Didn’t think of that tbh. I’m gonna try that then as we do have a stadium tour booked in a few days before the game. Cheers.

There was talk about booking fees in here the other day. I’m going to Lisbon in a couple of weeks and while I’m there, Benfica are playing Nice in a champions league qualifier. Thought I’d try and get tickets. £45 each. That’s fine. £33 booking fee! And then a £4 service fee on top of that.

I’ll find a locals bar instead. 

Ouch. Would deffo recommend going if you can find a better deal/on the day even if it's for an away end. I've done Sporting in the past with the wife's family and the atmosphere was ace. Yet to do Benfica (one half of her family supports Sporting, the other Benfica. Every family gettogether is carnage) but it looks the business. 

I found the standard to be mixed - I saw Sporting beat Estoril 4-2 - Sporting scored some tidy goals, but Estoril were probably the worst team I've ever seen since watching Skegness on a family holiday when I was six.

Manager at work has just gone on holiday to Turkey. She says “we went to Tunisia last year, wouldn’t go again though, there were too many foreigners staying in the hotel.” 
 

Didn’t know Tracy was Tunisian tbh. 

[DavidB6937]

Bloody foreigners taking over other countries.

[deathrey]

I'm sure the Turkish hotel will be full of Turkish people 

[JLM]

They’ll be building mosques in Tunisia next.

I use a free version of Spotify to only listen to podcasts because podcasts were something the app allowed you to listen to free AND offline. Now it appears I can't play them offline and if that's become a premium feature that is really irritating. Very first world problems and it's Spotify, I'm aware they're awful.

I've probably mentioned it before, but "2025 anyone?" style comments on music videos on YouTube. Just fuck off, millions of people are also listening to this song from 15 years ago, you're not special. 

Also, people who don't put the next customer divider thing after their shopping. Probably mentioned that before too, but it still gets to me.

I'm so fussy about this that I'll grab one from the next checkout if there's none left on the one I'm at.

The opening thread on packets of biscuits being about four biscuits deep and having no way to close it.

When that doesn't work, the seal on a packet of biscuits is a Krypton Factor challenge. In the event you do eventually unstick it, about 4mm of plastic comes away at a time.

I normally just get a knife and cut through the packet.

Minor annoyance - Cutting open a packet of biscuits and going right through the middle of a custard cream.

[DavidB6937]

When a biscuit is broken at the end of the packet when you open it and crumbs go everywhere.

I should obviously be more patient and careful but I just want the biscuit damnit.

Worse is when about 10 biscuits are broken in pack, so you know it was dropped at some point in its journey to you.
