So I got Lloyd Russell-Moyle and Ian Murray confused and it was the former that called the PLP a pack of cunts. I can only speculate that I confused them because Russell-Moyle reminds me of a scottish stand up comic.

Darth Walrus posted:Speaking of job stuff, anyone know any online coding courses that are reputable enough to put on a CV? I'm job-hunting, and people want some knowledge of HTML and CSS, but learning them in a classroom is an absolute pain. Depending what "some knowledge" means: If you can't find a course, one thing you could do is download "Instant WP" on to your computer, and using one of the freebie theme templates that comes with it, edit the css file with a text editor and do stuff like try and change background colour, font colour and generally mess around to find out how things work. (Source: me learning css) and also with a text editor write some basic webpages which if you save them as html files you can then open in your browser (I used to hand code all my webpages in HTML in the days before wordpress, css and so on). This is better than being in a classroom.

Today I learned that Dora the Explorer's full name is Dora Márquez and that Cheech Marin and Ricardo Montalbán both appeared as guest voices on the show. So today isn't a complete waste.

CoolCab posted:I am - wildly uncharacteristicly - with Tijuana on this one. I'll travel, a bit, particularly if I have to for work or similar, but I hate it. I think I've moved to a new place about as often as I've traveled somewhere new for pleasure. I love a good airport, me. It depends on my initial mood and the weather and of course the airport itself, but sitting in the departure lounge it feel like an other-worldly place and puts me in right weird - but not bad - mood. Can't describe it really, but i get the same feeling standing on a motorway bridge at 2am on a clear night When i die i wouldn't mind dying at an airport at the end of a holiday. It's me, I'm the complete weirdo

Airports are grim but i must admit I quite like the weird way that once you're through security they feel like these enclosed special places you're usually not allowed to be anywhere near where all normal rules are suspended and you can drink at 8am and pay a 30 quid flat fee to go sit in a posh room eating and drinking for free for hours. I don't know how people work in the environment, it always felt to me like that would sully the vibe of the place E: one of the coolest experiences I've had was having a ridiculous layover in Frankfurt, getting in at like 3am and not flying out till 2pm. I decided to splurge on the by the hour airport hotel because gently caress sitting on benches for 11 hours after a 10 hour flight where I didn't sleep. Absolutely amazing comfy bed, cheap beer in the vending machine, best shower I've experienced and the kicker was the window looked out right over the runway so I got to be a giddy kid again looking at planes ThomasPaine fucked around with this message at 11:54 on Jan 16, 2020 |

Most british airports don't have that many pubs in them anyway, to be honest. Lots of food places that will serve you alcohol, sure, but the pubs aren't as common.

Oh I don't much care, it's probably healthier, just an observation. Glasgow for example has 3/4 bars in the relatively small main departures bit but Shanghai had like 1 in a room 20x the size E: also we (not just in airports) have a weirdass ordering system in pubs, pretty much every other place I've been has been all table service even in cheap places ThomasPaine fucked around with this message at 12:46 on Jan 16, 2020 |

Nah, I don't really the like of being drunk on a plane. One pint maybe beforehand just to be civilised but no more than that. Instead, they should just sell tranquillisers at airports.

Right but with how sprawling it is you don't really get the same concentration of "shopping and recreation areas" like in say Heathrow. There's a fair few featureless hallways with maybe a single newsagents or something. e: are you kidding me why would you autocorrect "hallways" as "hall ways" Private Speech fucked around with this message at 12:38 on Jan 16, 2020 |

It's more like they had a single "European" token toilet, at least in the departures area, and not in all of them at that. I don't mind using them too much if I really have to, but looking for one I'm used to was definitely an annoying enough experience that I remember it. I also seem to remember you're from there so frankly I can't explain it. It's not been too long ago either. e: I think the arrivals and transfers are different in that, to be fair.

I was very surprised that in Shanghai, China's big showpiece city, it's still very rare to get sitting toilets outside of places specifically geared to cater to tourists/expats and super exclusive expensive places (there is a lot of overlap here). Squat toilets are fine I guess but even in otherwise nice restaurants/bars they were often loving filthy and didn't have any toilet paper (and I dare not poo poo in one anyway because my very out of shape legs would almost certainly see me fall backwards right in there)

I didn't realise squat toilets were a thing in Japan til I landed at Haneda airport and the first cubicle I stepped into was a squat toilet. Luckily they have Western-style toilets in most places too, although not so much in some the grimier nightclub spots we visited. As a woman, trying to use a squat toilet while wearing skinny jeans and being very, very drunk was a fairly harrowing experience.
