@Matt oh yeah, greed gutting the engineering competency of one of the world’s most iconic brands is another one. No need to be worried about that on an Airbus.

Southern Germany, Bavaria in particular, has been hit pretty badly by severe flooding over the past week. This has also impacted train travel…

(looked like a lawyer)

exactly the reason i try very hard not to look like one, each and every day.

[Tago Mago]

@tody Mission accomplished in my book

[Matt]

Perhaps you’ve gone too far in the other direction…

[tody]

Too much of a defendant look?

[DeeDee85]

@Giles In general I have a very long fuse and have only ever lost my temper a couple of times in my life, but I believe I’d have ended up getting arrested in that scenario

[Giles]

In hindsight, there were so many ways I could have handled it better, that is, make him look like an even more complete cunt, but in the heat of the moment, I failed....

@tody reminds me of a joke about Liverpudlians:

Q: What do you call a scouser in a suit?
A: The defendant.

I'm surprised. that in Britain someone else looks at appearance. This is an eternal problem in Russia. Here everyone is judged by their clothes. I work at a car service station. Somehow, between my affairs, I decided to drop by the bank to pay off the loan. I was wearing overalls. The security guard stopped me. Dress appropriately and come again. I exploded with obscene words and the wrath of the Roman gods)) Then I demanded to call the chief manager. They let me in)) The same thing happened in the supermarket. Fucking clothes!! Mother fuck

[tody]

@neph93 That's hilarious, although I have never been to Liverpool. Seems they don't have any lawyers there?

[ARNC]

@Walery-Smirnoff we have 101 ways to judge someone on their appearance and the same again when they open their mouth!

[DeeDee85]

@Giles I think you handled it rather well! Better than I would have handled it anyway I’m sure he felt like a complete cunt.. some people just need to get off their high horse and mind their own friggin business.

[Tago Mago]

@tody maybe they don't have enough?

[Giles]

To celebrate my 60th birthday, Paula and I did a round-the-worlder. We went business class because it's actually pretty good value compared to economy (coach to the heathens). Boarding a BA flight, the steward greeted me and without asking to see my boarding pass, pointed me to economy. He got a boarding pass in the face too......

Also,What do you call a drummer in a 3 piece suit?…The defendant!

@Giles How was the rest of the flight? Especially attentive service?

[Giles]

Amazingly attentive

[Brian]

It’s like the millionaire walking into a Ferrari garage in flip flops shorts and a tshirt and being left unattended and not spoken to even though they could buy any of the cars there ( well not quite if you know how super car sales work ) and the tyre kicker in a suit getting all the attention

[IrishHeart]

@Brian you do have to be careful kicking tyres in flip flops!
