Either way, seeing that it is the 20th anniversary of Radio 1 in Ibiza - makes me feel old/is annoying me

(17 Aug 2015, 8:31 am)Andreos1 wrote No idea to be honest. Certainly can't think of any that have been mentioned on the radio recently.I used to go all over following Metro Roadshows mostly Alan Robson, and later Wayne..Me and Alan goes back nearly 20 years
Like Radio 1, I imagine they maybe do it over a night or two in one location (the arena?).

Also the family taking a week to decide what drinks they want and can't seem to grasp the concept of 2 for £1. And of course service 5A being late as ever.

I have actually gone a few days without posting my annoyances but sadly normal service has been resumed it seems.

I was flying PVR - PHX with them on US482 before connecting onto BA288. First of all, I was told that the queue clearly labelled 'bag drop' was for first class. Then, I got on and was sat in the second overwing exit on the A320. We were told to expect turbulence. During the usual bumps just after take off, the panel that you have to remove to open the hatch fell off the hatch in front of the one I was sat next to! Heart was in my mouth a little bit but the guy just shoved it back on! Then, I was in need of the loo. It was a 2h45 flight. The pilot said we should have the seatbelt sign switched off, but we would have to fly near some massive clouds. Anyway, for the entire flight, the seatbelt sign was on. People were getting up anyway to use the loo. I was nice enough to ask the crew if I could use the loo and got a rude response, which was basically no. We had very few bumps during the flight and the whole thing really annoyed me!
Flying back on a good old 744 of BA, we had worse bumps and no seatbelt sign on. And when it did come on, the chop was quite impressive at times. I sometimes think pilots are slightly too cautious with the belt up sign... Needless to say, as soon as we landed at PHX, I ran to the loo on the plan despite the fact we were taxiing! I have taken quite a dislike to US Airways...
(17 Aug 2015, 4:48 pm)aureolin wrote Three of the reasons I hate flying. Turbulence, over-cautiousness, and people that make 4 or 5 trips to the toilet on a couple of hours flight.
I've once done Bristol to Newcastle on easyjet, and I don't think the seatbelt warning came off for the entire trip. It was around November time, perhaps the worst flight I've had, and funnily enough - the last.

(17 Aug 2015, 9:10 pm)mb134 wrote I arrived at my bus stop this morning 5 minutes before the bus was due, and there was only one other man at the stop, as the bus approached, a few older women (they had concessionary passes) arrived. I stood up as I saw the bus approaching, along with the man who was there before I was. I let the man on the bus before me as he'd been at the bus stop before, just general manners really, before the group of women decided that they couldn't wait and pushed onto the bus before me. Bearing in mind this was a double decker bus, so there were plenty of seats,I found this quite annoying. Had it been me and a group of my friends pushing onto the bus, there would be outrage, yet it's perfectly acceptable for a group of women (who weren't actually paying for the service) who arrived 5 minutes after I did to do so?Bugs me, this does. At least when big'un's with me we get to mutually mutter to each other about how rude some people are. And it is almost always women of early buspass age. Men rarely seem to do the same (apart from a stinking sexist git I sometimes see around who seems to make a point of being as discourteous to women and younger people as he possibly can - and not just on buses - he swore at me, once, for waiting on the left at the top of the stairs in Durham marketplace because that was the way he wanted to go.)
I'm not a rude person, and I do usually let everyone on the bus before me, and had I the chance I would've let the women on before me as well, I was unable to do this because of the way they pushed in front. You may read this and think "what's he going on about, why is he annoyed, he was going to let them on anyway" I'm not annoyed about that, it was the fact that they pushed, and had I done the same (not that I ever would) they'd want me sentenced.
