    Yes, they are a generalist travel agent but to say they have no specialisms is unfair. They have an excellent cruise division, I've booked through them a couple of times and they've been fantastic. DH works for an airline, so we never buy a package, but they've worked with us to get some fantastic cruise only rates. The cruise division is staffed by highly knowledgeable staff working from their own homes in a virtual call centre set-up, I hope they manage to salvage that.

    You don't get out much, do you?

    Sadly no. Its a result of having a 95 mile each way commute and doing 12 hour days at the moment. But thats the pennance I have to pay to maintain my 90th percentile salary and big beemer. Stuff costs, graft needed to generate cash.....

    If you are earning > £700 per day, why get so excited about earning a few quid on some shares ?

    Seems you are one of those relatively wealthy people who likes to tell everyone about it. How do you earn this £700+ per day, rolyalty payments from Harry Enfield ?

    This is the difference between winners and losers you see?

    It's NOT all about the money, it's the RISK, the CHALLENGE, the KNOWING you are braver and smarter than the person next to you!

    £700 a day is only £87.50 an hour - that's pitiful to be honest, I wouldn't pull my sockies on for that! But, I was being conservative on the figures to stop the losers jumping on my post!

    I'll give you that one .... as I'm in a good mood having just made £2100 overnight - that's nearly 3 days wages - so, I shall laugh with you.

    What job do you do that enables you to earn £700 a day, while creating threads such as "I'm leaving, haha, no I'm not"?

    You seem to have a long lunchtime.

    Liquid lunch by any chance ?
