I finally read your OP.

I think it's pretty ridiculous to have people wait in an online queue for hours just to find that the price has went up. Generally with flights they're more expensive the closer the time to take off, if obviously the flight has already sold tickets. It makes sense with flights, they're not always full and the airline want to avoid making a loss. Oasis were never going to make a loss, in fact it was certain all of their gigs were going to be sold out.

I think whoever made the decision for the price hike due to demand made a mistake.

It's similar to booking at Airbnb, request the booking then get a message back saying that electrically is going to cost $25 extra... It's not mentioned anywhere on the listing. I doubt when people joined the queue it said anything about the tickets potencialy doubling in price.

People don't agree with Rusty's did you know thread, does that 'belong' in debates?

Dives target audience for this thread clearly post in the general forum, not the policial nut jobs in debates.
Political arguments belong in Debates.

Government subsidized strippers... That clearly went over your head as most humor does.
No such thing.

Did Kier Starmer REALLY slip up during his first PM conference speech by saying Israeli sausages when he meant Israeli Hostages?
It popped up in my youtube feed - I just can’t bring myself to watch it. I can’t think of a more dreadful Freudian slip 🫤



Er ok …. didn’t sound quite so bad as he didn’t include Israeli - and I guess it was nearing lunchtime?

The comments are worth a look.

I saw that a few days ago and he corrected himself almost immediately, which is good. I have seen cases where people are totally oblivious and continue chatting as if nothing happened.

Recently one woman said " Im going to go change my life and spread my legs .... ". Someone corrected her ".. you mean wings". Oh yes, sorry.

In Starmers case he was probably hungry, and this woman was ..........

In another reel, this fat woman was answering questions. The question was " What was your biggest mistake?" She answered "My biggest beefsteak was ... " Only when people started laughing she stopped answering. Clearly she has a good appetite.

At 20 I had an older boss who said sex instead of cheques while discussing the payment of invoices with me.
He’d been glancing at my chest the moment before. He got a bit flustered when I smirked saying ‘Anyone can make a mistake’ 🫤

Well chances are good that it was deliberate, and creepy as well.

The government promised to "look" into the situation.

That's it.

They didn't threaten any action or even imply what they may do. They just said they'd "look".

This equals "nanny state" to you?
