Yeah 100% especially nowadays with the credit card access craze. If i’m lucky enough to blag a business class flight on work or points (never on my own dime) then the lounge is delightful as they’re usually empty and actually peaceful, rather than feeling like you’re at an all you can eat

If not, a bougie little wine bar for me (god i’m so old now)

It's the just another feather in the cap, another example of the class system really isn't it, like I've got a bigger car and all that,or that your a frequent flyer and can't tolerate people beneath you,no?

This must have been said on here before (and if not why not?) but people, particularly F1 drivers and anyone trying to sell anything, saying ‘super’ before anything…
They’re super comfy, I’m super happy, it was super exciting….
I know the use of the word super is technically correct and being used in the right context, but it just feels disingenuous when people say it.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe it's an old computer term originally, but I think it became more widespread in common vernacular due to the movie "Inside Out".

A lack of places for a decent chicken doner in Poole/Bournemouth. Also a real lack of decent fried chicken places.

Gone off lamb doner on its own unless I'm about 15 pints deep.

Beaches may be here, but the takeaways in Cov are far superior ironically the chippies are crap too compared to Cov.

Luckily, here we have the best chippie in Kent. Always winning awards and always big queues outside.

People shoehorning in phrases that aren't normally part of their vocabulary.

Peter Drury there saying Johnson is "living his best life".

It's the same with "gassed" now every wanker on Radio1 slips it in every chance they can. You actually hear their sentance pause to force it in.

Both of my grandfathers were gassed in France during the Great War.

Not as bad as the players on the pitch, but the LED advertising hoardings.

Think two of them were glitchy, as it was like someone took a picture with a camera the size of the Hubble Space Telescope when switching this weekend.

I get the reason for them. Still annoying, though!

Don't know if it's an Americanism or not but saying 'different than' instead of 'different to'. Just sounds wrong

Not sure why but these home bar and man cave things people create. They always look pretty dreadful, who wants to sit in a converted garage drinking shit beer on your own.

Shop assistants who begin or continue a conversation with someone else while they're serving me. It's as if I'm invisible or something.

My friend has a Harley Davidson trike and it's road tax is £340 pa but if he bought the equivalent Harvey Davidson motorcycle it would be £120 pa. How do they work out car/motorcycle road tax? It can't be emissions and it can't be weight so how is it done?

£120 is still robbery - bike engines are very clean should be £30 across the board - got one going historic shortly so that’s the end of mot and tax
