    WOW !!!��������Only in London !!! Walked to the Tesco petrol station to get a few munchies. When I walked up I noticed two coppers watching a woman smoking a cigarette, while filling up. I saw her & thought "what an idiot....with the coppers right there too". I went in & got my snacks. As I was paying I heard someone screaming. I looked outside & the woman's arm was on fire!!! She was swinging her arm & running around going ballistic!! I rushed outside to help & the coppers had put her on the ground & we're putting the fire out with their coffee's!!! Then, they put handcuffs on her & threw her in the police car. I was thinking "she shouldn't have been smoking & pumping petrol!" But being the nosey person that I am, I asked them what they were arresting her for? The coppers looked me dead in the eye & said "WAVING A FIREARM AROUND!"

    Gorgeous weather here, but wind blowing so don't trust it to stay nice.
    What is this life if, full of care, we have no time to stand and stare

    Back from Sains:)

    What a carry on...

    Can you remember that I got a coupon for a £2.50 spend, with the promise of a further surprise once I'd spent it?

    Well spend it I did.....the minute the SA scanned it, the till made a loud buzzing noise and then I was overtaken by events

    The SA popped open her top to reveal a lilac diamond encrusted bustier, the manager jumped out of the photo booth and handed her a microphone. I'm unsure from where the brass band appeared, but as they struck up their first note, the SA jumped on her chair and started belting out "Dancing Queen".

    Who appeared next I can't quite remember. It could have been the fire eater with the string of sausages around his neck or the bearded lady juggling her melons....it was all happening too fast.:rotfl:

    Such a good time was had by all:T:T:T

    Plus I got a coupon for 200 points with my next spend:T:T

    Hello, I would like to hear some tips about travelling please.

    I'm travelling to Japan around end of March with my OH and two kids and staying there for nearly 2 months. I'm considering using airport lounges since travelling with two young kids to Japan is trully gruelling! There's a transit at Seoul so I would like to grab some rest there.

    I remember some of you got a Amex card quite a while back and it came with two lounge passes? I searched the thread but could not find all the info I needed so plucked up the courage to post here.:o

    I see several kinds of Amex card I could go for... which one is recommended please?

    I rarely fly (last time was 5 years ago!) so general tips for using airport/ travelling are welcome too. Thank you in advance.:)
