[quote=“Fagan ODowd, post: 844011, member: 706”]What a surprise. The other globe trotting innocent jumps in.

I never said it was better in my day. It wasn’t. I was just chortling at the notion that a gom who ordered a burger in a Gordon Ramsay restaurant thought that he had made a big impression. I’d say he made an impression alright.[/quote]

Maybe @briantinnion was luring the client into a trap? Or maybe he’s very just fond of the burger? Either way, your were guaranteed to find fault. You wear Wrangler jeans.

Badly rattled.

Any individuals travelling a lot and getting paid into a UK account could do worse than open a Barclays Premier Life account. As well as numerous other perks it also provides you with an Airport Angel membership which allows you complimentary access to a multitude of lounges across the globe.

Just be careful of their beer maximums in some of the UK airports.

Badly rattled.

The first person to resort to the tired “badly rattled” or “stage [x] rattled” terms is invariably rattled. You’re fairly rattled, I’d say.

We have some clients over from Japan for the last 3 days-I think I will take them down to the chipper in Blackrock tomorrow for a cod and chips.

Just take them drinking. japs love to go drinking.

Yeah. “Fetch me the weights for the trial balance there Brian.”

@Fagan ODowd has played a stormer in the last few posts and made fools of his opponents.

Rib fucking burger from the self professed sophisticated jet setter.

:rolleyes:

I still wouldn’t dare get in a car with ODowd driving though.

Did you get back safely from The Netherlands?

@TreatyStones

I’d say the brits got a great laugh out of the thick paddy looking for a burger and probably “red sauce” for his chips.

Tinnion doesn’t even eat ketchup. He has to mix it with mayonaisse to give ‘pink sauce’.

High Flying Businessman @briantinnion enjoys a slap-up meal

It’s funny all the lads here getting all excited about getting a free meal in a decent restaurant and thinking it’s a massive treat. I do my own thing.

Disappointed with @farmerinthecity here. He’s trying to get back at me as I (justifiably) pulled him up on a few things over the last few days.

Back to business on this thread anyway, my top tips for day trips to London are as follows:

1. Drive to the airport and use the short term parking facilities. (Don’t forget to book your parking at least the day before). Queuing for a taxi is a pain in the arse.
2. Buy a pass for the fast track security line at Dublin airport.
3. Check in early and choose a seat near the front of the plane.

Those three tips should save at least 30 mins each side of your trip.

Best

Its a terribly MBB thing to do alright.

The fast track lane at security has been fairly clogged up with travelers paying their way through recently. This facility should be reserved for gold circle members only

@briantinnion

Wonderful lunch in one of Gordon Ramsey’s establishments. Now awaiting departure of my return flight at LCY. Should be back behind my desk and ready for a night’s work at 5pm.

That sounds truly fucking horrible pal.

Just back from a week in Stevenage. As you are imagining, Stevenage is a shithole. The local football team didn’t have a midweek game and with Luton playing away I couldn’t even fit in a match to pass an evening by. Glad to be home.

Bringing up someone not already into the conversation because of a battering elsewhere on the form?

Badly rattled.

This is ‘airport genie’ we are talking about here right?

You’re the one that brought it up kid. Did you agree to go for a drink with the steward that was chatting you up on the flight to America?

It used to be beautiful as the diplomatic channel before they let you business plebs into it.
