What would you queue nine hours for?

[3rdOfHisNameBreakerOfPens]

I'll start.

A discontinued Ginsters sandwich.(Double cheese and crack I believe)
A new Harry Potter novel written by JK Rowling herself and not co written by awful fanfiction Wannabees.
The elixir of life.
A comfortable bike seat.
An chance to play chess with the Grim Reaper aka Paddington Bear. I fancy my chances.

All of this (in one go)
A cheque for £2million
A large dominoes pepperoni pizza with big garlic dip and a bottle of Sav Blanc
As above, a new JKR HP book

@3rdOfHisNameBreakerOfPens
I want to know more about the sandwich

A box of Brannigan’s beef and mustard crisps (annoyingly discontinued)
Bruce Springsteen tickets
Glastonbury tickets
(all the above assuming that the queuing would guarantee success)

Never done quite 9 hours, but in my younger days I did queue 6 hours for the Star Wars movie and I’m pretty sure we were standing there a few hours to pick up the last Harry Potter book. I don’t remember the exact time on the actual line for that one because the theatre down the street showed one of the films so we went to see that and then when it let out joined the queue to pick up our pre-ordered books are midnight. It’s great fun to do that kind of queue because you are there with other fans. People have costumes and like to chat.

Surgery that I’m on a waiting list for.
A mortgage free house for each of my grown up children
A huge cash donation to my favoured charities it would be easier than running a fund raising marathon.
A ring with huge sentimental value my DH lost on a beach in Scotland.

A 2nd dog, Mazda MX5 mark 1 (and suitable garage).

A whole pack of lemon fondant fancies. Untouched by either the chocolate or pink ones. Actually make that a double tier of lemon fondant fancies. Yum

Chris Evans (Captain America, not the dj!!)

oh...I should have read the rest of the posts. I think im under dreaming by a huge margin

Funny enough I had this very internal debate when I saw people pitched up with their tents to view the coffin. Huge admiration for the Queen but no appeal for me with that one.

The only things worth a 9 hour queue would be:

A large wedge of cash (thousands at least)

A holiday to New York or Vegas

To save my life or that of a loved one (or bring someone back!)

That's about it.

A maverick bar! I was proper addicted to them, I mean full on addicted in my 20s. I still dream about them! I genuinely would queue longer than 9 hours for that taste again 😋🍫

This is good I'd be tempted to add it to my list.
Along the same lines I'd like salt ànd vinegar french fries only multipacks.

We queued for 7 hours the week before last to get into Burning Man, and then for 10 hours 8 days later to get out. Prior to that we queued for 4 hours to get through security at San Fran airport. All in all, it was a very British holiday for being in the US.

Asked my Y9 son, said he'd gladly queue for 9 hours if he could drop history now and not carry on til the end of the year.
Turns out there are any number of things my family would queue for.
I'd do it for a grand.

During the pandemic- routinely an Ocado slot.

A home that doesn’t get dusty
Troye Sivan access all areas
The amount of theraplay my son actually needs

My family. Nothing and nobody else.

World peace. A cure for cancer. An end to poverty. Money for my children.

In other words, nothing tangible.

The sandwich was amazing. Double cheddar and Gloucester, brown bread mayo and special seasoning I can only assume was crack cocaine it was so moreish.

Ideally to see a favourite band or something like that. Well I'd be aching and likley have wet myself after the first hour so I suppose I would queue for a fitter body.🙄

To pay my respect to a much admired, recently passed, Monarch. Sneer away.

It would have to be an impressive freebie (eg a car) or a decent sum of money, I don't think there's much I'd queue that long for to be honest.

I'd queue that long for any really good band I wanted to see and yes probably anything over a grand or so. I've done plenty of queuing recently and it's been alright. With a camping chair it would be a piece of piss 😁

Loads of things. I've been in work today for longer than that. Took flights longer than that. Sat on my sofa/in bed longer than that so in terms of boredom I'd be OK. Chat to people in front, behind or the people you're with. Yeah you'd get fed up and tired but in the grand scheme of things, 9 hours is not that long!

@RichardMarxisinnocent try the postal ballot which usually starts in November.
No quueing required
