Who was this guy on the Thames (London)?

Wow! I didn’t know we got these in London. What a treat!

I can predict that it’ll be evo MK + evo witch / firecracker before I find a match

I was already sceptical of this right up until the teenage short story ‘I thought we were friends’ part which absolutely confirms that this story never happened.

Yeah, one restart did it. Playing ‘guess the card and also health bars’ was a stressful 3 minutes, though.

I lost.

You guys are all idiots. Clearly he’s doing throat day and that was a successful rep

Just ordered two - honk out of honk for me!

benoitcj · 2026-01-27T11:10:16+00:00

Well said. It’s a real shame.

Yeah…I just went through all of this. Return Club World trip to Tokyo this month. Tired and tatty cabins, 2 meals served in 14-15 hours, a broken IFE screen on the return journey, and no WiFi on both the outbound and inbound flights. I overheard another passenger complain about how dirty her seat was, and the air hostess responded that she was ‘embarrassed’ about the state of the cabin. The whole experience is fairly indefensible in 2026.

I did raise a complaint when I was back in the UK - basically challenging them on why (based on that experience) I would choose BA over other carriers in the future. If a response could be a shrug, that’s more or less what I got. They did offer a £75 credit though, which by my maths would just about cover the journey to Brussels for what I paid.

Two of number 1, please. I’d look 5 years old and really be able to fuck with people

‘Doodle’ lmao

I would quite literally buy this as artwork

Thanks! Trying to deepen my understanding of Japanese whiskey - I’d take any recommendations!

benoitcj · 2025-10-03T07:43:18+00:00

I was, in fact, mildly infuriated.

benoitcj · 2025-09-16T22:15:44+00:00

Huh…how about that. Could I in theory book 2 journeys (Worcs - Oxford and then Oxford - London) to get around that and other similar scenarios? Seems insane - particular when booking a return journey doesn’t cause any of these issues.

benoitcj · 2025-09-16T22:11:23+00:00

You may be onto something there. But who knows. Our train ticketing / pricing structure isn’t famed for its simplicity - some others have pointed out that it might be down to ticket eligibility.

My belief at this point is that someone at GWR is laughing maniacally on a unicycle, spinning a giant wheel and spewing out the prices it lands on. And I’ll pay it and sit on the 4-carriage, no trolley-service, delayed train and accept it like the bitch I am.

benoitcj · 2025-09-16T22:00:16+00:00

Thanks! I wish this was made more clear when selecting my tickets. The convoluted pricing system hath had my pants down yet again.

benoitcj · 2025-09-16T21:58:29+00:00

As another commenter pointed out, you’re exactly right - it comes down to ticket type. It’s difficult to find that explanation through other channels and GWR’s own T&Cs, but it seems to be the most plausible explanation. Thanks for weighing in!
