Queueing....., by anthoz on Apr 16, 2008 13:53:12 GMT 1, I just had an interesting thought when reading the thread about the queue for the Walker show tomorrow (which incidentally is mental if people are already there)
We are all willing to queue for something, each one of us has different priorities so i want to hear your stories.
When i was 15 i queued to meet david hasselhof in his days of nightrider glory!!!! I would love to hear all of your funny, sad and downright embarassing stories about queueing.
Look at it this way, its more interesting than a thread that says.....6 people in the nick walker queue.....ohh now theres 9 etc etc
;D

Queueing....., by manchestermike on Apr 16, 2008 13:59:04 GMT 1, I've not queued for much, I hate queueing...
I have queued at places like theme parks... apart from that not much really... I queued for about 5 or 6 hours to pick up my (already paid for) Sonar tickets the year before last... I think that's the longest ever.
The worst sort of queues are those outside pubs / bars... I can understand outside clubs if there is a night you want to go to, but outside bars? Just go to another fucking bar... idiots

On a lighter note I once queued up to get the Rebel MC's autograph. It was pre Ebay days!

Queueing....., by pezlow on Apr 16, 2008 14:05:57 GMT 1, I queue approximately 24 hours each year (for the last 7 years anyway) for RCA secret. It's in late November as well.
I love it though - great bunch of people in the queue, a couple of whom are now mates of mine. Lots of art talk and the greatest thrill going when you get to the front of the queue.
I wouldn't queue for longer than 3 or 4 hours to buy a print though.

Ouch
I nearly got battered by a load of Welsh blokes at Knebworth for hurling abuse at the Manics for their entire set ;D
Thought of another queue, the Neate queue at his last show for the prints, that was about 3 hours, but it was tempered by good company and very strong and free cocktails.
I'd possibly queue for the RCA Pez, I think it's fantastic

I queued for 5 hours for my Eurostar back from the Alps in January. They spend millions this end on St Pancras, the other side its just a wooden shed for a station, and one 70 year old bloke putting over a 1000 skiers/boarders equipment and luggage through the one security scanner.
I also paid ยฃ200 for an earlier train home which left about an hour before my original one.
Wasn't happy...

I hope so! they close the blinds in between for a few minutes to 'freshen up'.. i figure I was 3-4 deep at that time..
I also queued at the Dr.'s office a few weeks later when I had this burning sensation and discolored discharge dripping from my little friend...

I thought the Swedish Government Monopoly was disbanded about 10 years ago? A whole load of Claret was released and bought by English wine-warehouses. I was drinking 10 year old Claret at ยฃ4 a bottle - my father bought 10 cases of the stuff and we were all happy with the Swedish Government. Must have been a mistake. Hope they don't want the wine back.

Needless to say we didn't.
Thankfully got a GIWTBB after pegging it to an internet cafe! Made the trip sort of worth while!

Everything bad use to have a good side and the good thing with the monopoly, yes itยดs still going on, is that you get quality and to a rather low cost. I can almost asure you that you will never find a bad bottle of wine or whatever at a swedish "systembolag". That compared to Denmark... if you leave denmark with a bottle of descent wine you are a lucky guy! (talking out of experience...)
If you ever visit Sweden donยดt miss out an inspection of our monopoly. It could be worth it. Itยดs not tax free but you can find high quality single malts at really nice prices. Maybe even cheaper than in Scotland!
