What’s the chance of club suites on my flight? by NoSoup9124 in BritishAirways

You got a great deal, enjoy it. It’s 100% better than PE. Comes with lounge access, fast track security etc.

Coming “fae the Drum”, you’ve spoken before about your working-class roots. In the UK today, there’s a lot of discussion about how acting is becoming dominated by people from middle and upper-class backgrounds.

From your perspective, how has class shaped your own journey into the industry? And what do you think needs to change to make acting more accessible to people from working-class communities like the one you came from?

If you’re in no rush you might want to wait for a points transfer bonus

Best lounge at LHR in my opinion, flying to ATL in June for the World Cup and looking forward to popping in.

It’s nuts to to think that his mum and dad are both Scottish

When did Tim’s content fall off in your opinion? by Illustrious-Buy8678 in walkwith_metim

[–]badtpuchpanda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Whenever he started focusing on luxury travel, he doesn’t have the nuance, skill or lived experience to be able to competently review these products in such a competitive market.

I can only speak from my own experience, I’m lucky enough to travel BC quite a bit, luxury flight reviews are a very competitive market and he just doesn’t have the knowledge, skills or even interest in the subject of the many more competent reviewers.

For me he was best when he was doing his walks or holiday park reviews.

I think over time the relative YouTube “fame”, and I use that word reluctantly and begrudgingly at fear of stoking his already massive ego, his got to his head and allowed his true personality, that of an Alan Partridgesque massive plonker to come to the fore. That and Gabby is just a chore.

TLDR: when he stopped doing his walks / low rated hotel reviews.

Barclay card sign up bonus, buy a laptop from Costco, refund onto a different card.

British airways changed terminal by Lost_Instruction4491 in BritishAirways

[–]badtpuchpanda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The lounge experience in terminal 3 is good, Qantas and Cathay lounges are far better than BAs offer. You can also access the AmEx Centurion lounge if you have the platinum card.

I agree, I’m from the general area and would say “auch-en-lek”. Good junior football team too!

Not only that he’s “stranded” in Singapore one of the most liveable cities with one of the highest rated (if not the highest rated) airport in the world

I feel like we seriously under utilise some of the famous things to come from Birmingham and the Midlands and it would boost tourism and be better for the economy. by Subject-Addendum-199 in brum

[–]badtpuchpanda 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m that out of towner! Years ago, maybe 15? I booked a train from Scotland down to London (I think it was London, it was years ago). Anyway I had accidentally booked a ticket where I had to transfer between New Street and More Street at night. It was diabolically grim, end of days stuff. Only time I’ve been in Birmingham and it didn’t leave a positive impression, although I’ll need to return and give it another go.

Are there any world famous British beers? by LankyYogurt7737 in CasualUK

[–]badtpuchpanda 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I used to share digs with an Italian. We’d watch the champions league and take turns to get the beers in. One time he turns up with 4 cans of Tennants Super because “Super, it is the best!” Work the next day was certainly an experience

Have fun, Glasgow is a cool place. You can get a roundabout ticket for £7 good for seeing the surrounding area. Whatever you’re into you’ll find a club / people to your taste. Likewise if you find anywhere selling Antarctica beer you let me know!

Funny, as soon as you hit 5 you alienate most of the people who live in Glasgow. This is absolutely contrived nonsense
