CNN Travel ‘the media that just keeps on giving’

Inflight ‘raw dogging’: The bizarre new travel trend that’s creating a buzz

Stop sniggering at the back, it’s not what your, over fertive imagination, is conjuring up.

Michael Ceely once spent a four-hour flight just zoning out – no magazines, no movies, no podcasts, just looking out the window and watching the flight map. Branding it with Bro speak ‘raw dogging’ makes the challenge more acceptable.

The trend has been popular on social media, with TikTok users one-upping each other for who has gone the longest stretch with the fewest amenities. A British DJ with the handle oiwudini got 1.3 million likes on a video where he bragged about traveling on a seven-hour flight without headphones, sleep or other creature comforts.

FFS, back in the day it was called, doing SFA; nobody cared.

Been out for a posh pub lunch today at such and such Hall and several men wore shorts. Not only slovenly but also stupid as it's only 15c here, rainy and windy. It's as if these adults can't adjust to the change in temps. I mean two days ago it was 26c so they've only had 48 hrs to acclimatise and dress appropriately.
I will not wear shorts, because, there are only two groups of males that should be allowed to wear them: young school boys and people engaging in sports. Since I'm not a young school boy, or running around kicking a ball, I do not possess any.
What do you wear at the beach or swimming pool?

I must be getting old, because I'm starting to be annoyed by the "power dressing" of people on TV. The other night, Nottingham Trent debate, Kier wore a suit with red tie, and Rishi wore a suit with blue tie. omg

I'm starting to like the Ukrainian president's style. Green sweat shirt. Everywhere. Don't think it's been washed for 2 years, but it really doesn't matter. He's doing a great job in the face of a dictator who's trying to wipe out his country.
Damn right !

You appear to have conflated being fully immersed in water with sitting inside a pub.

The inability of Americans to say Moscow. Instead they say two mispronounced and distinctly seperate words that bear no resemblance to either English, anything Eurasian, or Russian.

The obsession the media seem to have with Andy Murray and whether he'll be fit or not for Wimbledon where we know he'll get knocked out early and then start talking about retiring (again) due to fitness issues.

The Netflix app on my phone turns on closed captioning every time I go back into it or switch between two things I'm watching. So everytime I have to pause it, go to the subtitles and turn them on (because they show as off even though their on the screen), play, pause, back in to the settings and turn them off.

Every. Single. Time.

I always thought they said 'Meee Lan' and 'Nodurr Dame'. It's actually took me quite a few years after hearing it first to realise they meant Notre Dame.

I think they say both, it depends on the area in America they're from I think.

Someone on here complained about Microsoft products recently (we probably all have at some point).

Today, for an inexplicable reason:

  • Microsoft sounds have no turned on so I get stupid noises each time something happens - turned it back off
  • Teams has updated overnight, and notifications is now on, with sounds and popups of incoming messages
  • Outlook has deleted my signature
  • I changed my password and then couldn't log back in, had to "reset password as I forgot it" even though I didn't
Arghhhhh. I also know there's other things changed which I've yet to discover.

I haven't had a system update or had to restart, nothing like that. Just happened overnight seemingly.
