Not sure which has been more annoying over the past few days. Those who are genuinely annoyed about people perceived to be jumping the queue or those who have fell hook line and sinker for David Beckhams PR stunt.

Was is it a PR stunt with Beckham? Was he caught sneaking off to the Ritz only to return to the queue for a photo op?Trader Pat wrote: ↑Mon Sep 19, 2022 2:15 pmAfter today at least the world won't have to listen to people complaining about queue jumping.

I understand people being annoyed about it especially when some have queued overnight and longer but it's just the scale of the annoyance, OTT reaction online and even in the media.Emmson wrote: ↑Mon Sep 19, 2022 2:20 pmYou are annoyed at me then Pat, deffo on the 1st and maybe partly even the 2nd.Trader Pat wrote: ↑Mon Sep 19, 2022 2:15 pmAfter today at least the world won't have to listen to people complaining about queue jumping.

Beckham though is a brand and like other brands he's always on the lookout for how he can make himself look good. The bloke's been pimping himself and his family out for years. He of course didn't need to queue because of who he is but no, he wants to queue with the common folk to show just how like everybody else he is.
I can still remember the cringeworthy press conference when he signed for PSG. Falling over himself at the end of the presser to tell the world he would be donating his salary to the needy. I never understand why people in his position feel the need to tell the world about these gestures of 'good will' instead of just doing it and keeping it quiet. In the end it didn't cost him anything anyway considering he's an ambassador for the Qatari's world cup. Maybe another reason he queued with the common folk, because of the heat he's taking in some quarters for that role.
I'm sure enough crocodile tears were shed in Westminister Abbey to fill Shaun's garden pond but there were a lot of genuine mourners. I'd give Beckham the benefit of the doubt, he may have been genuine.Trader Pat wrote: ↑Mon Sep 19, 2022 2:30 pmBeckham though is a brand and like other brands he's always on the lookout for how he can make himself look good.

The sensible thing to do is keep quiet about it but make sure somebody else lets it out.Trader Pat wrote: ↑Mon Sep 19, 2022 2:30 pmI never understand why people in his position feel the need to tell the world about these gestures of 'good will' instead of just doing it and keeping it quiet.

I'm not questioning his tears just his reasons for queueing with the little people.Derek27 wrote: ↑Mon Sep 19, 2022 3:50 pmI'm sure enough crocodile tears were shed in Westminister Abbey to fill Shaun's garden pond but there were a lot of genuine mourners.

Not exactly sure what causes this but if I'm inactive for a long period but my laptop remains on. I get this recurring failed log in problem with Betfair that always ends up with me being locked out and I've not knowingly tried to log in.

Ran out of booze and cigs, I knew my paper shop, Sainsbury’s and off licence were closed so being clever went to the petrol station.
And that’s fcuking closed.

When are we allowed to hear major chords again? I'm so over all these sombre minor key progressions, it's not respectful it's just depressing.
Definitely unintentional, brain scrambled after the above.
The reason you gave for reporting it sort of gave it away

>> Are even the Tesco Expresses closed? I had a thought of visiting one of these later for a Chicken Korma.

Is there a 24hr pharmacy where you can get some patches? Nicotine on one arm and an alcohol wipe on the otherArchery1969 wrote: ↑Mon Sep 19, 2022 6:18 pmRan out of booze and cigs, I knew my paper shop, Sainsbury’s and off licence were closed so being clever went to the petrol station.
