I asked my son after about 30 mins if the lights are really that important. Turns out they are. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie Posted December 18, 2022 Share Posted December 18, 2022 We sometimes play Monopoly on xbox, so much less aggro and more fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cant you just tell the person whether they have won money or not upfront rather than have them standing there in the shop shaving away at a piece of card with a 2p coin. All they are is a bit more profit In the bag for the lottery company. I have to say I have never bought one, to me its a load of boll***s, as is the lottery, big winners always seem to be a middle aged man and wife who are going on a luxury cruise and having their Million plus house redecorated while there away.

Demitri_C Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 I love Christmas but absolutely hate the lead up to it. People acting like animals in super markets barging and shoving. Buying so much shit that wont get eaten and ends up in the bin. People fighting over parking spots Tesco was like a royal rumble. Im not stepping foot in a supermarket until xmas days over. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xela Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 I've got to brave the supermarket tomorrow at some point. Won't be Sainsburys at Mere Green as that was like the Walking Dead even last week! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

il_serpente Posted December 21, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted December 21, 2022 So my son was supposed to return yesterday from his first semester at university. Major snowstorm in the Pacific Northwest and his flight is cancelled right as he's about to leave for the airport. No way to get through to anyone on the phone to rebook since they all direct you to go online. Next available flight listed for that airline is on 12/24, and our whole family is scheduled to fly to Mexico that day. Buses to Seattle, where we could probably find flights, are all cancelled. We manage to get him on a train as far as Bellingham, WA tonight (no seats available to Seattle) and a flight out of there tomorrow to Las Vegas and on to San Jose after a bit of a layover. Then my wife gets an e-mail from the airline saying to expect delays or cancellations for any flights out of a list of airports that includes Bellingham. Wifey is freaking out right now. If he can't fly out in the morning, the only way to get him home in time is to somehow get him to Seattle, probably by Uber ($300) and hope we can get him on a flight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
