    Thank you for demonstrating your complete lack of real world knowledge, particularly in respect of public houses with a food offering.
    Wet trade overall will earn a few percent. Food trade starts at around 50% profit margin.

    It is nonsensical wank. It does not matter a shit whether its just alcohol, just food, food and alcohol, close the bars at 9pm, or 10pm or 6pm.

    Anything that puts people in a confined space for a period of time is going to foster transmission.

    Wouldn't serving food increase the chances of it spreading due to the kitchen and waiting staff? (should one of them have it)

    Is that a rhetoric question?

    I've just bought the tool to do the job myself in the future for less than a fiver.

    Gotta re-tile the bathroom floor and repaint the kitchen ceiling before Xmas, but there's a full day of Premier League action and some polls to organise.

    AirAsia. Again.
    Since updating the app I am getting about two nagging messages every day offering super fantastic deals that I am not interested in. Can I find a setting anywhere that allows me to opt out of this torrent of uselessness?
    So far, no.

    Escalate one step at a time until the nightmare ends:
    # Send STOP right back at them;
    # Forward the messages to 7726;
    # Block them on your iPhone /Android;
    # Send an angry email to unsubscribe@fly.airasia.com;
    # Send an abusive email to abuse@fly.airasia.com (include dick pics);
    # Chat with AVA. Scare her. Make her fear for her life. This won't achieve anything really, but it might make you feel better;
    # Diss them biatches on Twitter and Facebook;
    # Report AirAsia to your local telecommunications authority;
    # Turn up at your nearest AirAsia office with automatic weapons and demand satisfaction * ;
    # Change your phone number;
    # Destroy your phone.
    HTH
    * Consult a local lawyer before attempting this one. Some police services frown upon this sort of thing.

    Not my moan, but a worthy moan on behalf of a friend ive known for 16 years.

    Since lockdown started he's had the worst year imaginable.

    His wife went off the rails and ended their domestic bliss by having an affair with her fitness instructor.

    She took off for 6 months then returned to steal his credit cards and empty his bank accounts so she could continue her lifestyle with her new boyfriend.

    She got a court injunction banning him from their home accusing him of rape and domestic abuse, hes now on bail.

    He lost his job through stress, then wrote off his car.
    He gets the children at the weekend so she can spend time with her boyfriend.
    He's now on antidepressants and lost a ton of weight.
    He looks a shadow of his former fit and happy self.

    Now he's back living with his parents with nothing and looking like a zombie.

    I've tried getting him back to work and leading a healthier lifestyle.

    Shit happens, but this blokes had an avalanche of shit.

    At least he's still alive. One of my best mates I've known since 18 recently carked it from cancer. The whole process was awful for both of us.

    At least your friend has lost weight. Once he is slightly de-zombified, he should go out and find a girlfriend....it's the best cure. "Hair of the dog" and all that.

    Sticky labels on fruit... I'm starting to get really pissed off by them.

    You can't buy an apple, a banana or even a carton of satsumas without each and every one having a sticky label telling you what it is.

    It's worse at home because all the fruit peelings go to our hens, so I have to remove each label cos I don't want to choke a chicken.

    The Bishop of St Asaph, Gregory Cameron, has just issued a Christmas message urging us all to listen to angels.

    A Christmas message from the Bishop of St Asaph, Gregory Cameron | Rhyl Journal

    To my mind, this kind of thinking belongs in the 16th century. Still, it is a special time of year for Christians, and I respect that, so I shall say no more as I don't want to bash a bishop.

    Right, who's doing the monkey?

    Completely agree. Unnecessary plastic. I think the worst are on apples where they are sometimes so perfectly stuck that it takes a knife to remove them.

    A chain supermarket I frequent here in Nan province regularly sells out-of-date products. In particular I frequently see out-of-date yogurt packs and have noticed (too often to be chance) that where there is a lot of them they discount all of these yogurt packs at the register. So being slightly savvy I always grab a couple extra of in-date packs when I see a lot of o-o-d and more often than not get a >33% discount on them.

    To balance the story a little the wife and I eat this yogurt at home up to ten days past expiry where not enough homestay guests had the English style breakfast. We never serve o-o-d anything to our guests.

    Fcuking kids outside school, call me racist but I'm talking about Thai kids, teen size, which will never learn that streets are for cars because they haven't yet been run down.

    Had one last week, bought a drink from some street stall against the school wall and totally distracted with the straw stepped backwards into my path. Taught him a few new words which he probably didn't understand, but got the gist and promptly ran to crouch behind a concrete bollard.

    Fcuking farang driving too fast outside schools, calls them teenage Thai kids racist, seems he will never learn that back streets are for pedestrians and cars have to go slow because he hasn't yet run one down and had to deal with the street courts justice.

    Had one last week, bought a drink from some street stall against the school wall and totally distracted with the straw stepped backwards into his path. Learnt a few new words which probably didn't understand because farang jibber jabber and mumble, but got out of the way and promptly ran to crouch behind a concrete bollard while farang grumbled.

    Fcuk me William you still here...?

    Well, quite possibly I wasn't doing 80 from the tracks to Sukhumvit, and also quite possibly I didn't hit him because I was aware it's a school and drive accordingly, though I wouldn't vouch for the same outcome with a typical Thai driver in that situation.

    There ya go, not just racist but also stereotyping and judgmental, your Xmas gift.
