Re: Time for a Christmas thread?
) have all been trouble free luggage wise and in many cases by the time we got to the luggage carousel, our suitcases were already there. It seems like the backlog is now in customs and while passengers are snaking their way through customs to see the customs people, the luggage is quickly making its way through the airport on conveyor belts.The best example was Zurich which considering it is in Switzerland, the efficiency of it shouldn't have surprised me.

Black gay santa in a same sex mixed race marriage, from one of the Stephen Colbert Late Show writers. I'm having a real laugh over how twisted some people must be getting over this.

Re: Time for a Christmas thread?
Where I worked in the NHS we were out of site of patients, so got no tips. Some of the doctors would give us gifts, mainly either bottles of cheap sherry of cigarettes, this practice was stopped. One year I had cause to visit the maternity ward to take blood from a new born, and the sister in charge of the ward did give me a bottle of stout, they gave them routinely to help new mothers to produce milk, luckily it didn't work for me.

If I’d given a gift to everyone in the hospital who’d helped/ptovided a service for me it would have bankrupted me.

When Wizzard sang "I wish it could be Christmas every day" I bet that cad didn't have an HID dragging you around the shops with a hangover trying to find a parking space in a shopping centre car park for half a naffing hour.
