All the texting abbreviations kind of annoy me. I have no idea what half mean and I have to guess at the other half.

I have a fast forward button for that. 

 

 

On desktop I find that sponsorblock has most of what I want to see already tagged well. Just wish there was a way to get the xbox app and android TV to use it as well.

 

 

 

 

@richms - for android TV have a look at the smarttube youtube app.  This needs to be side loaded but it has sponsorblock integrated into it.

PLEASE PLACE YOUR BAGS IN THE BAGGING AREA AND TOUCH DONE
WHEN FINISHED

 

PLEASE SCAN YOUR FIRST ITEM

 

Only after that do you get the option to decrease the volume.

 

(To be fair, there may be an option before starting, but of course you don't know that it's set at a blow-your-eardrums-out level at that point, and you can't adjust it once you start.)

Broken IFE. I’m already wasting my Sunday travelling for work now there’s no screen to watch.

They’ve promised they’ll move me if they can’t fix it but it’s still annoying.

Headaches. I almost never get them. Maybe 1 a year. They suck when I get them though. No Rhyme or Reason.

The upside was I got moved to the front off the cabin. It helps when you’re first off an a380 in Munich. Passport control there can be a pain in the “all passports” line.

Then 45 minutes for my bag to come out. I’ve never had a good run with Munich airport.

Ugh, that doesn't inspire confidence, I land at 6am and then have 3 hours to get to the main station for my train, less 45-odd minutes for the S8 trip to the station. I was hoping that 2 hours to get through the airport would be enough...

You’ll be ok. I was through the airport in an hour. My flight was an hour late which also didn’t help.

Moths.

 

My dear old mum knitted lovely jumpers for my kids but they've come out of a drawer with holes in them. They're not repairable and not handmedownable either.

 

She'd spin in her grave if she knew that happened.
