I doubt we will see that for a few years, if ever again.

That would be Homeworks.

I have often wondered.... do they record your actual IP at the proxy server? Are they required to by local or international law?Surely if they had YOUR anonymity at heart it would be prudent of them not to keep such records, and perhaps inform you when the subpoena/court order lands on the desk, and you would stop using that particular proxy. There is also the possibility of a proxy server based in some country that might laugh at a subpoena/court order from say the USA?

Permitted for staff only!

Is it a Christmas present you old softie you?

Just hinting he may not know what you did not tell him, and does know what you did........ I just recall you banning him from posting, and hinting you may lift the ban.

Other than that, it was OK then? I always had the opinion that they were awful on the ground (check in, boarding etc) but the service on board was ok (back then it seemed to be mostly Middle eastern young males who were great).

Try having fewer wives and kids! I would think Cathay a good option. When I last flew to Manila from the UK I used BA to HK and then Cathay.

I certainly agree there but I see this rule waived a little more frequently of late.I find it off-putting and am inclined to move on.

I presume he knows that?I thought he was banned from posting...amazing he hasn't jumped back in over tha last month then.

Why not the Thai banks, they are offering some reasonable fixed term deposits?The offshore banks have given up offering good interest rates, they don't need the money, they can borrow it for near zero rates themselves from the central banks! Try this Or how about saving into say a currency trading account.... PM me.

Yeah, I noticed you popped that in there just now.Do you think it might get us bad boys to behave?

Shhh Joe, have you seen your reputation lately?

I like the mixed fruits flavour. They don't have one so I mix it myself.... One pineapple, one orange, one strawberry and one banana and I find a mint one makes it taste perfect. It's a lot to swallow as the bishop said.......... and I struggle to get my pants back on after the deed.

Seconded!

That was my first thought. The government doesn't like private companies doing what it does itself, adding surcharges to flight costs.Perhaps this is a diversion tactic for the coming European Carbon tax to be added to flights. Then there is the fact that credit card companies do charge retailers a percentage for handling the transaction, perhaps 4%, I have heard AMEX charge 5. I believe that charge should be passed on to the consumer, then, for the consumer who choses not to use a credit card, they can offer tha absolutely cheapest price. But how does a consumer avail himself of that price. It seems there are charges for using a debit card too, or admin fees, or whatever. I certainly can't go cash in hand to the airline office to pay for the ticket. Probably talking to a human being incurs a charge too. I have not seen an option booking a ticket over the internet to pay by bank transfer. They will get you in the end.

Yes, define traditional!

In the Valley of Elah

Vitaclay 2-in-1 Rice N' Slow Cooker VF7700-6 When we get to see that arse?

They seem bring to the boil for 10 minutes or so and then just keep warm. Not sure what the congee setting does.She only showed me the correct button to press!

Yes, strange. My fares most certainly have gone up over the years too. I suppose the taxes will keep going up as it is perceived as both 'green' and picking on a select group, those who can afford to travel. I just don't accept that the EU has the right to enforce and create taxes, particularly on those from outside the zone.

The Texas Chainsaw massacre

Jeez Joe... you got there in the end after you put the stick down!

Actually a lot of the trains are just passing through Picadilly and the other Manchester Stations (Oxford Rd, Deansgate etc). Unless there is something you would like to do in Manchester!

The world ruling body, the EU, has decided it must step in and protect the planet, and make some money of course at the same time. Europe's highest court has upheld the right of the European Union to impose a carbon cap-and-trade scheme on international airlines using European airports, rejecting an appeal from U.S. airlines. Apparently it will be obligatory for the airlines using European airports to pay for the carbon they emit. Actually everyone who breathes does so too, where do I drop my coin? A cow breathing in a green Netherlands field does so too, and a fish swimming up the Thames. I see a wider picture here. Europe imposing rules that impact the worlds carriers without due authority. (No taxation without representation as the USA says). The ability to impose any asinine rule or 'law' providing it has green roots! The need to increase taxation due to the inability of European countries to manage their spending. A crazy headlong rush into green alternatives, effectively painting oneself into an energy corner. These darned ugly wind turbines popping up all over the UK... how do we know that impeding the winds does not itself bring about climate change? Rant over, main problem, bloody air tickets are getting too expensive, and European idiots in that silly little place Luxembourg are determined to choke off it's own wealth.
