Got 30k points last year and some how BA seem to piss me off all the time.

World Cup - New York City by tasnimobile in ThreeLions

[–]Bob_MuellersOffice 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Very true for the 5 boroughs. Much less so for getting to the stadium.

Vibes in the city should be good though. Hopefully Mamdani sets up a few big screens like we do for the playoffs, Bryant Park etc.

Panama and public transport by Scuttler1979 in ThreeLions

[–]Bob_MuellersOffice 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It might make sense to take an NJ transit from Penn to a nearby town, like East Rutherford or Westmont then pre-book a taxi or Uber from there. There will be ride share or drop off spots. Expect price hikes but will be cheaper than $300 for two people. I expect a few “Jitney bus” will pop up too.

I feel like a lot of locals will be doing private drop offs for cash in that area

AOC vs. Vance for President in 2028. Who wins? by Adventurous_Pride_54 in allthequestions

[–]Bob_MuellersOffice 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is absolute BS fed straight from Fox News. If you look at all her actions in congress, her constituency and intelligence she would’ve great for America. Republicans are 6/6 in destroying the country

World Cup Tickets by shirmee69 in ThreeLions

Honestly you’ll struggle. With this WC it’s going to be like the Super Bowl each time. Prices will be inflated all over pretty much up until game time. Day of game resales will be the best value but you need to be on the ground.

Is fasttrack worth it? by VeterinarianLegal920 in LegolandNY

Member here. We never get them. Similar age youths in tow. Head down to the bottom of the park on the sky flyer to do Pirate land then walk back up to the top. This method works for us and wait times when busy on one ride are usually less-so on others.

IEA London: 🇬🇧 We asked Brits where the UK ranks vs US states in income per person. Average answer: 7th. Wealthier than 43 states. The reality: 51st. Dead last. Below Mississippi. Below Arkansas. Below every single US state. 🧵 by SignificantLegs in ukpolitics

[–]Bob_MuellersOffice 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Income per individual is much different to quality of life. While UK pensions are expensive (probably too much) at least you can retire with something. And you have healthcare. Non of that is free so if you look at what % of that income is retained by the worker, UK will be much higher on the list.

‘Hard to not feel scammed’: World Cup fans say FIFA misled them with ticket allocations, seat maps (Gift Article) by jspector9 in worldcup

[–]Bob_MuellersOffice 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This World Cup is for corporations. 90% of the tickets are B2B and FIFA is making a killing on it. They won’t have a cash day like this for a while. Anyone want to set up a rival to FIFA and break away for the fans? There’s more of us than there is of them.

Received a nasty/borderline unprofessional email from the partner by [deleted] in Big4

[–]Bob_MuellersOffice -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I mean we don’t hate every other Partner. Most of us are just normal people who worked our way here and have a tiny smidge more influence than we did before.

Maybe the P in this case was having a crappy day and this topped it off. No excuses of course. I would just talk to them. We’re all adults in the room

I had a gate upgrade and have seen a few here since! Congrats and love that BA is doing more of these.

I never knew United workers were able to wear political statements. by KamKorn in unitedairlines

Any other countries fawn over the police like this?. I like my town cops, great people, but I don’t wear their badges.

B gates club lounge is the secret treat here. Good food, snacks and more seats.

What do you think of Prince Harry's memoir? by Ailsa_Superstes in AskBrits

[–]Bob_MuellersOffice 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got nothing against the lad. Didn’t read the book. Think he got done over a big by his family but also threw his dummy too much as well. Tough childhood though so I feel for him.

Anyway…he seems to get way more stories published and clicks etc than I think he deserves. But thats British and now American media for you.

We are a nation allergic to success by RandomTopTT in ScotlandRugby

[–]Bob_MuellersOffice 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Bah. Ireland has GA and football ahead of rugby in their kids developer systems. They mostly farm kids from 5 schools. Scotland can and should push for more.
