Politicians’ reward is in rapine and pillage, the salary is irrelevant.
That could be as high as £399!
Basic salary of Scotland's First Minister - £157,861 plus expenses.

Luxury hotels pitch themselves as places to relax, chill etc but stop serving breakfast by 9am......if I'm away without kids for a nice relax I want full on breakfast in restaurant I've paid for not some crappy tray with croissants and cold toast.

What do they serve after 9am? Lunch?
Not at luxury hotels but it is always surprising how people overload their plates at a breakfast buffet and then waste half of it.
I usually go early with my family at 7am before the general public arrive.
Why folks doing "dangerous" sports expect free rescues and free NHS treatment when it all goes Ti*s up!
Pregnant people
People that get up before 7am on holiday and force their family to go to breakfast…
I suppose it's swings and roundabouts, as sporty people are probably less likely to want free treatment for heart disease, diabetes etc.
How far do you take it? Should those people that get drunk for fun (i.e. fun) then fall down the stairs and need treatment, not get treatment? Versus say a motorsport driver in an FIA approved roll cage with helmet, fire suit, hans device, marshals, run off areas etc etc, should they not get treatment because Motorsport is dangerous? (Being devils advocate, not a troll)
I would suggest organised motorsports events should include or require medical insurance.
It's just a matter of time...
The pile it high brigade especially on holiday seem to be American in my experience, all food groups thrown together, unaware of the concept of multiple visits.
7am breakfast is a joy, quiet & then chill around the pool with a rum latte & a book before the day starts fully.People that get up before 7am on holiday and force their family to go to breakfast…
Anytime I manage a 7am breakfast in a hotel, the eggs have been on since 5.
I used to travel around the UK and, thanks to a fairly loose travel policy, booked my accommodation via the Good Beer Guide. Most places cooked a breakfast to order.
In the Sotadic Zone, apparently.
Why people like Nando’s.
With two young children who wake up early, an early breakfast is a more relaxed breakfast as there is no requirement to rush. The rush starts as you walk into the headache that is Legoland or Peppa Pig World.People that get up before 7am on holiday and force their family to go to breakfast…
Volunteers for major events - F1, Olympics, Football World Cup, it's a multi billion pound industry, pay them.
Always order poached, those ‘fried’ things that were once eggs sitting under a hot lamp for hours are the most awful things to come from any kitchen.
Imagine if ‘lord Coe’ had it suggested that he ‘volunteer’………….

May I present the evidence for the turkey twizzlers, M'lud? Quite clearly the most fiendish item yet concocted by the kitchen staff of otherwise sane establishments.
I am yet to taste said product, but feel I have not really deprived my taste buds.
No kitchen and a watery microwave Finest (allegedly) chicken jalfrezi for dinner actually makes said twizzlers sound appetising.
I’m starving & should have just gone out for a curry. Oh well, 4 weeks and 3 days left. This is the end of day 2, I’m no fairing well.
Sporty I can cope with. It's the downright dangerous thrill seekers that annoy me! "He broke his leg, base jumping!!!" Just stick your fingers in a plug why don't you?
By the same token you'd need to treat smokers and morbidly obese people the same.

It’s always easy to judge others’ hobbies, activities and vices. There is some danger in all things and very few are truly vital. It’s worth remembering that there are people who aren’t interested in your preferred pastimes, don’t participate in your vices and would be quite willing to ban them. IMO it’s a slippery slope and would be best to just live and let live.
I don’t understand the need to be so judgmental.
Quite right Possu. The risk in our hobby is divorce. Much more risky than extreme sports.

People who think its OK to swear in conversation while in public (Walking down the street, in supermarkets etc) Why would you think anyone wants to hear that especially with children about?
Agree. I went to one once and was hugely underwhelmed.
That’s funny
People who open a closed door to ask something and then walk off leaving the door open.
People who hold a door open for you when you're still about 50 feet away thus making you scurry to get there quickly. I know they're just being nice, but.....

When you're waiting to pull out of a junction, you can see a line of cars and then after last car there is nothing at all as far as you can see. So you get ready to swing out behind the last car in the chain, then the last car slows down to let you out. Then you and the person seemingly letting you out do the dance of will they won't they.....why doesn't that last car just look in their mirror.
And while I'm on driving, people who brake at random when you are following them (at a safe distance before anyone says tailgating!)
Small backpacking hatchets
Why people who can't drive and only ever look straight ahead (even when changing lanes or turning!!) all drive Nissan Micras.
…and drivers on a main carriageway who brake & flash or wave to let another driver out at a t junction when they are the second last vehicle in a line, me being the last with no other vehicle behind me as far as the eye can see! Inconsiderate.
Driving on M40 at a reasonable 60mph as I was not in a rush, a car pulled out from the hard shoulder totally oblivious to the fact everyone is not driving at a crawling pace. Unbelievable.
I think it was a micra.
Spitting in public ( or anywhere really) disgusting behaviour.

This!
During my motorcycle training one of the pieces of advice was "If there's a Nissan Micra, all bets are off. Doesn't matter if you do 100mph, just go wide and get ahead of them."
People who think that 'going to the gym' constitutes excercise. You need to actually do something when you are there.
People who leave three pairs of shoes in the doorway to the living room..................
Why a driver and front seat passenger have to look at each other face to face when talking and the car is moving…..followed so many over the years lethal….
Usually a Micra
Non verbal communication is anchored in us much deeper than driving.Why a driver and front seat passenger have to look at each other face to face when talking and the car is moving…..followed so many over the years lethal….

I can’t think of a reason for the Micra, though…
