I bet that was the same person who did the same thing to someone on a yahoo group I'm on - they posted a similar message.

No, no. On a bus yahoo group, someone with a hotmail address posted something similar because they were hacked

Everybody hates travelodges

Holiday Inn Express in Lichfield is terrible. Was there for one night, as I was in Lichfield for a funeral. I had to move room, as there was a terrible smell coming from the bathroom, The key cards didn't work when I used them, the beds were uncomfortable, there was internet there but cost you £1 for 5 mins, no dinner and lunch, drinks cost loads from the drinks machine which is free at breakfast, the lift was out of order, none of the staff were very happy and the televisions in the rooms cost money, even if you were watching BBC1/BBC2/ITV/Channel 4.

I'm not sure about any others though

Yeah doesn't seem that long ago mind you. But the little Chef was so much cooler when you were 7

Something just annoyed me now. Mum signs on MSN (yeah, I mean WTF?!) and asks if I can get her fags out the car as she is ready for bed. I think yeah, I'm a good chap so I agree to it. I know it's freezing outside but it's only just outside the door.

That's when I find out the car is parked two roads down, and my shirt isn't exactly coat-thick...

Always though Uddingston was Sky :lol: or is that Livingston ;)

Its Livingston John
:p
But I still think the service has got worse since the name change far more outages & drop outs in service plus the fact that it now cost An Arm & a Leg to report a fault & they never admit its at their end Its always "Your PC" Strange how if you leave it for an hour or three it starts working again .

& we only every had one "Little Chef" here in N.Ireland it was based in Belfast Central Station & it had all the success of lead Bloon in flight & shut & reopened with a franchise change , It was too blooming expensive full "Ulster Frywas about £7 & it had all been prepared about 3 hours earlier , Little Café outside the station does Freshly Cooked UF for Approx. £3:99inc Cuppa no guessing why we did not warm to the Little Chef

New thing for today - Some junkie at Glasgow Central came up to my friend and I, asking for 75p to get to Blantyre, and my friend actually gave him £1 :o!! Then he asks for more so my friend gave him all his change. I hate junkies they're absolute scum!

Here's one. Got to Euston station today from London Underground, went upto the main concourse, and found a train leaving in about 3 mins. Got to platform 16, and as I was halfway down the ramp to the platform, the doors closed. Ok, missed that one, but there was another one, in 2 mins at platform 10, again, got through the ticket barriers, then the doors closed. Got ****** off by then. Then had to wait half an hour before the next train left.
