I just can’t fathom anyone kicking off in an airport.

Similar, but not at all, situation in the corner shop, item on the packet as £1, coming up on the till as £1.15.
Customer had a valid point but it was a jam roll-poly and he said jam roly-poly about 5 times.
Just say cake pal.

How can anyone walk through airport security with feeling like youre bearing 100 tonnes of guilt. I literally feel like im about to get my arse searched with an ice cream scoop unless i stay as silent and helpful as possible. The thought of arguing with them seems suicidal.

Maybe it was his special shampoo for his bald head.

Maybe he was planing too have a beard bath in the sink half way through the flight so that it was luscious and silky upon landing?

Stayed up until 1am searching for that curb that goes down a hill which is in a park in Malmö (as seen in Suciu and Shin’s stories from yesterday). Took me an hour and half but I found it, because I am in the results business baby! [Work productivity will subsequently plummet today]

A couple years ago me and my wife went to Amsterdam from Bristol and ended up behind Dads on tour in the line for security.

I assume one had never been on a flight as he tried to get through with a fresh can of deodorant in his hand luggage. When challenged he then unloaded the whole can of Sure Antiperspirant (the super dusty type) under his armpits in the queue causing fits of coughs.

We passed them late one night just outside the red light district as they proudly smoked a joint, hammered. Utter cringe.

My brother in law has moved to Bristol, so my wife and I have come down from the Midlands and my father in law has travelled up from Cornwall for a day to see him here… It’s a nightmare.

So far we have been for a walk at Snuff Mills where my FIL moaned about the potholes on the roads and the condition of the river. Then we’ve gone from there to Clifton where my BIL walked off without us because he is acting like if he doesn’t eat he is going to die… And we came to see him.

Finally sat down for food when my FIL brought up the election and it’s got political and he said “Brexit was good and is working”. I had to walk off.

Nah haha. For context I should highlight he isn’t racist or dodgy. He’s just mega… For want of a better phrase thick. Somebody tells him something and he believes it. Ignorance is bliss and all that.

I’m now lay on some grass by Clifton Suspension Bridge thinking about the pint I’m gonna treat myself to when I get home!

Anyone got a Snowpeak jacket? If so, any good?

I’m after a waterproof jacket, nothing too hardcore or technical, but I want to avoid looking like a roadman or buying the sort of jacket your mum gets from Millets.

Classic internet comment sorry…Never owned anything by them, but gonna chime in anyway :grin:

looked at them a few times but I don’t buy fashion brand waterproof stuff any more,I’d rather just get a technical jacket from an outdoor brand. Been disappointed too many times.

Can’t go wrong with Arcteryx, especially if you can find it on sale.

Cheaper alternative I would consider is a 686 snowboard jacket. Their stuff is amazing, not just for snowboarding, and really cheap compared to outdoor brands.

Was looking at some of them the other day in some fancy outdoor shop in the lakes. Nearly pulled the trigger too but in the end just couldn’t convince myself that £400 was a good deal for a pac a mac.

I know but they’re the Formula Fours of jackets.

To be straight up after my “DM me Hun” type rant on here the day got sort of better. Got it off my chest putting it on here, had a word with myself and relaxed by the clifton observatory in the sun and then at St George’s Park after.

Snuff Mills was great imo, the company was the issue at points but ended alright haha.
