tonyh29 Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 Flying to Beijing which you can now do Visa on arrival if you transit out in 144 hours BA desk knew nothing of this when we checked the bags in , it’s been a policy for about a year now can’t beleive we are the first people to ever use it the counter assistant got a Chinese colleague to come over and she knew about it and asked where we were heading on to ... Pyongyang was my answer ...oh she said you can’t transit inside China on the visa on arrival you have to go onto a third country ...WTF , it’s not like Pyongyang is never in the news , I’d sorta expect people to know where it is , unless the Chinese are invading and it’s about to come under their control ?? about to board the plane in a minute I imagine there will be another round of where is your visa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Today is the first day of term and we've no longer got the local authority's specialist school contracts, out of choice. We didn't bid for the tenders. Too much grief and we were losing customers in peak hours as a result of these time wasting, frustrating jobs that often came with idiotic stipulations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After you sold their military secrets to the secret services last time? It was a pleasure to know you and I hope you are eventually freed. On the plus side you won't be able to listen to Big Country and James any more, it is possibly for the best 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StefanAVFC Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 I’ve slept through my alarm the past 2 mornings. Confused why. Turns out the volume is set to basically silent and I didn’t realise. It’s linked to ringer volume on iPhone. Wtf is that about?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 We've probably had this before, but shit bathroom towels that basically smear the water over your body as opposed to absorbing it. May as well use a sheet of plastic ..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Towels are particularly bad when new as many are treated during the manufacturing process to make them feel softer; unfortunately this reduces their absorbency. For more absorbent (but less soft) towels, wash them without fabric conditioner. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I buy 1 product and make sure it isn't Apple. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
