Can anyone think of a reason why it would be more expensive to print a ticket out at home than pick it up at the venue or even have it mailed to you??

Corporate greed?
A total lack of regard for the consumer in an unregulated free enterprise environment?

When the revolution comes Ticketek will be among the first to the wall. Tumbrils will roll and you will "hear the people sing"

i keep thinking i smell either smoke (like cigarette smoke) or a kind of sour smell, but only faintly. i tried to walk around the apartment and most places it smells normal, it is mainly as i sit here by the computer. so i wonder what it is of if i am imagining things. i want to go to bed in a moment, and i don't like going to sleep when there are unexplained weird smells.

the person who very carefully, with multiple manoueveres, parked their work van 2 feet from the kerb and halfway into a bus stop before jumping out to buy lunch at the cheap bakery next to the bus stop.

What is the purpose of two young women, in matching bikinis emphasising very big boobs, at the weigh-in for a men's boxing match?

Yeah, I saw that on the news as well and it pissed me off.

What is the purpose of two young women, in matching bikinis emphasising very big boobs, at the weigh-in for a men's boxing match? A little while ago there were various stories (news / discussion phone-ins etc) about walk-on girls. I think it was something to do with formula 1, maybe? And it was quite interesting finding out what some of them did as part of their job (apart from looking pretty in cliche'd outfits). But yes, on the face of it, rather 1970s.

What exactly did they do? I forget now exactly, to do with knowing who had to be where and when and being nice to everyone I think. BBC article about the whole story here. I get the impression the roles they had differed from sport to sport.

We have that in some bits of the house - finding its way in from next door somehow. We're never quite sure if / how we should mention it to the neighbours that side, who are generally very nice.
