BB don't you dare! That's really tempting for me too! Cos I know when SFE pay me, I may be looking online to see if I can take Pint away for Valentine's or maybe his birthday...was thinking of it this year but didn't have enough to do it, it's the big 3-0 for him next year so I wanna do something good!

I am proud of managing to do so much for my presentations, I may start scripting tomorrow cos I'm REALLY bored!

BB, if you can walk that far you'd have no problem doing the RFL with us all next year! :T :T

not sure I could do it again :rotfl:About 200 metres away from the apartment the muscles in the top of my thighs were burning

God, it was hot :rotfl:Have to say it's the furthest I've walked for years and years. (and years!) We did stop for a drink after getting there (Vilamoura is a rip off price wise :eek:) and that was 3 miles into the torture, so it was done in 2 lots really rather than 1 amount - I would have needed an ambulance if I'd done it all in 1 go :rotfl:

Do you still pay the taxes and what-not if you don't turn up?

oh, and then I got home late on the Friday night, went to Asda Sunday afternoon and my exhaust snapped - literally ( I did keep telling OH before went away it was noisy and asked him if he would look :rolleyes: )so I ended up last Sunday in Kwik Fit as nowhere else was open. I had to go back on the Monday afternoon after work for them to put a new back box on........£163 :eek:

Flamin' rip-off merchants :mad:

Still, it was better than sounding like a boy racer sherman tank :rolleyes:

3 miles is about the length of a RFL....

I was wondering that too Zed. Not that I have anyone to go with. :rolleyes:

Burlesque_Babe · 24 October 2009 at 6:23PM

the taxes etc for the flight? Yep - it comes in at £35 each way. Once booked they aren't refundable in any way. They do £10 no taxes flights, but it's a real lottery about the dates and even if they will be available where you want to go. They sometimes to 1p no taxes but it's mostly Dublin/Edinburgh flights from Bournemouth and even then they are very rare.
