Title: Hols
Post by: The Moan Ranger on August 01, 2007, 01:32:38 PM
So the time of year has come whereby I will be off to sunnier climes for the traditional fortnight of sun, sea and diarrhoea.

As usual I have timed it perfection in that the sun has recently made itself known once more here following the recent monsoon season, so I will doubtless miss what is laughably called "the British Summer".
Come Friday night, I will be herded through Gatwick South like a sheep going to the abattoir in a place resembling a scene from Dawn of the Dead. I will be standing, cheek by jowel with various horrors - all coughing, snotting, farting, staring into space and listening to some detritus on the iPod/MP3 thingies.
When we finally get to the front of the Check-In queue, the uninterested attendant will ask me to put our bags on the weighing device and it is at this point, they can give you their sanctimonious stare when they proudly declare that you have exceeded the 15kg limit per person. Now, I ask you - 15kgs! The weight of my PG Tips tea bags, Fray Bentos meat pies and Suntan lotion probably comes to about that, before we even start considering my Speedos, sandals and white socks. But that's the limit, because some chinless wonder further up the scale thinks that reducing the weight may save a few trees. Well excuse me, but that is bollo*. If I were to turn around in the queue I will doubtless see all manner of human dustbins, sweating profusely and each weighing the same as a small terraced house.
How about having a maximum weight limit for the people flying?! Surely that's fairer - say 100kg for passenger and luggage combined?  Think of the benefits - the anorexic models can take bags and bags of Chanel, Dior, Karen Millen & George gear and still be OK. The porkers? Well, you guessed it, they won't be able to fly unless  nearly naked and carrying no more than a toothbrush and deodorant. Many will simply not be able to fly, so the airport will be a lot quieter. The holiday trade in the UK will boom as the heifers re-acquaint themselves with the Kiss-Me-Quick hat, radiation contaminated shellfish and shifty B&B owners. After a few years of that, they may even decide to get healthy - the benefits for the nation are endless. And all the while, I will be sunning my ar$e laughing at them...
I think I could be on to something here?

The weight limit is probably there to protect the thieving scum that hurl your bag onto the ?plane. Heaven forbid they should put their backs out while attempting to steal anything valuable from your case.

Having said that, I?m in agreement with you ? in ?normal? life you can taker measures to avoid the obese but air travel forces you together. There is nothing worse than having one next to you taking a seat-and-a-half except perhaps having a human weeble sitting or perhaps lying is a better description on the seat in front. Not only do you spend the journey in fear of the seat collapsing on you but the double horror of imagining the chaos caused by lardy in the event of an emergency evacuation (of the ?plane).

No, lards should be charged excess baggage plus a supplemental charge for a reinforced seat complete with double-size tray for their super-meal and multiple bottles of free booze.

Snoopy, is skin cancer something you "contract" or something you "develop"? Anyway, so far the only down side is too many Scousers, but they seem pleasant enough. On the plane over a most attractive blonde sat next to me and then fell asleep on my shoulder. Mrs TMR was not amused. Now, back to the beer...

Britain now has more deaths per annum from Malignant Melanoma than Australia and over 69,000 new cases of skin cancer are diagnosed each year. Many of the people who contract skin cancer have never been abroad. People are unaware of the very real risk posed by the sun in the UK and the damage it can cause to the skin's DNA; they will use high factor sun cream on foreign holidays, they do not use the same protection at home.

Cancer Research UK said that the rises were "worrying", especially as the disease was "almost entirely preventable".

I know that - by my simple brain says you "contract" something like a cold - something that can be passed through airborne viruses, whereas you would "develop" other conditions, through cell mutations arising from carcinogens. Just being a pedant.

Anyhoooo hopefully my skin will be the same brown colour as my lungs doubtless are after so many years smoking. As a Beagle, thought you'd be a keen smoker yourself :-)

Funny that I just flew with Ryanair which I thout was a good cheep flight until like you I got to the check in then found out that I had to pay ?10 each way for the privliage of having a case then I was over wait by 4kgs so another ?20 but the funny thing is I could carry 10kgs as hand luggage so you try to keep hand luggage to a minimum s oyou dont have much in the cabin and you are penilised for doing so you cant win can you?

Welcome blueboy - and you are right about the hand luggage. We were "overweight" on the way out and were told we would be charged if the cases weren't lighter homeward. In the spirit of being an argumentative bastard, I asked the uninteredted check-in girl what whe suggested. Her response was "throw some stuff out". I asked if I could stick the 4kgs worth in the hand luggage and she said "yeah, that's fine". I then asked how this juggling would save overall weight on the plane and thus fuel needed. She looked at me like a whipped dog.

Now I must go as the bar is calling and too many green and white hoops are hurting my eyes.

They are plastic, egg shaped and hollow. Inside they have ball bearings that roll around with the movement of the body causing a "vibration". Normally two are used simultaneously and are joined by a string. The string aids recovery. Inserted into the vagina they are, I am told, very stimulating to the user and of obvious end benefit to her male partner of choice.
Any "beep" would be the metal detector devices picking up on the metal of the ball bearings though I am told that nowadays one can also purchase electric versions that work on the same principle as a vibrator so the metal detector would pick up the metals used in the "motor".

Well done Wenchy for admitting to their use. My admiration for you grows daily.

A friend went to a wedding on Saturday, the whole event at a hotel and  ended up being pulled by some attractive female and retired to his room. Next morning he is having breakfast with his mum & grand-mum (he is a good few years younger than me) when female from previous night appears and asks very matter of factly if she could have her underwear and ear-rings.

You seem to know a lot about them. A hobby of yours?

Still agog.








Where do you put the batteries?

Used to have a sideline selling such things since you ask. The batteries are in the switch device which has a wire that runs inside the clothing of the wearer to a convenient pocket.
I also had a girlfriend who was very fond of them. Unfortunately Mrs S#1 was not so fond the idea of either the products or the GF.
OK?

No I did not. Worked the "Markets" for a while on my days off to supplement income. Some undies and stuff like that + "under the counter" marital aids.
Why "Under the counter"? ~ Because people are prudish and object to in your face selling of "adult" items.
And No not Stock Markets but Street Markets.

Do they come with a manual written in pidgin english?

Must try that at Birkenhead Market on Saturday. I fear that Mrs Nick may know nothing of these devices of which you speak (though come to think of it I imagine at least 2 of her friends are up to speed, but they were air hostesses).

Go to Ann Summers or any shop with ADULT written on the blacked out windows. The Market Traders gave up on such things when licences were required to sell "Adult" items.
Trust the Councils to find another way to tax people. ::)
And if you want to have some idea if and how they work insert a pair into your anus and go for a jog along the beach ~ I'll even pay for them if you really want to try it out ~ but don't forget to leave the string hanging out or you may have trouble with recovery, and the A&E department will have a good laugh  point:

And - lo and behold - he didn't get charged, even though I'm sure the wheelchair alone exceeded the paltry 15kg limit. So it seems that fat people and spaccers are subsidised by us normal sized people.

So the time of year has come whereby I will be off to sunnier climes for the traditional fortnight of sun, sea and diarrhoea.

As usual I have timed it perfection in that the sun has recently made itself known once more here following the recent monsoon season, so I will doubtless miss what is laughably called "the British Summer".
Come Friday night, I will be herded through Gatwick South like a sheep going to the abattoir in a place resembling a scene from Dawn of the Dead. I will be standing, cheek by jowel with various horrors - all coughing, snotting, farting, staring into space and listening to some detritus on the iPod/MP3 thingies.
When we finally get to the front of the Check-In queue, the uninterested attendant will ask me to put our bags on the weighing device and it is at this point, they can give you their sanctimonious stare when they proudly declare that you have exceeded the 15kg limit per person. Now, I ask you - 15kgs! The weight of my PG Tips tea bags, Fray Bentos meat pies and Suntan lotion probably comes to about that, before we even start considering my Speedos, sandals and white socks. But that's the limit, because some chinless wonder further up the scale thinks that reducing the weight may save a few trees. Well excuse me, but that is bollo*. If I were to turn around in the queue I will doubtless see all manner of human dustbins, sweating profusely and each weighing the same as a small terraced house.
How about having a maximum weight limit for the people flying?! Surely that's fairer - say 100kg for passenger and luggage combined?
  Think of the benefits - the anorexic models can take bags and bags of Chanel, Dior, Karen Millen & George gear and still be OK. The porkers? Well, you guessed it, they won't be able to fly unless  nearly naked and carrying no more than a toothbrush and deodorant. Many will simply not be able to fly, so the airport will be a lot quieter. The holiday trade in the UK will boom as the heifers re-acquaint themselves with the Kiss-Me-Quick hat, radiation contaminated shellfish and shifty B&B owners. After a few years of that, they may even decide to get healthy - the benefits for the nation are endless. And all the while, I will be sunning my ar$e laughing at them...
I think I could be on to something here?


Seems someone was listening!
