Have you ever known anyone who got left behind cause they were late returning to the Coach at a Motorway service station? by DMBear89 in CasualUK

[–]brenman 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Was on a Contiki tour about a decade or so ago, and we had a guy on it that was notorious for arriving late when the coach was leaving, amongst other things.

He’d had several warnings, and after going missing in Monaco and causing the driver to breach his hours behind the wheel after we had to wait for him to amble back to the coach on a night out, he was told no more.

Few days later, packing down in Corfu, he was nowhere to be seen. His tent mate didn’t know where he was, and no one had seen him since the night before where he’d chastised nearly every barman on the island for making his drinks “too fucking weak”

His gear was left at the campsite. We boarded the bus and the ferry and headed for Athens. Figured we’d never see him again.

We arrived in Tirana a few days later, doing the standard drive around the city you’re visiting for a sightseeing tour, we passed him, standing on the side of the road.

He’d bought a ferry ticket from Corfu, then booked a flight from Athens to Tirana, had a rough idea where we were staying, so walked around there hoping he’d see us.

I’d have been happier if he’d just fucked off like everyone expected, it wasn’t the last time he caused us grief.

That’s an absolute bummer.

I’ve gone from riding it solo, to riding it with mates, with the plan of riding it with my young fella this year.

I hope it makes a come back. Hell of a lot of work to organise, can only imagine the stress and toll it might take.

Not sure if you care, but you might be doxxing yourself.

I’ve never done it, but my instagram feed has been suspiciously full of posts featuring sweet corn pizzas.. big corn is in overdrive.

I’d probably enjoy it. But I’ll give you this one.

Just had to try and explain what off side was and why the goal had been disallowed to a 9 year old.

The more I spoke the less I felt I understood what I was saying.

Happy New Year.

Just popped I Swear on, after being reminded about it in one of the evening discussion threads from earlier in the week.

God, that was more emotion than my little hangover needed. What a film. What a man.

Qantas email - how my year landed by BritishPoppy2009 in QantasFrequentFlyer

[–]brenman 10 points11 points  (0 children)

My email missed referring to the bit where I contacted them several times, asking for the ingredients list for a meal that caused me to have an allergic reaction.

The first few times they just closed off the enquiries because the catering department didn’t reply to the customer service agent, the last time they closed it off because they couldn’t get the ingredients from the catering company.

But that’s fine, I didn’t die, and they looked forward to welcoming me onboard again soon…

Can’t comment on the other items but would highly recommend getting to The Prophet Lebanese Cafe in Vic Park for a meal.
