At least they make nice cheese.

Striking French bastards! Meant to be going to eurodisney with the kids tomorrow for 4 days and the flight gets cancelled today    Air traffic control are spme bunch of pricks.

You kids must be heartbroken.
We were there for 2 nights after Christmas and the journey to get there was beyond all levels of hell due to weather but it was worth it .

At the moment Liverpool FC...

Wankers. Missed seeing The Cure in Glasgow back in the 90s because of French lorry drivers. The gig was cancelled because all their gear was stuck in france.

Oh man, what a dose. If it's not one lot it's always some lot over there striking holding the whole place up (and Glasgow!). Train drivers have settled down here at least - they used to be murder as well before.

We're haunted we went through a travel agent so they were able to rearrange things.
They wanted an extra €800 first to go the same day next week as rates messed up by the bank holiday weekend, but in the end we were able to go Friday-Tuesday for the same price so the €800 extra for Thurs-Mon makes no real sense.

Thankfully this got sorted after a lot of calls and mails back and forth so the kids were grand in the end after intial disappointment. First world problems eh 

On the plus side this falls much better for me only having to take 1 day off work instead of 3

Good to hear you got sorted. I was at the Disneyland in Japan a couple of weeks ago, my first time being at a Disneyland, and it was incredible. You'll have a blast. Your kids might even have fun too

The Avengers campus is the brilliant, particularly the Iron man ride. It's one of the first things we did not knowing really what is was. When all the warming announcements were being played we were not listening as we were exhausted from the day of hell before.
When it takes off be prepared for you a reverse orgasm.
The phone app is great for telling you the queue times.
I'm sure you know all of this already.

[Circlepit]

I'm not sure how I ended up with that double quote so apologies for it's obscene length.

[Snare]

Thanks a million folks.

Yeah the Avengers section was being built the last time we were there so we're well looking forward to that section. I went 13 years ago when that section was the Cars stuntshow village with the grandstands and that was class, especially when the flame heat washed across the crowd.
Speaking of Cars, the train ride through the canyon is a real nice surprise, totally different to what you'd expect to be a lesiurely drive around to relax for a change. A hidden gem if anyone is visitng euro disney 
The waiting time app rocks for sure

We went on the Cars thing twice. My daughter loved it.
That Tower of Terror ride had my stomach doing all sorts of acrobatics.
The Ratatouille thing is brilliant but for sheer balls twisting holy shit it has to be Space Mountain and the Iron Man thing.
You know when there is a countdown you are about to have your face melted.
Hope ye have dry days!

[Eoin McLove]

Space Mountain is some buzz. I had tears streaming down my face when I got off. Not sure how much of that was joy and how much was fear... definitely both to some degree.

It was the tea cups that killed me in the end though. My stomach wad upside down.

I'm an unapologetic watcher of Masterchef. The new season of Masterchef Australia started last week and on day one every single contestant,  supposedly amateur, were dishing up dishes worthy of a final. The judges, all either chefs or professional foodies of one kind or another- Jamie Oliver among them- were completely blown away and saying they haven't in all their years tasted food like this. This is day fucking one! Such a load of shite. The entire point of the show is to take home cooks and bring them on an epic journey turning them into amazing five star chefs. Every episode, every dish so far (a week in) has been almost perfect, 5 star standard. Fuck off! This isn't a competition, it's boring as hell.

Space mountain fucked up my neck for a few days. I don't do rollercoasters. Got tricked onto it by my brother in law. Tower of terror was class !

A lad in work listened to some 40 crime minute podcast about Norwegian Black Metal and is now the leading expert on the genre - without ever listening to a single note. I have had at least 3 conversations with him about the same topic since last week.

Below is compendium;

Apropos of nothing.

"Have you heard of the band, Mayhem?"

Fucking hell - where is this going? - "I have, yeah. Why are you aski..."

"Listened to a podcast about them. Shower of weird cunts aren't they? Killing each other and all that. Burning churches. Did you know that they used a photo of the murder scene on their album..."

"Not an official album..."

"... and do you know what the dead fella's name was?"

"Dead."

"Dead. And he was fuckin' dead! Then they were off burning churches and stuff. And do you be listening to this stuff at home all the time?"

"Not..."

"Fuckin' mental stuff!"


He now tells me that there is a Richey Edwards episode too - I will throttle him by week's end.

Been feeling like shit all day, and rough in general the past few days. Sore throat and blocked up on and off, but today I've been dizzy, weak and queasy since this afternoon. Did a Covid test just in case (negative), probably just a flu coming on. Fucking shite timing, I have an interview in the morning.
