(let the handbrake off, I don't mean sit in it). In terms of Brexit, I feel this is metaphorically sound as a pound. I would love to help you myself but I live all the way out in Brecon and Radnor as you know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not from these parts, we keep to our own round here so we ran him out of town with a mobility scooter (thanks Joan !!) and a cattle prod. I thought you live in Holland? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bad price? About right? Seemed extortionate to me. Yeah sounds reasonable. Costs me (well, the company) about £130 every time I go to York from Tamworth.

I guess I just thought a bloke in a pink mini waving a cattle prod and angry old biddies on mobility scooters sounded completely realistic in the boonies. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AVFC_Hitz Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 It's all quite incredible when you think I can go from Sofia to Istanbul in an air conditioned 2 berth cabin with a fridge, sink and wi fi for £30. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 You can get a flight across Europe for £20-£30 too. Trains are criminally expensive here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted July 29, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted July 29, 2019 I've developed a strange twitch. Dunno if twitch is the right word. More like habit. My phone is one of these where you can tap the screen to wake it up. It also doesn't have a notification light. It usually sits on my desk to my left, so to check if I have a message (I have it on DND most of the time at work) I just reach over and tap the screen. However, it's become almost subconscious, so even if my phone isn't there, I'll find myself reaching out and tapping whatever is there. Notebook, papers, or just the empty desk. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You still flying 737's or are you back at the nuclear power station looking after them pesky rod's? Either way, we are totally safe. Just change desks so there is no left and you will soon get fed up of getting up off the floor. You must have good concentration to go back and forth to small screen/ big screen all the time?

Seat68 Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 (edited) Eggheads is a popular daytime quiz. Individual members of a team of 5, compete against quizzing cream and if they lose they are knocked out. When 4 on each side have competed the remaining player(s) compete against each other. Instead of saving the strongest till last, the weakest seems to play. Hope this helps. Edited July 29, 2019 by Seat68 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
