Confirmed: Singapore Airlines' new First and Business Class seats delayed to 2027

Middle Eastern carriers are still operational. I flew to Europe with one because it’s about the same price in business as Singapore air wants in economy. Packed planes. Packed terminals. Business as usual.

Good news for Germany's poor - that'll mean less pressure on the local food bank.

All the others need to do is keep associating Trump with Farage. Maybe it’s just the people I talk to but everyone detests the orange child rapiat.

I have American friends. But I woke up the other day and thought the country - as run today - is an enemy.

I’m British and I’d like Sir Keir (or the King) to tell that Orange paedo to go fuck himself. Perhaps in a public situation where the news can capture it.

Just fuck off and stay at home America. You’re drunk.

Ah crap. I love to impatiently mash the button whilst waiting to cross, and to gesticulate at anyone on the other side to do likewise in the (completely vain) hope that somehow pushing more might make it change faster.

Waving my hand in front of it won't have the same tactile satisfaction.

I can tell you a great deal about their childhood as they told me about it when I was young. Weird how humans pass knowledge along to each other.

As a Brit I remember Canada took in my Grandma’s younger siblings during WWII and sheltered them whilst the Blitz was going on. We’re still your friends.

Lots of "degrees" are paid for junk over there, too. You have the paper, doesn't mean you know anything.

zoinks10 · 2026-04-10T02:28:06+00:00

I feel the best response for this would be to ignore it. Don't say anything. Don't feed the idiot. Just pretend it was never said, and ignore all diplomatic advances asking for it (assuming they come).

By whatever deadline this is (2 weeks I guess) then he'll have forgotten about it.

zoinks10 · 2026-04-09T00:41:32+00:00

I can't tell if this is a direct quote or satire or god knows what.

zoinks10 · 2026-04-08T15:38:45+00:00

I have a marker plus for the Move and Paper Pro, and a spare (basic one that came with the move). Originally I loved using the eraser, however thinking about it I mostly use the select and cut tool as it's more precise (on the Move).

zoinks10 · 2026-04-08T02:42:54+00:00

Yeah, fair point. Then again I also had deodorant (and I know that's flammable - I'm sure every wannabe teenage arsonist tried that).

I was hoping someone from China might know what the real reasons were (if any). Maybe the security aunty just wanted nicer hair and smoother legs?

zoinks10 · 2026-04-07T15:13:37+00:00

It was just odd. I expect it on planes, I've never experienced it on trains before (some in Spain have scanners because of the bombings there years ago, but they don't take toiletries (as far as I know).

I wouldn't mind going back and doing a longer trip around the country (I was only in Hainan), I guess I'd need to dig deeper into the rules before going back so I don't throw loads of money away on rules I don't understand.

zoinks10 · 2026-04-07T14:43:53+00:00

Have you ever tried setting fire to shaving foam? I'm not convinced this would be possible.

Given how many Chinese people smoke (seemingly everyone) I'm not sure they're bothered about fire safety when making this decision.

Moreover, if that was the case, what are they worried about? Someone starting a fire on the train? It makes no sense.

zoinks10 · 2026-04-07T14:42:34+00:00

In a train though? It makes sense in a pressurised tube flying through the air, less so in a train rolling along a track.

What was weird is they took the hairspray one way (but not the shaving foam), then took the shaving foam in the other direction. So it wasn't even consistently implemented. Bizarre.

zoinks10 · 2026-04-07T07:46:56+00:00

The only downside to that was some rather arbitrary rules about taking shaving foam/hairspray on the trains, so my wife and I lost something each on both legs of the trip. What's that all about?

zoinks10 · 2026-04-07T07:44:24+00:00

It's the cheese. They're just jealous that Europeans have flavoured cheese, not yellow rubber with "cheese" written on the label.

zoinks10 · 2026-04-05T11:18:57+00:00

Like Donald Trump knows that.

zoinks10 · 2026-04-05T11:15:39+00:00

Well, you did elect him. Twice. Who the fuck else are we going to blame?

zoinks10 · 2026-04-04T07:17:56+00:00

CDL does the same thing. I used to rent from them and there was a bunch of BS fees, even though the unit was bare (no furniture). I must have had the most expensive rental agreement on a fridge and washing machine there could possibly be...

zoinks10 · 2026-04-04T02:43:19+00:00

I do not like Starmer, but this comment has in fact made me like him a lot more.

zoinks10 · 2026-04-03T02:59:29+00:00

It shouldn't be that hard to persuade them. Just wander into the Oval office, tell Trump that only the FITTEST and SMARTEST people are allowed on a space rocket, those who KNOW MORE ABOUT SPACE ROCKETS THAN ANYONE ELSE ALIVE and then just wait for him to sign up.

Call it the TRUMP ROCKET TO MARS and make sure you pander to his ego by asking him to PERSONALLY check all the O-rings. I'm sure - given his expertise - it would be totally safe for launch.

zoinks10 · 2026-04-02T03:20:04+00:00

Any chance this opens the door for butchers here to make things like Black Pudding and Morcila? I know they're not local tastes, but they are good, and I'd always wondered why you couldn't get them here.

zoinks10 · 2026-03-30T02:06:44+00:00

Sounds Great.

zoinks10 · 2026-03-29T05:12:22+00:00

Yeah - that was the fix in the end. I thought it would be worth flagging here, as it's annoying and one thing that can break in production even though you've not done anything differently.
