The Dull Men's Club


I have in the past been accused of being boring. I've got broad shoulders and can take the criticism even if I felt it was a little harsh. But maybe, just maybe, they were right. I've just subscribed to this site The Dull Men's Club which I think is so quirky and funny.
The first article I came across concerns the direction of travel of luggage carousels around the world. How cool is that?

    Don't you just hate it when you press the publish button by mistake.......

    Fascinating.

    I didn't make it to the end of the list, though.

    I am however reminded of a skiing trip to Italy. We were one of three flights to land at Turin airport within a very short time and the baggage reclaim hall was about the size of a large garden shed, but with three baggage carousels and was therefore extremely crowded. As the first flight started to scramble over each other to collect their suitcases, skis and boot bags from the middle carousel, an announcement was made that the other two outside carousels had been miscalled and would all passengers collecting luggage from London and Glasgow please change ends.

    It made the average rugby international final look like a tea party in the village hall.

      The reason you didn't make it to the end of of the list is because you are not dull enough and not a man.

    I'm proud to say that I checked a few airports I've frequented frequently and realized that I didn't remember which way the carousel went, and I didn't care!
    Such freedom!

      For using the term frequented frequently I would agree that I should be banned for life!

      Is this what you call multitasking?
