Two weeks ago we were in the mid 80’s here and I almost started putting my beer in the fridge.
Today at 2pm it is 32F
Glad my beer is not in the fridge!
So, it seems two light planes collided near the Marana, AZ airport. This will probably make the evening news tonight as part of the campaign to discredit Trump.
Never mind the fact that Marana has no tower, and is 100% uncontrolled airspace. Facts be damned.
Xi and the CCP have a third apple to fall to them in the Second Island Chain.
The PLAN will be happy!
This time it’s theCook Islands’ Prime Minister Mark Brown who earns his far Swiss Bank deposits from China. And he didn’t even had to share his ill gotten gains with the rest of his Cabinet! He just arrived back from Beijing Monday with a big smile on his face.10 days ago he just disappeared and turned up in China where he signed an agreement to ‘fix’ the Rarotonga fresh water supply. China built a ‘newer’ replacement fresh water system after the last system was installed a couple of years ago that failed totally due to Chinese engineering incompetence.
PM Brown has ‘given’ China access to a massive fishery. One of the planet’s largest, as well as giving China exclusive deep water mining right for rare earth mineral nodules lying on the Pacific Ocean floor, thus preventing the West access to these strategic minerals.
The Cook Islands chain has a long term Charter with New Zealand to Provide a Rarotonga Police Force. NZ Defence agreement to protect the Rarotonga Economic Boundaries, Foreign Affairs support, the Use of NZ Passports for Rarotongans, Provision for the use of NZ currency in Rarotonga. About half of all Ratotongan citizens live in NZ!
Air NZ built the runway on Rarotonga as well as the tourist industry and the major hotel on Taro. ALL of that has been swept by fiat from a rogue Prime Minister with no notice and in total abrogation of the NZ Rarotonga Charter Agreement. I can guarantee that China will saddle Raro with the typical Belt and Road type agreement, then change the terms and load the Island chain with massive debt. PM Brown did this all by himself and didn’t even tell his own Party, let alone the Opposition Leader, who is also named Brown ( no relation) an idiot woman who has trouble stringing two words together. The NZ Security Service was caught totally out of the loop. The US security services were also caught totally off guard. Raro’s government in a Free Association Agreement with NZ, is run by two tribal based multi-family groups, who have a chequered career for unlawful scams, money laundering, and drugs running between South America and Asia and tribal based corruption.
Whenever there is a Labour Party in power in NZ there seems to be a major corruption scandal that NZ Labour governments just sweep under the rug!
Xi’s China now has yet another Naval / fishing fleet/ Oceanic deep sea mining fleet, in the key Pacific centre and Second Island Chain. This can’t stand! There are many VERY pissed off Rarotongans rioting in Rarotonga but just words and shock from the NZ Government
Air fryer tip.
Air fryers create fried food using less oil. But those aerosol oil sprays are relatively expensive per ounce.
What I do is place the food I want to air fry into a gallon ziplock and add about 1/4oz ( 8g in metric ) of coconut oil and then massage the contents thoroughly to coat the food in oil.
Today lunch will be baby yellow potatoes boiled for 20 minutes then oil coated and finished off at 350F for 10 minutes.
Now, some of you may be thinking I am wasting money using the ziplock bag. Spray oil would be cheaper.
However, Mr ziplock bag used for oil coating actually lives in the freezer when not in use. Only discarded when its zippy thing wears out.
Lunch will be baked baby potatoes and a can of chunky tuna with mayo, the one that was re-called then un-recalled. The tuna, not the mayo.

I am putting my answer to the reason for the upside down hard landing in Toronto in a sealed envelope and waiting for the results of the accident investigation.

@ Possum:
As an example of what a nightmare this all is. If you withdraw any money from a personal pension in the UK you are taxed on that withdrawal.
Unless you prove that you are residing outside the UK, then it is tax free.
To prove you are residing outside the UK you need a statement from the IRS in the US to the UK tax people. Then the IRS taxes you instead. Seems fair to me.
Would be nice if the UK IRS and the USA IRS could get their collective shit together.
Not even attempted to get the US social security administration and the UK National Insurance people talking together yet.
UK and US have an arrangement where Social Security and National Insurance payments are pooled together. A mutual agreement.

1100 feet per minute ?????
You’ve got to be joking!
The video looked a VERY high decent rate where the airplane touched down VERY long and NO ROUND OUT. If you screwed the approach that much it’s a GO AROUND every time. We had a radical runway change onto RW 06 at LAX at night after 10 hours in the air London – LAX with patchy fog at LAX. I was flying the Boeing 747 and tower gave us the change when we are maintaining 5,000 feet cruising down the coast from the North.
We were over the coast and had been planned for a RW25 arrival. The only way to make it onto RW06 was to close the thrust levers and lower the nose. The skipper has an illegal visitor on the flight deck and he was showing off. Yes he was an idiot.
Flying a heavy jet one NEVER UNSPOOLED the engine close to the ground. A BIG FAN has LOTS of inertia and from unspooled, with a handful of power applied, NOTHING much happens for 4-5 seconds while the engines begin to spool up to where they give you actual thrust. Meantime you are actually falling out of the air! The idiot skipper said just close the thrust levers, lower the nose you’ll make it. NOPE not with me flying, the shortest runway at LAX, in fog with last second changes from 5,000 feet when we are almost overhead the runway threshold! You want to fly like that I’ll write you up if we survive. The Flight Engineer agreed with me!
The skipper backed down and swallowed his pride and stopped showing off!!!
I asked for Radar steers onto a 3,000 foot 10 mile finals on whatever Runway desired ATC, but it wasn’t going to be RW 06 from 5,000 feet while we just a couple of miles west of that threshold and over the coast in fog.Eventually ATC vectored us onto an approach profile for Runway 25 and stepped us down to 3,000 feet.
There are idiots flying airplanes all over the place. It’s bad enough to have to save the airplane in an emergency let alone flying like an idiot. Gender politics, and flying NEVER MIX

@ Aussie Infidel:
On that particular flight, it appears as though the newly-hired First Officer was at the controls. She received her restricted ATP 41 days prior to the crash.
now that kash is in office
I think the phrase follow the money is about to get even more of a workout
@ lobo91:
I cannot find data to support this but I did see somewhere that the date on her ATP may not be the date she first got it.
If it is modified/amended then it has the date it was altered.
Such as a change of home address…..
@ Possum:
I don’t think it’s going to be an issue going forward either way. Her next job is going to be at Burger King
@ lobo91:
I hope not.
Left high school at 18. Did a 4 year degree in aeronautics. Then got certification as an instructor on single engine aircraft, not a silly little 2 seat Cessna but a 6 seat one. To build up hours.
Seen yelling she had less than 1500 flight hours when she got her ATP. Yep! possible, there is a waiver for any pilot that did a 4 year degree in aeronautics, 1250 is that requirement.
Anyway her inexperience is not really an issue is it?
How do pilots gain experience?
They fly as FO under the supervision of the PIC. For several years before they transition to the left seat.
She may indeed have been the PF, pilot flying. But what the fuck was the PM pilot monitoring doing? What was he monitoring?
The report on this incident that will be released in about three years time will be interesting reading.
@ Possum:
Whether she was truly at fault or not, I seriously doubt that anyone in the industry is going to hire her.

It would be nice if Trump and Musk brought experts from DHL to sort out USPS.
Estimated delivery of my package as of Friday was Monday 24th, then this morning expected was Tuesday 25th. Now latest update.
so, out for delivery today and expected to arrive tomorrow!
We needs faster silly little USPS trucks if they take 24 hours to drive from the post office to my apartment.
Plus, they do not deliver to my apartment but drop it of at the office, two many stairs I guess.
Plus, plus!
Office closes at 5pm. If it is closed they say ” UNDELIVERABLE ” and then we go into this endless cycle of where the fuck is it now.
Also had ” address incorrect ” for a 16lbs sack of cat food that when I eventually found it the address and apartment number was 100% correct, it just was heavy….
@ Possum:
I’m pretty sure they have a dropdown menu of excuses for not delivering things. Where I live, they seem to pick them at random, often before even leaving the Post Office in the morning. I’ve seen them put “mailbox full” or “no access to delivery location” at 6:30 in the morning, but they don’t make it over here until 11:00 or so (and the mailbox is on the street).
@ lobo91:
It is sad really, the issues I have had have always been on the very last stage where the person who is responsible for the last few miles screwed up, made an excuse or just could not be bothered to walk up one flight of stairs.
The ” backbone ” of USPS works fine.
This is a boring cut and past but my package transited many places on the way here even on Saturday and Sunday. The backbone works 7 days a week.

#BREAKING EXCLUSIVE: Eric Swalwell PANICS when I ask about his Chinese spy girlfriend Fang Fang, and whether that’s a bigger “national security threat” than Elon Musk
I sat next to a drunk Swalwell at dinner for 90 minutes. He was IMMEDIATELY compromised by a group of lobbyists he’d JUST MET, spilling intimate details about his job and asking for HELP CHEATING ON HIS WIFE.
MASSIVE national security threat. This guy should have his clearances revoked.
Swalwell spent his dinner bragging about “ORGlES” on Capitol Hill, telling them he’s bored of his wife and “only wants to f*ck tens.”
Worse, he spoke about ABUSlNG his power on the House Intel Committee (which he’s since been booted off of), saying he pushed to SUBPOENA Ivanka Trump because she’s “hot as f*ck”
THIS GUY MUST BE REMOVED FROM THE HOMELAND SECURITY COMMITTEE. He CANNOT keep his freaking mouth shut.
After I began questioning him, Swalwell jumped back into the group of lobbyists to hide from me, but I pressed on.
Dude looked absolutely TERRIFIED and 100% guilty. He knows he’s been caught.

This is a really good interview with a retired CW3 who was in the 12th Aviation Battalion until 2023 and has extensive experience flying those routes.
A couple of interesting points: The ceiling on Helicopter Route 4 is 200 feet, but it’s 200 feet MSL plus or minus 75 feet. That means anywhere from 125 to 275 feet, measured with the barometric altimeter. Airliners (and ATC) are using AGL (height above the ground), measured with the radar altimeter.
Second, there is no specified width for Route 4. It’s shown on the charts as hugging the western bank of the river, but that’s just how the charts are printed. In practice, it’s “over the river.”

Reminder – Ursula calls free speech a virus and censorship a vaccine against it.
“As technology evolves, we need to build up societal immunity around information manipulation. Because research has shown that pre-bunking is much more successful than debunking. Pre-bunking is basically the opposite of debunking. In short, prevention is pleasurable to cure.”
“Perhaps if you think of inflammation manipulation as a virus, instead of treating an infection once it has taken hold, that is debunking. It is much better to vaccinate so that the body is inoculated. Pre – bunking is the same approach.”

U.S. President Donald Trump on Tuesday floated the idea of replacing a visa program for foreign investors with a so-called “gold card” that could be bought for $5 million as a route to American citizenship.
Trump told reporters he will replace the “EB-5” immigrant investor visa program, which allows foreign investors of large sums of money that create or preserve U.S. jobs to become permanent residents, with a so-called “gold card.”
The EB-5 program grants “green cards” to foreigners promising to invest in U.S. businesses.
“We are going to be selling a gold card,” Trump said. “We are going to be putting a price on that card of about $5 million,” he added.

@ Aussie Infidel:
I should have been more specific.
I should have said “How do pilots gain experience on type?”
The young lady in question built up her hours by getting certified as an instructor in single engine planes, and not a Cessna 172 but5 some six seater plane, then built up hours that way.
Then when accepted by the airline did 12 weeks ground school on type CRJ-900 and sim training. And possibly several hours training on an empty real CRJ-900. There was once a documentary about British Airways flight school where they used a 737 and took it up to a remote Scottish airport with a handful of trainees and did touch and goes and circuits and landings then swapped out the trainee FO and off they went again.
I don’t think they practiced rejected take offs, them things are hard on the brakes. LOL
Anyway, there comes a point when the Right seat pilot of a commercial airliner has ZERO flight hours on type with fare paying passengers in the back.
You had ZERO hours of flight time on type with passengers the first time you strapped a 747 to your ass on a revenue flight.
I doubt the Captain announced on the PA.
@ eaglesoars:
Cheap box Merlot and Busch Light and lack of vegetables does that to a person.

Captain: ” Standard flight procedure for trainees. If you touch anything without permission, or even think about it he is going to bite you. Now buckle up and off we go! “
As promised numbers for February are in.
1st Feb starting weight 207.4lbs, end weight on 28th 205.2lbs. Average for month 206.0107142857lbs.
Average calorie intake for February is 2490.6785714286
Calories from food average 848.0357142857 per day.
Calories from wine and beer average 1642.6428571429 per day.
Looks like my Basic Metabolic rate is still about 2500 calories per day.
Now, in order to reduce my cuddly belly fat do I spend $1000 per month on Monjano or Ozempic so I reduce hunger and eat less food?
Or quit drinking?
Data suggests, quit drinking alcoholic beverages and eat twice as much as I have been eating for months and I will lose weight!
But I won’t be as much fun….
@ Possum:
As a side note, Keto diet I did last year got me down from 226 to 198 in two months but it is difficult to maintain. No beer, no wine and a shit load of eggs and cheese and meat.
Going to do a modified Mediterranean diet, fish, chicken, salad stuff and fruit etc in March. It is warmer here in Houston. For the past two months too cold for salad!
Beer and wine have to go. Thems is the sneaky calorie intake that often goes un-noticed when trying to eat healthy. People calorie count their food only.
Goal is 198 by 31st March. By eating well and no wine or beer. I can do this!
Someone has some explaining to do:
So, I is good at math. one pound of fat is the equivalent to 3500 calories.
To go from 206 to 198 is 8 pounds. It kinds of gets complicated because fat cells in the body also contain water and if you reduce body fat you also reduce stored water in those cells. But going with numbers and ignoring all that.
To reduce fat in my body, 8 pounds of it, I have to burn 28,000 calories some how in the month. Roughly 1000 calories per day. As my BMR is about 2400 per day it means that if I try to get at 1500 or less calories per day I should hit 198lbs at the end of March.
As I was eating about 900 calories per day in January and February and eating nice meals then 1500 calories per day in food will be luxury!
But no alcohol. 🙁 🙁 🙁
And finally before I go and spend the whole of March curled up in bed with a pillow over my head and suffering from alcohol withdrawal.
A cooking tip.
Remember the blooming onion thing and slicing it using a cap from a jar?
That is the way I now slice all my onions. You end up with petal like pieces of onions. They are far superior to slicing an onion cross wise into rings or chunks. Doing that cuts across the cell structures and the juice escapes.
The lengthways slicing the onion preserves the cell structure and the slices remain plump and suggulent.
Perfect for Chinese stir fry and fajita making.
My gift to humanity, the only way to slice an onion is use the cap off a jar of pickled beetroot!
So, the new narrative is that DOGE has saved us 0$, because that money was for contracts and had already been spent. Of course what the people spreading this lie leave out is that the contracts are ongoing and renew automatically.
Also, Colorado’s governor and other pols in the state have declared their support and backing for Zelensky after the “horrible” way he was treated.
Do they not have eyes and ears? How freaking stupid do they have to be?
@ Possum:
I could post a picture proving my assertion that onions sliced length ways preserve the cell structure and remain intact when cooked.
Lunch is the last remnants of the fajita thing.
However, as nobody looks at the pictures and I cannot be bothered to separate out the onions, then rinse them and plate them to take a picture of them then just trust me.
Beetroot jar lid sliced onions are the best!

China has rare earth elements coming out of their ears.
The term ” rare earth elements” is actually a misnomer. They are abundant on the planet but where they are found they are in VERY low concentrations.
In the region of 60 to 0.52 parts per million. As in to get 0.52 tons of Lutetium used in PET scanners you have to dig up and process a million tons of rock.
The reason so many electronic goods come from China is they strictly control the export of Rare Earths, but will export the finished goods.
Now, if the USA could get its sticky paws on rare earths we could manufacture electronic devices here.
Rare earths are also abundant in the USA but it means digging really big holes and processing billions of tons of waste rock. Not acceptable to the environmentalists.

One cow they could barely keep alive and 2 horses that weren’t much better. The only heat source was a stove they barely had fuel for.

That started me thinking about my Dad’s mom, Mimi. They lived in a little village in SW PA called Millsboro. My grandfather and uncles were coal miners there.
That household never knew rationing. Mimi grew everything in her kitchen gardens and orchard trees. Beans, potatoes, greens, tomatoes apples, cherries, carrots, onions you name it. The only things she bought were flour and rice
My grandfather’s parents were farmers. They had cows, pigs sheep chickens. Sunday dinner at Mimi’s house was a feast. Roast pork loin, mashed potatoes with gravy and butter, green beans, stuffing with sage, fresh bread and apple pie. And nobody was fat. Walking into her kitchen Sunday afternoon after church was another kind of heaven

Zelenskyy [points at Trump and Putin]
“Let’s you and him fight.”
I fully understand why the UK is supporting Ukraine and providing them with billions of GBP and even committing to send aircraft and combat soldiers on the ground.
In 1982 when British territory was attacked the Ukraine sent two aircraft carriers and 10,000 troops to support the UK forces.
The Ukraine also imposed sanctions on the country that attacked the UK territory and seized the assets of any national of that aggressor country.
The Ukraine deserves UK support now.
@ eaglesoars:
He had no right to attack.
I’d kind of like to see Zelinski and Putin locked in a room with two machine guns and 500 rounds of ammo each.

Um, that was sarcasm.
In 1982 and the NATO and article 5 thingy did not seem to work.
I don’t know what this obsession is with assisting Ukraine.
Is it a pro Ukraine thing or an anti Russia hold over from the days of the USSR and the cold war.

Yep. Sec Bessent said an agreement had already been worked out and they were supposed to sign it before the presser in the Oval. Then Zelensky went rogue and Trump and Vance and Rubio realized they’d been played. I’m betting they’re plotting revenge and Starmer ain’t gonna like it

Nice weteronje has has a goodly work out the instructor gets to fly home to his farm and do some VERY low flying whilst watching his wife wave sheets at him form the verandah. Then you do 100 hours watching from the jump seat with a plane full of passengers plus another large handful of simulators. Then you get to operate from the Right seat after an experienced FO does the Take off and landing and you watch him like a hawk, with an instructor in the Left seat. THEN you get to do a Route Check and you get to practice on paying passengers just a little bit, but eventually you get to take off and most importantly a landing. After 6 months being critiqued and checked and simulated up the wazoo you are set loose on the unsuspecting passengers! Same routine for each separate type! THEN you get to do ‘Special checkouts after more Sims and not operation FO into dangerous fields like Wellington where you learn what a serious Crodd-wind really means and Queenstown where flying passengers in mountainous alps is a wee bit challenging and even more time to operate amongst high rise buildings approaching Kai Tak in Hong Kong where they actually pay you for legal low flying below city high rise and into fierce cross wind landings on what is a carrier landing onto a runway surrounded on three sides by water. I loved Kai Tak. Would have done it for free!

The US just ensure that their Rare Earths a tied up in National Parks and on Federal Land safe from being used to poison their citizens.!

When I was in college, there was a video they showed of 747 doing a 0G roll.
Another SUV went rogue:
Democrat Governor of Maine Janet Mills’ brother pocketed $22 million into his shell company that was meant for towns in Maine
“A year before she took office, her brother Peter Mills, received $22 million through a shell company called Western Mountains and Rivers Corporation. This company also received 670 acres of land on the Dead River, all courtesy of a company called Central Maine Power.
When Janet Mills assumed office a year later, she immediately approved CMP to clear cut in 145 mile corridor through Western Maine without the endorsement of any of the localities affected, who were all in major disagreement with the decision.
And that $22 million that was supposed to be spent on the towns appears to have been pocketed by this shell company run by Peter Mills, rather than being spent on the people it was actually supposed to.”
“This is a clear example of political corruption in the state of Maine”

Maryland is one of several blue states that have basically passed laws that say whatever California implements, they automatically do as well. There’s supposed to be a complete phase out of gas powered vehicle sales in California by 2035. Existing ones won’t be banned as such, but you won’t be able to buy new ones.

Went to bed at a reasonable time last night, intending to watch Starship take off or explode at 5:30 CT. Woke up at 5:00 CT and thought ” bugger it, I will watch the video later” and went back to sleep.
Woke up at 9 CT and looked for videos, it had not launched yet!
Um the launch is due at 17:30 CT. Not 05:30 CT.

I was in an inter-departmental meeting once and the guy sitting next to me thought it would be fun to run his hand up my leg.
I smacked him so hard he almost fell out of his chair.
His boss – a very nice guy – was apoplectic. Asked me if I wanted to file a complaint with HR. Nah, He learned his lesson. So his boss filed with HR and said one more violation and you are fired with cause.
Asshole left about 2 mos later
Speaking of survival instincts – my husband’s are approaching zero. For the first time in almost a month I was able to cook dinner last night. After I cleaned up the kitchen I collapsed on the sofa for about 2 hours, exhausted.

On a different topic.
I take a look here every few days.
https://www.bst-tsb.gc.ca/eng/enquetes-investigations/aviation/2025/a25o0021/a25o0021.html It is the page for the investigation on the upside down landing.
No report has been issued yet, be damned if I know why, all the chunks of the aircraft are available and so are the two black boxes. ( They are orange. )
Anyway one thing that I saw they added to the initial description of the incident is.
Lucky the aircraft was not completely upside down and it did not catch fire.
@ Possum:
I found and zoomed in on a picture.

LOL, they can run but they cannot hide!
A food post.
Last week I got 4 Good Value personal supreme pizzas and 4 pepperoni pizzas.
To satisfy my occasional crust craving and as they are only $1.17 each then cheaper than getting a $30 pizza delivery.
Well, after the third attempt I got it correct texture and crust wise. They are microwavable in a 1100W oven. I do not have.
Latest attempt texture wise is let it thaw, a couple of minutes in a hot skillet until topping is warm. That is to brown the base crust.
Then green onions cut into slices and topped with 2oz cheddar.
Note, this was first try at the pepperoni ones.
Into the air fryer the 7 inch personal pizza with additions it goes.
20 mins at 250F to get the cheese melted, the onions cooking and the crust to bake more.
Then 5 mins at 400F in air fryer to bubble and toast the cheese!
The result?
It is too fucking salty to eat. Ate half of it and Mr Trash gets the rest.
So, the other three $1.17 Pepperoni pizzas are going to be thrown away. A waste of electricity attempting to make them edible.
Launch aborted at 17:22 That is seventeen o’clock and 22 minutes American time.
Update on the salty pizza. Sorry Walmart, although your mini microwave pizzas are high in sodium ( 1160mg per serving ) I unintentionally maligned your product.
Just had a bland mashed potato and chicken meal and that did not taste of anything. Not a fast food meal, real potatoes and real chicken. Not containing any salt.
And it did not taste of anything, but salt. Taste buds gone on vacation.
So, it looks like I am coming down with a cold or flu or covid or bird flue or ebola.
Same thing as last November.
Interesting thing is given my life style and almost no contact with other humans how does this happen?
CATS!!!!!!! I has cat flu!
@ Possum:
Maybe the cats ate birds that had bird flu

@ lobo91:
Could be.
I do not think I have rabies. Natasha used to go out onto the balcony, then jump onto the apartment roof and catch bats.
Then bring them back and place them on the bed minus their heads.
She thought they were flying mice. But she has not done that for years.
Natasha is still good at catching flying mice, but I think she either got all of them or they decided to do bat things somewhere else.
One thing that is better in the UK than the USA is no rabies. Slightest hint of any animal that is illegally imported or sneaks into the UK is killed, and anything it came into contact with is also killed.
And they let people carrying diseases into the UK, feed them, house them and don’t test them.
Angry.
I live in the USA, at my age I should go back to the UK to die.
Problem is, two cats.
To take them with me is a nightmare but not insurmountable. I have to start the process.
Pet passports, microchips, rabies vaccination, full vaccinations and some way of transporting them on a long flight without them going nuts.
Oh, I looked into flights, fastest is 8.5 hours Singapore airlines Houston to Manchester UK.
Other option is win a few million dollars on Powerball and hire a private jet.
Until any of that happens life carries on as normal.
LOL just did a thingy online at the Singapore airlines site.
$297.00
I think $297 plus maybe $20 to Uber me to the airport is a great deal! Self deporting.
But, what happens to my cats?
So you may all ask why the fuck am I searching for flights from the USA to the UK on a Singapore site?
I used to work in Italy, fly home on Friday, Fly back on Sunday night. To Milan.
Best flight to get on from London to Milan on a Sunday evening was Kenya Airways.
It was a late flight, about a 9pm ( 21:00 ) take off and on the way to Milan which was about 2 hours they served a full meal.
Really good stuff!
When it landed in Milan ( Italy ) I was one of the few people that got off as more passengers bound for Kenya got on.
And yes, most of the passengers on the flights were not pink. And yes there was no violence and twerking.
@ Possum:
Oh dear I lost the plot!
Point was, if you are flying international do not focus on the carriers you think do the flights.
Houston to North England? Who would think of Singapore airlines?
London to Italy? Kenya Airways? You got to be nuts.
So, in conclusion to this rant before I do the sleep thing.
If you pick the right time and an obscure airline and just take a Friday and a Monday off work ( and watch out for time zones, that fucked me twice, I arrived back in the UK on Tuesday not Monday )
You can spend a weekend in another country and place you never imagined you would go for the price of two tanks of gas.
LOL I even did Australia for a long weekend.
@ Possum:
Australia is something you need to concentrate on when going there from the UK.
You leave the UK yesterday and get to Australia tomorrow and then when you get back it it is Friday and you thought it was Wednesday!
@ Possum:
I think my flight from Albuquerque to Mexico City via IAH was around $300. And I stayed in a really nice hotel for $69 a night
@ Possum:
Something you all need to know if ever you go to Australia.
When you flush the toilet the water swirls in the opposite direction to what you are used to.
Do not be scared!
Same thing happens in South Africa.
@ lobo91:
Cheap flights are often available, but the intercontinental flights are insanely low sometimes.
@ Possum:
Well, assuming that you can find a toilet. Or water.
@ Possum:
I was really surprised at the exchange rate, too. When I was in Baja last spring, it was around 16 pesos to the dollar. Now it’s 20.
@ lobo91:
Don’t get me started on exchange rate things!
My pension fund is in the UK. They manage it and invest in things world wide.
Most of the investments are in US companies, so the value of my pension really tracks close to the SNP500 and Dow jones
But, as my pension is in UK pounds and I live in the USA dollar world then when the pound to dollar exchange rate changes it means either I can buy a nice juicy steak or I can’t pay rent.
And into bed we go at 21:10
I has been a long day here for all three of us but the fact Iwent to bed and now using phone and yelled ‘bed time’ means cats are also in bed.
We have a routine. Now we watch car chases on phone for a while.
No crazy frogs tonight
Ok I watch what I spend and I do not spend anything for myself as a luxury hence the $1.17 pizzas
I HAVE to get a cheap tablet or a chrome book. At least a 13 inch one. For the cats.
Phone screen is not big enough any more for the before sleep bed time thing we do.
We just did the Red Arrows thing then cats went off to catch imaginary mice.
And as predicted as I was typing this I kind of sang “it’s a kind of magic” and I now have one cat on my belly making puddings and one on my chest waiting for….
The Red Arrows video. Can’t post the link from my phone but Glen watches it and yells at it while sitting on my leg and I bounce him in time to the music.
