At airports I always seem to encounter middle aged English couples who want to have a long chat.

[Pat Vegas]

Where they basically show off about how they work/own a house in Italy or where ever else it may be.

They are always the same. After I escaped the conversation they had locked their target onto another Middle aged couple. and the waffling on was in full force. They even start to exchange email addresses and phone numbers.

In the place.

Then I had some Australians come up to me. 'Hey you are Australian too?'

Strange question.

People always want to chat to me.

[Berni]

motorbike. Incredibly dull and kept trying to get my gf and me to go for a drink/meal with them. I tried all sorts of evasive tactics to no avail and was eventually left with no alternative but to be quite rude and say that my gf and I wanted to be on our own and didn't want company.

Awful, awful people.

[Snin]

i just need to teach it to the GF now who is far more chatty and sociable... :banghead:

[Pat Vegas]

smoke when you land.

Then when I land I say I want to have a smoke no let's hurry up and get to the hotel/home.

very often and they want to constantly lean in your personal space to look out the window.

To which I shut the blind.

[Snin]

doing so he is demonstrating why Italian women often end up with non Italian men..as they cant believe how easy it is to walk all over the soft feckers

[Ashberto]

to save time.

[Pat Vegas]

even at hotels I like to go for a smoke outside to soak up some of the local atmosphere.

Like instead of saying that's he would say That ---pause----S

just turn away...though I have been caught out by this when dropped my passport out my backpocket then tried to ignore the old bloke trying to give it back to me :hehe:

[Peter]

Apparently....

[Berni]

friendly and try to talk with you. :-(

You feel like saying: 'Listen mate, you are aware that we're going to be stuck next to one another for the next 10 hours, aren't you? At what point in that time do you think small talk is likely to run out? So, rather than reach that awkward phase when we're trying to find things to say to each other in an hour or so, how about you shut the f*ck up now and we get used to ignoring each other?'

I havent seen it myself as i dont use terminal 4.

No word of it on the heathrow site.

in your hand luggage, and argue with the security staff, as if they invented the rule themselves and have any power to just wave you through whilst the red flashing lights go off

Also, wait until they get to the conveyor belt before removing their jacket, keys, coins, liquids, laptop, boots, belt etc :fuming:

[Classic Jorge]

No matter how many mentos you stuff in the f**ker.

[PSRB]

were open, literally couldn't get everything ready quick enough, must have taken 5 minutes to check in and get through security and with a baby. wd Tenerife airport

[Classic Jorge]

Like some anachronistic, yellow tinted relic from a more innocent time.

You half expect to find people in blackface or shell shocked soldiers returning from the front to convalesce.

[Brentwood]

If it wasn't for the fact that the first thing everyone does is to go into WH Smiths or the bar to buy themselves and load of drinks for the flight ********FREE MONEY*********

:furious:

[Snin]

often rather good tbh.. jamies was ok at one..gordon ramseys at term 5 ok, cafe rouge if need be..or est est est or whatever..better to go to Micky D for breakfast than an airport wetherspoons...you got what you deserved imo

[Pat Vegas]

inside there very limited options.
and I didn't fancy Sushi for breakfast.

Also how come HSBC appear to have a world wide monopoly of having their name written all over airports?

[Classic Jorge]

People keep inviting me to them

[Maravilloso Marvo]

[Snin]

Bridge Bar and eating house

Frankie and benny - only ever been to one at the airport and though bad..better than the airport wetherspoons

[Snin]
