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

overheard my mom doing some work today, she arranges transport for kids in special measures to get to and from school, basically taxis for kids, had a dad phone up with a special request of "no Asian drivers" to which she said "i cant do that" he gave her dogs abuse, phoned her boss, gave him dogs abuse, slated the government and what this country was coming to, stated that part of his 12 year old child's disability made him a racist

the whole thing is nuts

We used to get that quite often. 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

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

It was a photo I took of a bastard big rocket launcher that was sold to Korea by Burma as a cherry picker that caused a bit of eye brow raising last time

Got Tonyh Jnr with me as well... I feel some father and son poses in front of important leader statues coming up :)

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?!

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 .....

Proper daft innit

Surely that link can be broken.  I don't want to be blasted in the middle of the night by a phone call but I may want to be blasted in the morning by my alarm if I'm a heavy sleeper.  It's so **** Apple to even try and control that.  Absolute words removed.

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.

Use a shammy leather instead, works well on my car.

Why not just buy an alarm clock?  I think I've had mine for 18 years and never once slept through it.
