      I wonder if airlines and airports have weekly meetings on how to make travel more difficult and frustrating. Every time I do everything right, the electronics in the bags are packed correctly, liquids in the right containers and bags, we still end up getting wrong.

      Congratulations to those in charge making something fairly simple and what used to be fun, a semi what miserable experience.

        …and a special thanks to the staff whose job is to check if your bag fits into the metal rack torture device to see if your bag will fit in the overhead bin.

        My wife and I have identical bags and he was positive my bag wouldn’t fit. After I showed him mine would, he did the same thing for my wife’s bag. Meanwhile I think I saw someone pushing a chesterfield (sofa/couch) past us…

          @goosehd 100% agree. The amount of stuff some people take you'd think they're moving house

              Also @goosehd : hope you enjoy your trip despite the rocky start and I'm sure your vacation will more than make up for the trouble.

                It already has and boarding to commence shortly. Just a rant about the status of life and the idiocy of a simple event that we all deal with time to time.

                I think you could go through security with speedos, flip flops, and zero luggage and they would still find a reason to stop you.

                  @goosehd I think airports are designed to suck all the joy out of you. More positively, things can only get better from here!

                        The only thing more miserable than going through an airport, is going through an airport with kids. Have that joy to look forward to this week 😩

                                      Fucking local drug dealers are using my doorstep as a pick-up and drop-off point for one of their number again. Thought we'd seen the last of them after we reported a suspect vehicle parked next to my house last year, which turned out to be stolen, and led to a police chase when the police turned up to seize it just as the dealers were getting back into it.

                                      I don't particularly give a monkey's about the drug-dealing per se - they've never bothered anyone in our neighbourhood - but there's clearly a reason they don't want to park at one of their own houses, and I'd rather a rival gang didn't spot the car, put two and two together to reach five, and conclude that me or my neighbours are their rivals.

                                      Take the dive...

                                        I might do something like this to the spot where they park. It seems to have been effective:
