Re: Today I'm angry about.....
This thing about airport shops requiring you to show your boarding passes so they can claim the VAT back and not pass it on to you, dear customer...I genuinely thought it was something security related (coz if memory serves, they sneaked it in on the back of some sort of security "thing". I'm thinking of booking a flight somewhere, just so I can tell them to fcuk right off. Robbing bastards,

Not took them long to start protesting and causing trouble has it?
Illegally enter a country then start pushing for 'rights' and special treatment, you couldn't make it up.

Of course. Asking to not be locked up in a stadium is what constitutes special treatment.Hoboh wrote:http://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/a ... s#comments

No if you read it you'd find they were protesting about not getting paperwork quick enough to wander off into the rest of the EU and Calais!BWFC_Insane wrote:Of course.

Anyway why not hold them in a safe environment? After all they have to protect tourists, those who actually contribute to their islands.

They were complaining about being locked up for an extended period of time in a stadium with no access to medical treatment and that for the thousands of people there were only 3 police people there to register them.Hoboh wrote:No if you read it you'd find they were protesting about not getting paperwork quick enough to wander off into the rest of the EU and Calais!BWFC_Insane wrote:Of course.

I'd say that complaint is nowhere near "special treatment". Perhaps it is just me....

Re: Today I'm angry about.....
Think we've all fallen for this one Worthy. There was talk of encourging everyone to refuse to show in during their next purchases but I suppose they'd just refuse to serve you. Imagine going long haul without a newspaper or crisp new paperback?Worthy4England wrote:This thing about airport shops requiring you to show your boarding passes so they can claim the VAT back and not pass it on to you, dear customer...I genuinely thought it was something security related (coz if memory serves, they sneaked it in on the back of some sort of security "thing".

Re: Today I'm angry about.....
Saw a thing about it this morning. I doubt that they'd refuse the sale. You're well within your rights to tell them to go feck themselves, apparently. Though quite how far you'll get coming out with similar to one of those bastard fecking autotills in WH Smith is unclear!Harry Genshaw wrote:Think we've all fallen for this one Worthy.

Prepare for those cold calls .... "Our records show you flew out of the country in the past 10 years. You may have been the victim of a VAT loss and we will represent you. You could get 20% of your proven purchases plus damages. Has this traumatised you Mr bobo ?"
"F'cough"
"So I'll say you're interested Mr bobo"
"No, F'cough"
"So that's a possible. Our experts will contact you"
"F'cough ... & take me off your contact list"
"It's been a pleasure doing business with you."
"F'cough"
"Have a lovely day"
"F'cough"

Given the large crowds and overwhelming interest in this, are you really that surprised?

^^^ though, to be fair, I've seen more people watching Horwich RMI CC than at the Wimminz Ashes as spotted on the BBC News headlines (coz it's THAT important).
Less goats though.

Re: Today I'm angry about.....
Talking of sport, tennis this time, I see that utter nice person Kyrgios has been gobbing off on court about wawrinkas girlfriend. I think it's time some of the older boys got a grip of him in the locker room and flushed his head down the toilet at the very least. They could also shave his stupid Mohican off. And beat him senseless just to make sure the point has been made.

The wankers handling my lost luggage, who insist that they have it, said it'll be delivered to the hotel that I've just pitched up at between 1:00 and 6:00. 1 hr and 10 mins left. It's not looking good. I fly home at 6 in the morning. fecking blazing.
