    Morning all.. Well I have woken up to another day, so no sudden ending here.

    I have been watching You Me and the Apocalypse on Sky. Does that count?

    Anyone in the north catch the Northern Lights last night?

    I just found a lake called Minnewanka. Made me smile :o

    I know that lake. :)

    It's only a short drive from sis's house in the Rockies.

    It's great around Banff if you like various sports like :-

    - running (away from bears)
    - climbing (trees away from bears)
    - swimming (away from bears)
    - canoeing (few bears own canoes)

    Hmm, I think there's a theme here ;)

    Just driven to Gatwick with OH and I can confirm that the M11/M25/M23 as I knew them are still there, so I can't tell either. Not to say something hasn't happened over Greater Greater Herts :cool:

    She's gone to do whatever she needs to do while I wait at the gate....unfair, but that's life.

    ETA: G-EZUI (The flying carrot) has just been pushed. I want to fly on it :(

    The one time to be greatful you are at Gatwick rather than Heathrow T5, whatever it is she needs to do will cost less.

    Grateful , from the Latin word gratus which gave rise to grate = pleasing.

    The 16th Century word "grate" is apparently obsolete....so why don't we change the spelling of grateful to greatful ? It would make things a lot easier.

    Pretty confusing...English...when you think about it :)

    I learnt to fly in Dallas in 1980. I flew there and back with Braniff in one of these..

    Mrs Generali and I helped test T5 before it opened.....with hillarious results.

    Well it worked just fine when we were there. I still use the travel plug I was given to charge my English-plugged toothbrush.
