Indeed.

Although I suppose asymmetric thrust is pretty much guaranteed to make it an "exciting experience".

I'm sorry. How could that be anything BUT a euphemism?

I suppose it's one of the differences between being a pilot and a lover: going down has very different expectations as to what constitutes a happy ending.

Over the weekend I swapped:
£540 nectar points for £500 cash and £270 nectar points
242 clubcard points for £29 and a wireless network printer

I knew about the second one, what was the first?

That shows how often I go to Wales. I don't think I've ever driven myself to Wales. Nothing against the place just no reason to go there.

I've only ever been once, in 2012.

Interestingly to see a singer that was on the Visit Wales advert last year.

A lot of South Wales is lovely and the people are generally nice.

North Wales...I just don't go there if I can possibly avoid it, even though I can be there in 20 minutes.

Nectar account specific offer, spend Nectar points at homebase and get 50% of the points redeemed recredited to your account, I purchased 500 of visa gift cards for £540 of points.

My stash of nectar points is getting depleted after I took advantage of a simlar offer from eBay earlier this year where I used the points to buy something from DWs eBay account.

However I have another £120 of points to come as I just did the Amex gold new customer again, I particuarly like this one as you can do the offer in 3 months or less, cash in the points and close the account down to be a new customer again in 6 months. The cashback Amex you don't get the payout until you have been a customer for 12 months then with the 6 months gap it means you can only do the offer every 18 months rather than every 9 months for the points offer.

Thank you LydiaJ Though it's not that I'm worried about her, more that her children might be, as they're too young to understand the unlikelihood of anything happening to her IYSWIM. She works in a hospital.

I appear to have overslept by 2 hours......

OH has just brought me a coffee before going into work, and I'm going to head into the town for breakfast at 7 before going in, because I'm in a particularly lazy mood this morning

It is usually the other way around, I promise, but I obviously needed it.....
