    Well no, not really, but it did make me feel like a genuine D.O.M. once again! <laugh>

    Looks a touch sprightly and too full of beans for this Auld Scot!

    <steam> 13 of the most infuriating people at airports – which one are you? <steam>

    1. The check-in diva
    Take them out and shoot them.

    2. The herd of queue jumpers
    Take them out and shoot them.

    3. The security scrabbler
    Take them out and shoot them.
    Alternatively have two queues: one for those of us that adhere to the process and will get through in five minutes; and one for the brain dead remainder to wait.

    4. The tray faffer
    If you cannot walk without your shoes on, we have a firing squad as a permanent remedy.

    5. Perfume assassins
    Avoid eye contact and, just like chuggers, they will not bother you.

    6. Abrupt stoppers
    Steer clear of the snails.

    7. Charging station hoggers
    Avoid charging stations – charge you mobile the night before at home.

    8. Seat spillers
    Take them out and shoot them.

    9. Travelator blockers
    Avoid travelators – I walk quicker than they move anyway at Charles De Gaulle.

    10. Backpack bashers
    Same as 6 – just steer clear of them.

    11. Boarding anarchists
    Never understood the need to be on the plane early as it will not be going anywhere until the last few are aboard, so why queue before there are only a dozen folks left?

    12. Departure delayers
    Take them out and shoot them.

    13. Carousel bullies
    Drop your case on their toes.

    Hopefully I was none of them. Agree with most of what you say, although some of your remedies are indeed extreme, except 12 where in some cases it is unavoidable.

    Departure delayers are very very annoying, but sometimes bloody impossible to avoid. For example, years ago at Abidjan airport we were kept waiting for one hour past take-off time on a UTA* flight to Paris via Nice by the Ivory Coast Minister of Transport. What to do? Bugger-all you can do, of course. One could hardly arrange for him to be shot? In reality, quite the reverse might have happened! For me, however, the journey ended supremely well as the last leg from Nice to Paris was in wonderful early-morning sunshine, and so we were able to view the French Alps at its brilliant best. I had never seen any section of the Alps look so beautiful from the air, shimmering silver and white. Wouldn't have missed it for the world.

    * UTA ceased operations in 1992 - absorbed into Air France. I liked UTA, good airline with excellent flight crews.

    I saw this building from the plane on leaving Wichita airport the other day and wondered what the hell it is.

    Thanks to google I found out it is the Gavilon grain store and contains the world's largest grain elevator. That's a lot of grain!!!

    During the bore draw on Sky, a substitute was seen to put on his sports bra then pull his football shirt on over the top of it.
    Is this the #MeToo effect on football? <laugh>

    Have to agree there, but I do enjoy the good old English pork sausage (when I can get it) and also the Polish one (have you tried the latter? Bloody good barbecued!) <ok>

    Quite partial to 'Richmond' thick pork sausages however the packaging suggests they are made to an original (?) Irish recipe. Turning to Polish sausages I am pretty sure I will have tried this delicacy during my extended stay in Krakow last year however ..................... !

    <laugh> True, never was much good at doing barbecues myself, although I do like the bangers slightly on the burnt side, even though it's very unhealthy, apparently. <ok>

    Just saw an ad on tv advertising The Good Doctor. I was told it was the show I couldn't get enough of.

    Well **** me .... I never knew. I must be some sort of idiot. <doh>
