S'better than Paris
Nice place to spend a weekend, shit place to live or work.

Paris is the shittest place in all the world
Had the unfortunate pleasure of being in Charles De Gaulle airport on Friday.

Dirty, stinking, disorganised, toilet of a place.

On a lighter note
Was returning the rental car, and I jumped in front of this Merkin couple who were farting about unpacking luggage.

The guy says to his wife, "Thats typical of these French ignorant bastards. Just jump in front of everyone not giving a damn about manners. What a fucking impolite clown"

So I dont say a word, until I hear him say to his wife, "How do we get to Terminal 2B". I, calm as you like, say "You follow that underpass over there and go up the stairs"

His face was a picture.

my firm once sent me to london to give a course
it was entitled:

"how to say thank you and be friendly, you miserable southern twats". they couldn't grasp the concept at all.

Scottish bus driver was rude to me today
for asking how much a day ticket was.
(, Mon 11 Jul 2005, 15:48, archived)
You're lucky you weren't in London.
He'd have shot you in the face.

Seriously, I know it's not the most wonderful job in the world, but is an application requirement that every London busdriver has to a psychotically rude, unhelpful jobsworth? I've had a driver turn me away because he couldn't (or wouldn't) change a fiver. Twat.
Every so often you get one who's helpful or friendly or even just basically polite and you almost faint.
Sorry, rant over.
(, Mon 11 Jul 2005, 15:53, archived)
in birmingham
it's exact change only. So if you've only got a fiver then you either get no change or don't get on.

edit: actually they probably wouldn't take a fiver, coinage only.
(, Mon 11 Jul 2005, 15:56, archived)
so the rationale is:
english sterling but no change: no entry
Correct change and fucking big bomb: climb aboard
(, Mon 11 Jul 2005, 16:00, archived)
On most routes in London you have to buy the ticket before you get on.
Exact money only, of course.
Until a couple of years ago it was 70p for a journey within or without Zone 1, 1 quid if you entered or left Zone 1. Then they had this big advertising campaign saying 'London is now a one-fare city!', as if they were making it easier for you. Except thet just made ALL journeys 1 quid.
And now it's a quid and 20p.

I think the lesson we can learn from this is that buses are shit.
(, Mon 11 Jul 2005, 16:00, archived)
Buses in London are phenomenally shit
The tube is much more likely to get you killed quicker.

Actually I find walking is the best way to get anywhere less than 5 miles away in London.

There's always destitutes to laugh at on your way.

Common mistake there
Not all Southerners are Londoners.

London is not the entire south of England.

There are people in Cornwall and Dorset who are just as shit thick and inbred and prone to sheep molestation as any Northerner.

So my gripe
I regularly fly through Heathrow and I think I can count on one hand how many people who work there are actually English. (and when I mean English, I'm talking about who can speak English and have been born in England)

Yes.
They are simply misunderstood chaps who are highly sensitive to issues of aesthetics particularly in architechture and inner city planning.
They were just trying to 're-model' things to stop their eyes hurting.
Unfortunately, they got a bit heavy handed.
