Re: Aaand, In Other News...
So, this is apparently a thing:
$6,000

There has to be more to it than a room and 3 crap activities, surely. They specifically say it's a 2 day experience, which says to me it'll be part interactive theatre (like the ship is attacked and you have to defend it, with actors playing stormtroopers roaming the place). Even if that's the case, I'm not sure how anything could justify a $6000 price tag.
To be honest, I'm not sure how *any* holiday could justify that level of expense to someone with my income. A three month round-the-world trip, maybe. I don't think that this is designed for someone with my income though.

I can think of few things that would ruin a $6000 weekend break more than having drinks and conversation in the space bar interrupted by some amateur performer demanding attention while she wails out some godawful song at close quarters. I'd be longing for someone to break the tension with a lengthy, thunderous fart.

That is underwhelming to say the least, what a fucking rip off!

£20 a month for unlimited drinks - are they fucking nuts. That subscription will be wholly abused. That is not how to run a business.

It's been a thing for over a year now and they haven't gone bust yet.
I imagine that they may end up putting some form of restrictions on the amount you can have per day or week just to stop people taking the absolute piss. They were giving away the first month for free when it launched last year and I made pretty good use of it every couple of days before getting sick of the enormous queues of people. You couldn't just pop in for a sandwich because the place would be rammed with loads of people wanting free smoothies and coffees.

The mark up on coffee is insane basically, and most hot drinks, I believe it's all literal pennies. Can't comment on the cold drinks like smoothies although it's suspicious that those are the ones that go 'unavailable' eh?

Not just biscuits, pork too...pigs are being culled and incinerated now—that call for 800 butchers from abroad amounted to about 40 applications, so 150,000 pigs won't be going to market. We import pork from the EU to compensate...our welfare standards are the highest in the world...but count for nothing.

I have no words, other than the hope a very warm welcome awaits them "inside".
