check the exact rules (seems like the length of delay required depends on how long haul the flight was) but you can probably claim this back.EasyJet delayed us by 2 and a half hours yesterday with zero communication too.

I had to babysit the cunt for about two hours after the taxi refused to let him in and @Boydy refused to wake up from his nap, we're even now.
Can't believe you didn't try and meet me.
Really?
ok i can believe it really.

Went here tonight.
14 course tasting menu on Giggles' advice. It was great, thanks mate.
Fourteen lol.
Well done Giggles matey.
Looks like the stuff of nightmares.
14 courses of testosterone sapping melty shit. Get yourself one of those cancerous Francesinhas and stfu.

In Norway atm. I'd urge you all to go immediately.
Booked up to go Thailand for a couple of weeks in February today. Flying with Emirates, is it worth paying to upgrade the seats to Premium Economy?
Is it not super dark and expensive?
Scenery would be good though, I’d imagine.
A hundred times, yes. Even treat yourself to business if you can afford it. Long haul flights are hell in economy. #manofthepeople
The uplift is usually pretty hefty if it's an in-demand flight, though.
It is - but also the delights of totally flat bed, food on demand, and often overlooked is the quick check-in, line jumping in security (especially if transiting in the middle east) and if you have a layover in UAE or Qatar, their lounges are pretty awesome. I treat myself every now and then, but couldn't afford to do it often.
Post holiday blues have kicked in big time and I'm now scouring Tui like a tramp looking for fag butt's in the gutter. Anyone been anywhere that's good in April? Obviously most of Europe is off the table.
Is Madeira too far? Really enjoyed it as a family holiday.
Embrace the cold.
You're a laying on the beach in the hot sun kind of guy right? San Sebastian was brilliant when we went in April but suspect it's not your thing.
Pray tell.
Made it to Porto Santo. It’s windy but I’ve promised the 5 year old we’ll go swimming. The all inclusive beer will warm me up, right?
Is all inclusive even a thing any more or is it gone full scam?
Was it someone on here who went all inclusive and found out that meant 4 beers a day at their chosen destination?
My mate is trying to get me to shell out Ł700 to go to Turkey "all-inclusive" for a week next year for a jolly old piss up. There's probably more chance of free veneers than beers. Fuck that.
A friend of mine went to Mexico with his wife last year and had an all inclusive hotel, which you had to pay a mandatory $100 per person per day. He knew this in advance, and factored it into the cost of the holiday.
When he got there, they upgraded him to a deluxe suite for free. Brilliant, he thought. It wasn't until later that day than they told him it meant that the all-inclusive cost was now $400 per day, as the suite was meant to be for 4 people ($100 x 4). He argued, they pointed to the Terms & Conditions he signed when checking in, and told him no other rooms were available anymore so he had no choice if he wanted to remain in the hotel. Such a blatant con, it completely ruined his holiday.
I don't really understand what's meant by "is it gone full scam"? Scam how? Like it's more expensive than just paying or?
Our Maldives resort was all-inclusive (that is the only option staying there) which included unlimited food and drink at the main restaurant/bars, one meal per 7 days at the fancy restaurant (you could pay a la carte to go their whenever you wanted but no idea why you would), an excursion, snorkelling gear for the week and paddle-boarding/pedalos/kayaks.
There was various stuff you could pay extra for like massages, private film viewings on the beach on a big projector, private dinners, and premium wines - all of which were obscenely expensive.
The diving trips and stuff were also extra; I have no barometer for what they should cost but didn't seem ridiculous from memory.
I had assumed the cocktails would be very light on alcohol to save cost but they were savage.
Maldives obviously haven't gone full scam then.
Alcohol is generally cheap, especially if it's not an import. If I go to the local bar when I'm in Cyprus and ask for a house rum and Coke, it'll be more rum than Coke because they import the little bottles of Coke and the house rum is peanuts. It's like being 15 again where you can get shit-faced off a tenner.
It’s a scam because a lot of places are just doing X (normally low single digits) amount of drinks and limited food, so it’s really not all inclusive. Plus more restrictions on where you had your ‘all inclusive’ and what you could actually have. I was asking if there are any real all inclusive places left.
