In zombie apocalpyse genre books, the apocalypse is usually signalled by news like this about an incident on a flight, but no one realised what is going on until the zombies are in their back garden. Keep your eyes peeled.

That is a bit ominous! :eek:
As this opens a fantasy theme, this video shows a holiday destination that's a little bit sci-fi looking.

Ah, that IS quick! In the main I'm used to timelines being about 5-10 days or so.

In the two I organised they were 13 days and 9 days.

The friend whose funeral we were supposed to be going to tomorrow died 4 weeks ago.

I understand there is a back log of civil non religious funerals in certain areas.

Sorry for your loss.

Grrrr... Trying to get to sleep early for a flight at stupid o clock and it's not working. Useless at this being a responsible adult business.

Was woken up about 4.30am by OH departing for some stupid o'clock train to Brussels. and then again at about 5am by DS2 returning from watching some American wrestling nonsense on TV at a friends. Not pleased.

I hate phone calls between 7 and 8 in the morning. It's always bad news.

Reading back and spotted this one.Again, sorry for your loss. Always difficult to face the shock and to get in gear to start travelling around.

Keep going and you'll get there

Debating what to do with my only 'off' day this week (tomorrow). The only thing I have to do is pick a van up before the fleet manager goes home, so it's going to seem like bliss.

Better go to bed in a minute, but hope all NP (and future NP) are good

Thanks. Sadly it only works if you book an expensive Bus class flight rather than a cheap one. Pointed it out to OH who occasionally has to book last minute.

When a dentist tells you they don't know what to do. :eek: Don't know whether to be pleased at their honesty or annoyed that they don't know the answer.

Patched up...for now at least.

I'd be glad they weren't pushing for unnecessary treatment. I used to be registered with a practise in S London where the dentist was always replacing my fillings every visit. Never knew how this was needed, or experienced such a rate of dental work since.

I read somewhere later that this was a scam of sorts, and it's best to avoid dentists that do this much work on you as they're financially incentivised to drill and fill as often as possible. Or, specifically, temporary locum dentists were.
