helping me to put my bra on

I've just realised, if, God forbid, anything should happen to me that means I can't put my own bra on, I'd have a problem. I wouldn't be leaving the house!

I was trying to fill a bit of time so I was ready to leave the office just after 5 rather than just before. I've been having some issues with my emails in that my 'deleted items' won't empty properly as it thinks the folder is synchronising itself - so I have to go through and manually permanently delete things. Decided I'd 'select all' and delete them as my mailbox keeps reaching it's limit.

Then I realised I'd deleted everything out of my inbox by mistake so I'll be spending the evening sorting through my deleted items and un-deleting a lot of things. I needed to sort through my inbox but I was tackling it gradually. Not any more!

Those of a delicate disposition, please forgive me but I also need to swear:
*npower*

Thank you. That feels better

You'd just have less pert tits. There are various solutions to some issues, just not all of them. Front fastening bras, bloody awful crop tops ( I do this a lot) and so on.

The funniest thing a doctor said to me was when I explained (long time ago now) I was having trouble with bra fastening he said until my back was better ( dexterity was worse then, but back was making things really hard) I'd have to not wear one. I asked him how having the boobs hanging uncontrolled was going to help my back, as you are meant to keep heavy weights stable and close to the body when lifting to prevent back injury.

No laughter. When I find ones with sense of humour I'm always pleased.

Congrats from us too

...you're buying a plane?

Ordering 2, with options for 8 more, for possible delivery towards the end of this year. The company itself is being financed by an investment consortium, so I'm in no way doing it alone. I own 1.5% of it.

We need 2 aircraft on order to apply for the AOC.

Possibly at some point in 2017, if it doesn't go so well

I usually think airlines will fail before they've even lifted off, but I think this one has the right mix of destinations, fleet size and aircraft to be able to compete effectively in a very underserved market.

BA, Air France and KLM have all pulled out, largely as they're operating 150 seat aircraft on the route. Pulling it back to basics, an aircraft in 87 seat configuration, offering similar fuel burn and range would (from the figures we've seen) make a lot of difference.

No EU airline is operating the aircraft type, it's one of the most fuel efficient in its class ((in 12 + 75 config) it actually uses 6% less fuel per seat than an A319 in (12 + 102 config)), with similar seat pitch, and it saves on landing fees because (we're using the LR version) it's just under the weight band at most airports. Win-win IMO.

It's not about launching Emirates, it's about making a start.

I'd have to hope I was seeing David Mitchell again, after my comment about not having any irregular partners either (I'd been asked if I had any regular ones) made him blush

Luckily I am sure the nice people would make the sacrifice and help you (or LIR or Spirit) out if there was no other option.

Glad to see you've done the basic research - that's also my starter list when I buy new planes. Then it's just a question of: what colour does it come in? (with me being a girl)
