Have you any flights?

SPOT ON

I must add my thank you to the BA volunteers on my flight back from Cape Town on Sunday night. Cabin crew did admirably! The volunteers made such light work of this trip I hope they are on all my return flights to London - the flight was a breeze.

So many thanks to all the BA volunteers and regular staff that make our flights possible during this period. Please keep up the good work. Your travelling public really appreciate your sterling efforts!

comfy and stylish - dresses and lingerie for the smart traveller

Looking at the latest post on this travel blog - found by searching the living TV for Travel blog pages was a reminder to begin thinking about summer fashions - what will be going on the lovely ladies this year - by focusing on the shopping facilities at Dubai Airport

Summer Dresses

Summer dresses will of course be light and breezy - the popular high street stores already have the seasons dresses

Hot Lingerie

Thought has to be given toward the styles and types of material used for warm weather lingerie. Soft thin cotton spring sto mind but some luxurious lingerie ranges in natural fibres like silk can be esecially cooling during the day but raise the temperature later in the evening.

Monte Carlo - By Car

France - perfect for hiring a car and following the race

Grab a hire car in France and let’s Monte Carlo or bust!

Do you ever get bored by the usual 2.4 children package holidays? Have you had enough of Majorca, Shagaluf and the Costa del Brit? I know I have and that’s why this year I’m planning something different, something a bit more special – something with a tint of class to it.

I’ve always wanted to go on a road-trip and this year I’m determined to do it! Yep I’m going to hire a car and hit the open road. Our last holiday was nice, and as relaxing as it can get with two young children running around screaming, but it wasn’t very personal or special, it was your run of the mill all-inclusive trip to southern Spain.

This year I’m determined to have a truly continental experience, instead of the usual fortnight in a holiday park with karaoke and talent contests. So to make life a bit more exciting, I’ve decided to base our family holiday on a film, and that film is Monte Carlo or Bust!

Now if you haven’t seen the film then it’s clear that you’ve led a woefully ignorant life and you should stop whatever you’re doing right now and go and watch one of the greatest comedy films of all time! The plot of the film revolves around a big race to Monte Carlo organised by the amazing Terry-Thomas to satisfy a bet with his rival, played by Tony Curtis. As the competitors journey across France a huge amount of skulduggery, cheating, diamond stealing, mishaps and overall comedy ensues, most of it played by some of the true comic greats such as Eric Sykes, Peter Cook, Dudley Moore and the French genius Bourvil.

Car Hire France

So in a wave of nostalgia and in an attempt to break away from the usual half board holidays I have decided to drag my family through the winding French lanes, all the way to the bright lights of Monte Carlo. Most trips of this type start in London, and so will ours, but to make things a little varied I’ve decide to fly into Paris and spend a few days milling around the French capital smoking cigarettes, drinking coffee and wearing a beret. Once I’ve eaten enough croissants it will be time to arrange our car hire France and head off to our second destination.

After Paris we will head south and stop at Troyes and then Dijon. After Dijon we will head up into the Alps and take a small side-trip into Switzerland to visit Lake Geneva, which I’ve heard is stunning. Then we will head back to France continue on down south to Grenoble, followed by Saint Andre Les Alpes until we finally hit the Mediterranean and the bright lights of Monte Carlo.

The whole trip is going to take about 3 weeks, after all there really is no point in rushing, holidays are all about relaxing and taking it all in, let’s just hope the hire car makes it across france!

Man and a Van

Man and a van for hire

Adverts for man and van - hire a man hire a van

Van Hire - With Man

Careful when you select to hire a van with a man - the man with the van could be a white van man and that spels T R O U B L E

Whit van man has no real sense of humour - "'ere Muppet get a license" is the sort of chant he'll offer whilst wrecklessly speeding down busy residential roads.

But write a joke on his dirty van and he'll FAIL to see the funny side.

"I wish my missus was as dirt as this" - Yeah well she is he'll rhetort,

"Also available in white" - You callin' me a racialist??

Tickets Events Tickets Charity Events Tickets

All I see is tickets but not for charity events.

Looks like it will be a brilliant year for big events judging by the number of ticket offers posted on the site at the moment but few appear to support charity

Charity Events

Few of the big healdine acts appear to be charity events which is disappointing and pityful bearing in mind the appearance of these "stars" on so called celebrity chat shows who always seem to slip in the charity work they selflessly do.

I'm especially keen on seeing some of the rugby six nations and was intrigued to read that in an attempt to lure gullible punters to enjoy what is percieved as a rough sport ticket agencies are employing girlie men to simper and pant whilst overcharging for poor quality seats.

Men in dresses

The term "metrosexual" has bandied about for some time now, though I don't think I've seen many men wearing lace. Skirts aren't the norm per se, though I did see several fellows sporting an extremely streamlined version of a utility kilt this summer though nearly all of them wore beards as well as a counterbalance.

trends in Japan that are nothing short of extreme. Among other things there has been an explosive increase in the number of unmarried Japanese men in their late 20's and 30's. To me it is all quite simple: They are going gay.
