I have dodged so many viruses in recent weeks but I have finally succumbed.
I’m cold, somebody hold me 
Festive Cheer
erik sounds like actual flu that like mate.
NasserAlazzawi yep, apparently so. What’s what 111 told me
Always though the flu was a joke tbf, can see why it kills people now
Some of us have done 3 consecutive days on the smash and are still going strong.
We go again lads!
Just three? Post the pic.
Had some great festive cheer today when my flight to Beijing was two hours late leaving Manchester.
Got to witness a load of Bolton scrotes flipping out at Beijing border control because they were going to miss a connection to Thailand (they had to cross the border / collect bags because they were transferring from T2 to T3).
Now normally I wouldn’t cheer such misfortunate but they were a pain in the arse all flight (they were necking duty free and generally being loud cunts on the front row of economy, while I was on the back row of business) so fuck ’em.
Lounge review: Escape Manchester. WANK apart from self-assembled bacon rolls.
bosstrabs Manchester is a fucking awful airport.
Also, the beauty of seeing people flip out in China is the Chinese just pretend to not understand a word the foreigner is saying.
Until such time that the foreigner takes it completely over the top, and just gets arrested.
Along_the_Wire Agreed. Got a load of jip from some overbearing armed police there once.
They could not comprehend that I was perhaps more interested in tending to the patient on life support in the plane than immediately giving them my passport. I have flown out of there maybe once. No desire to go back

Mad_Cyril As above, it’s the standard Business Class lounge for a lot of airlines.
Typically ones that don’t have a serious presence at Manchester e.g. Chinese airlines.
Loads of bellends with Turkey Teeth lined up waiting to pay to get in.
Do I pay with my own money? Yes and no, in a way. My employer reimburses up to £1600 for a trip home twice a year. My ticket back for Christmas was £2100 round trip, so I did add £500 of my own coin.
Mad_Cyril There isn’t really a proper lounge in T3 anymore - the BA one was very poor and now there’s one that even worse a version of the Escape lounge. Hopefully, I won’t need to use it, although, I need to get a couple of hundred tier points before the end of March to retain gold, so might need a tier run or two.

T3 is a shithole , bottom of the pond. uk flights and budget airlines only.
Would rather get the train. Or sail

Do like how in the festive cheer thread we’re now talking about lounges.
