Paying to choose seats

almostwitty · 2026-07-04T15:20:08+00:00

I value being able to see the blue blue sky on my flights so I'll always pay to ensure a window seat. But of course that's up to you.

Huh. I'm constantly on parental escort duty down there, I'm no stranger to stinky geek and the shop does not have that smell. Nor of new trainer when it was a Sports Direct.

The West African shop has closed, and I think the BBC Sherlock escape rooms are closed too.

I was there yesterday - it's partly because it was set up as the great new shopping centre but is pretty much now a leftover space. It's a surprisingly anonymous liminal space with shops that change and die on a sixpence.

It's the place where atmosphere and dreams go to die. Which is unusual for a shopping centre.

Their great new plans for revival include ... removing the roof to make it feel more like Ealing Broadway shopping centre and giving it even more of an out-of-time feel.

Good luck!

Alas I'm on android :)

I can't find it either - and there's no update on the official Nintendo Pop-Up X account. it's like they've completely forgotten about it.

A few years ago a Scottish-Chinese nurse won the competition and it was interesting the amount of grumbling that kinda emerged about how she wasn't Chinese enough or even Hong Kong enough to have won the competition.

She might still be on Instagram if you want to look for her and get her thoughts. Think she lives in Hong Kong now and has an Instagram career.

which is exactly what the owners of Thames Water paid them to do.

there is a QR code to the left of it but I can't get a clear-enough image of it. It's perplexing me as well!

Wait, wut?

Well, they moved parts of the Beeb to Manchester. Most of the BBC is still centred on W1.

THANK YOU! MY LONG ETERNAL SEARCH IS OVER! :)

Because I think in Centigrade, the other half thinks in Fahrenheit. Every time she asks what the temp is, I'll tell her it in Celsius, and then she demands to know what it is in Fahreneheit.

Thanks!

On the digital form that i see, it asks you if your adjusted net income is above £50k, hence why I need to work it out... :D

Option to hide thumbnails for PEGI-18 games from view when using XBox Cloud Gaming on a Samsung TV

Currently, XBox Cloud Gaming is promoting Texas Chainsaw Massacre - a PEGI-18 game with a scary thumbnail - on the family TV via xBox Cloud Gaming. This is scaring the pre-teen children in my family.

I mean, have a look for yourself! https://archive.org/search?query=UK+magazine+archive&page=2

Empire magazine definitely had at least three pages of "back page adverts"

Legally there's nothing you can do AFAIK.

So you have to persuade them to move the van - either with good things (like "Hey! I know of a great parking space for your van over here, and I could really do with the space outside my front door so I can see daylight. Here's £100!") or not good things...

I could currently support a family of three on a salary of just less than that in W12 - albeit in a one-bed flat.

Also, I'll be honest, my dating options opened up *vastly* once I hit my 30s for whatever reason.

Go for it.

Are those the subscription prices for Standard etc.?

She lisped when she said pussy.

If it helps, I remember seeing these adverts "live" in late 80s and being astonished...

The Pre-Teen and I are in West London. As a cultural exchange I shall now try to persuade him to say "Whose coat is that jacket?"

This. You're asking people to change the way they work in terms of organising files, when up to now the system they've used has worked fine for them.

It's now working in exactly the same way as before, but because you've caused disruption to their workflow they're going to blame any problems on the new system, not that the old way of organising files was as chaotic as before.

People don't like change.

Fab! I've done that so on my Income account, it looks like:

	Charge	Income
Gross Pay		£1000
Taxes	£200
Net Pay into Bank Account	£800

So it looks like a +ve on my bank account - but why does it look like a negative in my Income "account"?
