Dull Men's Club - Celebrating the Ordinary

Where dull men – and women who appreciate
dull men – share thoughts and experiences about ordinary things

We don't get out much
It's OK to be dull
No matter where you go, there you are
Born to be mild
We're giving a good name to a four-letter word
We don't try to keep up with the Joneses (who are the Jonses, anyway?)
Go for glitz and glam?  Why?

queue likely 

We wish we could find a website or other facility that provides live information on queues — where they are and their size.

We can't fine one. The best we can do is a blog post of articles queuing at the London Olympics. We will be updating the report with our own research as well as content contributed by readers, about queuing at the London 2012 Olympics.

If queuing is a favorite pastime for you, as it is for many Brits, you can use these articles to find queues. If you want to avoid queues, you can find where to go.

  • I had to make a connecting flight in Milan Italy once. That airport experience left me with a big respect for proper queuing. I doubt the Italians could even muster up a queuing team. There was no queuing to be found at the Milan airport.

  • Please don't forget Lancashire and the Lancashire Games...
