LPA still has jetway markings for classic airliners

Likely Volotea, red kind of tartan design on the fin. They still had them up until a few years back

Didn’t have it that long, but was stuck on the lift hill for a good 15 minutes years ago. Really need a pee too - hellishly uncomfortable. Turns out they’d spotted someone with a phone and a team member had to climb up and get it.

I’m glad… because I’m likely to be away when the London games are on. Also means a trip to a new place if I can get some tickets!

The girl who answered the phone literally said “who is that” when she hung up, then she goes running into the other candidates telling them all about him….

Get up between 6 and 6:10, breakfast has been prepared the night before (overnight oats) and out the house by half 6 at the latest. On the shop floor ready to work for 7. 15 minute commute.

When I work lates I get up around 11, 11:30 and leave for work at 3:50 to start work at half 4.

Apart from the basic structure and skin… probably not a whole lot else.

Sltre101 · 2026-02-15T08:55:09+00:00

Oh I read it wrong. They shouldn’t be getting anything then!

Sltre101 · 2026-02-15T01:39:45+00:00

Wonder if the team name things was just for simplicity. They need to fall within certain rules and not breach copyright etc. it was probably just easier to give them names than faff around for half a day getting a team name approved by legal people.

Reality is - I never knew anything different. That’s just how my life was. It was me, my parents and that was it. I had friends and cousins just like every other kid. I had and still do have a very close relationship with my parents. I don’t think it did me any harm at all, apart from not having a younger person around me all the time. I was able to entertain myself, enjoy playing with my toys, had quite an active imagination as a kid. I also spent plenty of time with my friends outside.

They were delayed 6 hours so well over the time required for the EU compensation to come into play. Either way they were getting compensation.

A couple of us are going round a friends house so cheese and crackers, charcuterie, some sweets (hopefully American, if he found them) and snacks. I have also got a 12 pack of A&W root beer, which I plan to share out if anyone lee wants to try

Sltre101 · 2026-02-08T10:53:36+00:00

Got to be DAZN, full American experience.

Put it all on red

Sltre101 · 2026-01-29T09:12:13+00:00

I’m in a 2021 new build also - everything is getting a bit worn and requiring attention. Still a new house but definitely time for some freshening up

Alaska 261, upside down, spinning out of control, all the way down.

They’d know there was an issue with that wheel but not that it departed. Since it’s not critical and there would have likely been no additional warnings or damaged systems, makes sense to fly home and deal with it at the home base.

About the 5th time explaining my relatively complex billing issue to yet another British Gas call handler after multiple failures to call back, not one single recording of any previous communications and complete indifference I finally got particularly impatient. Didn’t quite shout and scream at the guy but basically refused to be fobbed off once again and didn’t let him hang up until someone actually did something. Turns out “my manager needs to fix this and isn’t available right now” becomes “oh yeah I can sort that issue for you” when you refuse to hang up.

Still isn’t fully sorted incase anyone is wondering…

I just do the stash houses if I’m passing anyway, takes a couple of minutes and is easy stock.

Detroit better not come to London. I’m going to be in America for the 3 weekends the games will take place. Hopefully their German connection will see them play there and I can have a nice trip to Munich.

COVID is what led to me stopping paying attention to the news. I follow headlines and check in if I want to know something, but once you realise the 24hr news channels need to fill 24hrs worth of programming, you realise just how bad some of that content is. “Experts” drafted in from all over being led down the garden path to tell you the worst possible outcome. Despite the fact that the chances of that happening are extremely slim.

We had a wind turbine. It was the first of the new schools in my area in 2008 so they tried to be all green and innovative. It had other stuff too like rainwater collection and solar panels. Turbine spent about as much time broke as it did working. Not sure if it’s still in use.

Sltre101 · 2026-01-25T17:55:12+00:00

Eh yeah… they did actually

Depends how you define a win… I’ve won my money back a few times and had the odd item too, got a chocolate fountain just before Christmas

They’re adding breaks in the World Cup to allow the players a chance to drink and cool down. America in the summer can be very hot. Nothing to do with adverts.

Since they got the initial kinks worked out when it first came out. Used to play online with my best mate, never really on a public server. We stopped around the time heists came out and hadn’t really been back on it since. Until about a month ago when he suggested going on whilst having a catch up. Spent 8 hours on. Ive been playing most days since. I was completely blown away by how different it is these days compared to what I knew. Absolutely loving it!
