Never had any trouble with that, take it you would get compo and an arranged flight? , it's just weird to me when gate opens and everyone bolts up to queue, seen them standing for a good 30 minutes, also the same people who are up and out their seat the minute the seat belt sign comes off

I love not being in a hurry for things like this.

The hoops you have to jump through to get into self catering accommodation.

I'm going to Glasgow tomorrow for a few nights, booked through Booking.com but the agent is Hive Apartments.

They messaged with instructions, and a request for £300 in case of damage, fair enough, that's common practice but they also want photo id, not that they will ever meet me.

Then, they will message 1 hour before arrival with a 6 digits code that I have to take to a local shop to get the key. Why not send me that 24 hours before in case there's a problem.

Just seems overkill. I didn't book direct and there was no mention of this at the time of booking.

Whenever you search something on Safari now a suggestion to switch to the Google app appears and if you don’t press the right button to dismiss it you get stuck in a hell loop of jumping between Safari and the App Store.

It’s so ****ing annoying.

And if you turn them inside out before you put them in the machine they're bound to stay like that

Sorry to burst your bubble, it just means you're old!

The youngsters know who all these people are, likely 'follow' most of them, and are influenced by some.

Old isn't cool. Never has been.

I think it depends. Most people don't know everyone (I think) but a lot of these celeb shows can go either way.

Watching the soccer aid 1% club special with my in-laws and they knew some older actor or something whilst I knew someone that had been on love island a few years back.

People who go way OTT about the football season being over.

I like routine, I like going to Hibs games and I understand for some people that is even more important but a couple of guys I know are acting like a few Saturdays without the football is a bereavement. Posting pictures on social media of travel to away days with captions like 'memories of what we are living without' or 'hate the close season, absolutely nothing to do for ages'. Mate go for a walk, play golf, climb a hill, have a pint, go to the pictures, get on a train and get pissed just for the sake of it if that's what you enjoy most about an away day............It's 4 or 5 weeks without a game ffs. We know when it's coming back, it's not like the covid lockdown which was an indefinite hiatus. Some variation of a Hibs XI will be playing games in Scotland in less than 4 weeks and the first XI not long after.

I've just been to see Bonnie Raitt in concert, most young folk won't know who she is but I think it was 'cool'

Well clearly it is. Bonnie is. Sadly I would say that. I'm 45.

We're outside of the demographic that these shows are tailored too. Streaming stars in order to pander to the young. Looks over substance in most cases.

Bonnie Raitt, Willie Nelson, Saga holidays. That's all we get.

Monday next week is Melissa Etheridge, also at the Glasgow concert hall, then 2 weeks today is Brandi Carlile, also Glasgow concert hall.

You're probably right, mature people tend to watch less *****.

Sitting in an overspill car park waiting on my daughter’s dance class to finish. I’m the only car in this sizeable section. Two cars have arrived early for the next class and despite a whole car park to choose from they have parked either side of me. Why?? We’re all sitting awkwardly trying to avoid eye contact as a long half an hour to be sitting side by side in our cars.

N'ah, awkward would be you driving forward in to another space and giving them the stink eye on the rear view mirror!

Feels like there is a comedy sketch in there somewhere. When doggers go on the school run, to the shops, drop their kids off...
