  1. Just got off of the phone to my older brother.We have not spoken or met for the last 5 or 6 years, for various reasons,that I won't go into, but I am so glad that I called him today. . We are meeting next week and so much to talk about. Its a huge weight off of of my mind and the guilt for not staying in touch. We are very much alike and it was almost like having a conversation with myself, lol.
  2. Apparently he later ventured to Philippines where he had a similar experience.
  3. For those who remember the legendary Lake Palmer, he passed away in Great Yarmouth on the 8th March 2024 after a long illness
  4. My first job as a student was a night shift Fudge Packer for Paynes sweet factory about £7 a week as I recall.
  5. For Brits here. When thinking back to your first wage packet, I found this site which gives you an idea of what that wage was worth in today's money https://www.bankofengland.co.uk/monetary-policy/inflation/inflation-calculator I am sure there will be other country equivalent websites.
  6. Firstly I would think about what you enjoy most, what transferable skills you have. I jave no idea what your assets are but you could always think about buying property to let. Bricks and mortar always fairly solid investment. You could always retrain to do something you are interested in. Motorcycle mechanic for instance. Delivery driving is very stressful. I know a few people who do it and the financial towards are not great. You could try courier work using your motorbike first and see how that works out first Also, as it has-been mentioned Voluntary work say in a cancer hospital not a bad Idea. That's what I did after I was cured Just a few thoughts
  7. Good point. BA generally offer 4 classes of seat Economy, Premium Economy, Business and First Class. I think the article only related to First Class that will not be on offer. I am sure as time goes by, it will be a little clearer.
  8. Showing £669 LGW to BKK rtn (Economy) in November when I had a look just now on Skyscanner Those flying times would suit me and I am not far from Gatwick either. Hoping I can get cheap Biz class on my mates Staff concessions. Will have to wait and see.

  10. The one thing airlines can never get right is a good English breakfast as we know it. An omelette and a sausage is normally the nearest as its prepared and packed pre flight Never had cornflakes with milk either. That's why I just have croissant, some huice and a couple of cups of coffee.

    F1

    Did any other F1 fans think that the first race of the season in Bahrain was rather lacklustre? I certainly did. Not much wheel to wheel racing apart from Sainz
  12. You should have used the tray attached to the back of the seat in front 😁😁
  13. I may start taking my own food with me
  14. Generally,I hate it. The only decent meals I have ever had was in Biz class served on a proper plate with a choice of wines and cheeses etc. I find food in Economy ( which I normally use) to be almost inedible apart from the yoghurt pot, fruit and cheese and biscuits I can honestly say that I have never finished one of those two choice reheated meals on an airplane I normally eat at the airport before boarding. I am more interested in the drinks section of the trolley. That said I never expect anything different in economy on my 2 Airlines of choice when flying long haul. I suspect prison food is slightly better🙂
  15. Totally unacceptable. They ordered expensive items and paying the bill was not something that they merely forgot about. Scum.of the earth and certainly not representatives of the average tourist. They have probably gotten away with it too. How do these kind of people sleep at night.
  16. I must admit that I probably have wasted money pm my last few trips. Stayed in a hotel with a pool a gym and it's own restaurant. How many times did I use any of those facilities? None 😁
  17. I agree and not the best snooker I have ever seen, very mediocre. I switched channels half way through
