  1. Years ago we managed to get an earlier flight from LA to Honolulu.Guess what,we arrived 3 hrs earlier than expected but our luggage was still on the later flight.After wasting 2 hrs at the airport we woke up in our hotel the next morning with our bags delivered overnight.Good service though,not really their fault with us asking for an earlier flight at the last minute.
  2. That's true TJ, we get the hot one.Good option,no other supermarket does that AFAIK.
  3. We had a dry,sunny but cold day in Cambridge yesterday.Went around on the HOHO bus twice,lol.
  4. With 2 cruises booked this year I thought I'd look in M&S for a velvet dress jacket.A bit dissapointed with the present range.Went into Next,wow, the range there was impressive.The quality is good and 20% cheaper than M&S.I've now got a green velvet jacket.Looking for black trousers once I've lost a few more lbs to get back to my fighting weight,lol.
  5. We're lazy,we use Sainsbury own brand packet mix.Having said that it is rocket fuel and the best I have tasted.Some of the family think it's too hot.
  6. Just booked a TUI AI 11 day river cruise.Budapest to Frankfurt with Vienna and Bratislava on the way.My oh has never been to Germany even though we pass as close as 200 yards from it on our twice yearly drive.Most of the Rhine cruises are 7 days so we opted for the Danube/Main itinerary.Only our 2nd river cruise since the Nile 18 years ago.Off to Cambridge today for a 2 night break.
  7. Have they opened a Greggs already.I thought Zap was joking.
  8. No worries about that.They're cooked 24 hrs in advance I think,judging by my last one.
  9. Eating a bacon roll in 5 mins is not a Guiness world record Graham.
  10. Hi Purdey,am I right in thinking you're in Fuerteventura? Thinking of a long term let in the early new year.Can you suggest an area.Also @yorkshirephil may be able to advise.TIA,Brian.
  11. If you 2 lived in America you'd be in the state pen.
  12. Nearly everyone in our village has a log burner.Loved the smell in the winter and huge lorry loads of logs being delivered.PS nice to hear from you Jane @Beckett was getting worried for a while.
  13. We flew from Oahu to the "Big island",no safety brief just belt up guys it might be a bit rough on final approach but that's normal.Noisy and bouncy at the end,lol.A turboprop is basically a jet engine with a propeller bolted to the front.Bit different from the Red Baron days.
  14. We came back with 1500 Euro cash after selling our house.Our contribution towards the fees was unexpectedly only 200,result.We're booking a 11 day European river cruise today hopefully,should come in handy.
  15. They do start them young in those Benidorm British pubs.
  16. I hope so otherwise you'd be medium rare by now,lol.
  17. It's not just a egg and bacon roll (yeah, there's an egg in there somewhere) it's a Greggs 24hr matured curly ,marbled, egg and bacon roll.
  18. With all these fine dining pics,here's my contribution.Brekkie at Vicky coach station thursday.Beat that Graham😉.
  19. We love cats and dogs.We've rescued 3 dogs in Italy.We took one 6 hrs to Rome,stayed overnight and 6hrs back to rehome him.We brought back a kitten for our daughter,that was a 600 euro saga for various reasons.When we see her the ungrateful sod just dabs us and runs off(the cat,not the daughter).
  20. I had my skin cancer check while getting drunk with our friends at the beach bar in Italy.I said to my mate,I've got this lesion just inside the hairline on my forehead.He said don't worry my daughter is a consultant dermatologist,he promptly took a photo,sent it to her and I got the all clear within the hour.She said it's an old persons thing.My mate said get another round in b4 you peg it.
