Mock the Week is a British topical celebrity panel game hosted by Dara Ó Briain. The game is influenced by improvised topical stand-up comedy, with several rounds requiring players to deliver answers on unexpected subjects on the spur of the moment.[citation needed]
It is made by independent production company Angst Productions and made its debut on BBC Two on 5 June 2005. It was created by Dan Patterson and Mark Leveson, the same people responsible for the comedy game show Whose Line Is It Anyway?[2] The show's theme music is "News of the World" by The Jam.[3]
Old episodes currently air on Dave, a fact that is frequently mentioned on the show. Episodes regularly attract 3.5 million viewers.[4]

40 minutes wait on the tarmac at Heathrow for a bus to take us to the terminal. Now standing in a half-hour queue for border checking whatnot. My suitcase will be dizzy by the time I get through.

Facing the grim prospect of eating at Chili's twice in the same day.
Tempted to start smoking cigars as Kuwaiti duty free is unsurprisingly not big on alcohol.

Going with FlyDubai, the local Easyjet equivalent. Their in flight magazine has lots of tips for up and coming tourist destinations they fly to, including Kabul, Sana'a and Baghdad.

when the senile king and his (supposedly) 30 yr old son get gently shuffled aside shortly then sana'a will go back to being a viable tourist destination for those who prefer their bombs improvised rather than laser guided

Yes, it looks fascinating but, as the wikitravel page notes, does carry an ever present risk of getting beheaded on video.

The only available outlet I could find during my 4 hour Sea-Tac layover requires me to sit in the tiny space underneath the arrival / departure sign in the N terminal so every once in a while I get a mass of people congregating in front of me and staring above me.

Second-longest security queue of my life at JFK.

fyi the smoked meat poutine at Lester's Deli in the Montreal airport is gross, do not eat it.

40 minutes or so. Halfway through they had a little station to check your passport and boarding pass, then continue queuing.
BTW by the end of this, it had taken me about six hours to fly from Toronto to London, and then three hours to get from landing to the house in north London I was staying in.

also I went to Stansted for the first time a few weeks ago, but due to a bout of diarrhoea (not mine) and a suicide (also not mine) ended up leaving the airport and renting a car and driving to another country.

Forty minutes is one of your longest? Are you including going through Customs, or just your run-of-the-mill metal x-ray deal?
Forty minutes seems about right, from my past experiences. Granted, I was sweating it out because of all my Kinder Surprises stocked with ninja stars inside, but still.

My only experience of JFK was a 45 minute wait followed by an hour-long security interview, so could be worse.
All British airports are terrible in September / early October as you have a lot of new students coming for the start of term and getting the third, fourth and fifth degree from the immigration goons. I think i landed at Stansted at midnight last autumn and cleared the immigration queue at 2am.
― Al Ain Delon (ShariVari), Wednesday, 28 October 2015 09:04 (eight years ago) link
ugh even the Eurostar terminal at the Gare du Nord this weekend was like that, British immigration taking 15 minutes with one American kid who'd been in Paris for the weekend with his parents. stuck behind him I heard the whole spiel.

At LAX. Got a $75 overweight fee (for three suits I bought for jobhunting at the other end of the flight) and have been put in a middle seat for 15 hours of flying to a city currently under tornado warning.

There are cats roaming about beyond the immigration point at Dhaka airport. I am significantly less annoyed about a delayed flight than i would otherwise have been. This is something other airports might want to look in to.

They're incredibly boisterous - knocking over bins, leaping off the back of seats, etc - and nobody seems to have a problem with them.

I'd enjoy the airport if it were full of rambunctious cats

most surreal airport experience i've had was at los cabos.. bats flying around, clipping unphased employees heads... giant moths/butterflies perching on luggage...

Bleah. Diverted right as we were about to land, delayed two hours, now I don't get back til 7 hours later.
Yay holiday travel.

SEATAC = best airport. The buskers, the cheese store, the light rail, the kinetic art, etc. Good bookstore down by terminal A. ILXORS on the shelf in the Sub Pop store.

Coffee at Beechers / Cafe Vita, breakfast sandwich, ellenos yogurt. browse through Sub Pop, stroll to gate. Every time.

My small local airport only flys to Seatac so I've been there a ton in the last decade (and yet have never walked out the front door as I'm always connecting). It used to feel kind of amazing to me compared to other airports but I feel like it's been a while since its been remodeled and parts are starting to feel kind of run down and shitty. Part of this might also be that beers in other airports are novel and exotic now and Seatac only seems to have regional standards that I'm bored of. And in MSP and DEN you can roam around with a beer in some of the terminals which is great when you're trying to let a toddler run around burn off energy.
But breakfast at Anthony's, sandwiches and coffee at Beechers, noodles and a beer at Waji, the the awesome horror of the children's play area, the pearl jam poster exhibit (r.i.p. last time I was there), and Sub Pop are all awesome.

trying to navigate Seatac and find the exit felt like being stuck in House of Leaves

we kind of based our holiday destination around what was cheaply available from this airport, that is how much I love using this airport
full english breakfast for £16.95 the obvious drawback, fortunately there's a caffè nero

At London City for the first time because all the flights to Milan from proper airports were booked. If this happens again, I'm going by boat.
It is a terrible airport but, unfortunately, extremely convenient for Kent.

flew from Sydney to Los Angeles via Melbourne (bcz it was $900 cheaper) yesterday. Spent longer in LAX than in the two departure airports combined. A++, would be detained by CBP for hours again. Gonna suggest on Yelp that they turn down the volume on their multiple TVs showing The Game Shows Hosted By Former Cast Members Of The US Version Of Whose Line Is It Anyway? Channel though.
'Bout an hour done pass / Done watch two episodes of M*A*S*H
