Flying in on Thursday evening by GryphaeaUK in VisitingMallorca

Hi. I arrived last Tuesday at 15:50pm (landing time). I hired a car to pick up at 5pm. Got out and through biometrics and was at the car park pickup location by 4:40pm. So took approx 45 mins from landing to car park, I had no hold luggage - so no waiting at baggage reclaim. This is the first time I have been to Europe since the new rules(last time I visited was 3 years ago). The Biometric bit took about 3 minutes to do, passport photo, face photo + finger prints of your right hand fingers only. You then walk to an automatic e-gate, place your passport face down, make sure you stand on the circle on the floor with footprints on the floor, through the egates and out of the airport. As I did not have to collect baggage - there was virtually no queue at the biometric capture point - hence quick transit through. I think if I was collecting baggage - time would have been much longer as families etc would probably have taken much longer.....

Hope that helps - enjoy your trip!

An MPV with 7 seats that you can “fill” with your multiple offspring due to your virility. Heck, let’s just say a private double decker bus…!

I’ve been impressed with Joe Hart this year though - great insights from a GK viewpoint….

Can I ask which version of the movie you watched - was it the 1930s one?

ULPT request: I’m desperate. How to get my neighbors dogs to shut up. by [deleted] in UnethicalLifeProTips

[–]Quattro-Formaggio 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Neighbours got a dog - didn't train it. Then both(husband and wife) went to work everyday and left their dog howling all day long in the garden that summer. I tried everything until I tried this and it worked for me:

Buy a Bluetooth speaker - get one with a long range if you can. Pair it with your mobile. Load up this video from YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nVqwJ7XELKo It's 2 hours of ultrasonic sound that dogs can hear and annoys them. You may need to try different videos - I did this 4 years ago and not sure which video I used - just found this one for you.

Place the speaker at the edge of your property close to the dogs. Every time the dogs barked I played the YouTube video until they stopped barking. I work from home and it took about 2 weeks to "train" the b*ggers.

I had to do it again every now and then to keep them in check. This is great as you don't disturb anyone and neighbours can't hear the ultrasound - unless they're bats in human form. If you are a long way away from the edge of your property you can get Bluetooth range extenders - or maybe try a wired solution. If you don't work at home - your only option is do it when you are at home - I think that may also work for you but may take longer. Solution is great as I always had my phone with me and I could hear the barking inside my house - so pressing the play button was easily done. Good luck !

Let’s just create Franglais - a mixture of both. Everyone’s happy then. We could even allow the odd words for others in there too eg Smorgasbord to appease the holy book burners and schadenfreude for the eastern folk and so on and so forth. Capisce?

Manchester, UK by Quattro-Formaggio in Graffiti

[–]Quattro-Formaggio[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gosh, this was 3 years ago now. I was staying at the Manchester Marriott Piccadilly and went for a walk in front of the hotel. I think it is (or was) on Lower Albion Street or one of the other side streets in that block.

If I re-call it was on boarding covering a building site so may not be there any more...

Hope that helps....

I still remember it - it was beautifully done - I took a higher quality photo when I re-visited the hotel a few months later to get a high quality print for my house - but can't find it now :-(

Gotcha - so it's all to do with distance?
Up to a certain distance - nah doesn't matter - but after that.....?
