Another rant about my ISP. WHSmith Net has been discontinued because the company providing the service has gone bust so everything has been transferred to the company that runs Breathe. I still cannot get through to them about my payment details (which are due to expire next week) and now it takes ages to even connect to the internet. I can’t wait to be able to switch provider, I just wish that Virgin did a Daytime or Off Peak package like I had with WHSmithNet.

Here are mine. On 16th June I flew from Manchester to Dublin with Aer Lingus on a BAe 146 EI-?TM (great flight thanks to Captain Siobhan). On 19th June I flew from Dublin to Manchester on Aer Lingus BAe 146 EI-CLG.
On 1st September I shall be flying from London City to Antwerp with VLM on a Fokker 50 (wonderful, wonderful, wonderful airline). On 10th September I shall be flying from Antwerp to London City with VLM on a Fokker 50.

I agree wholeheartedly Kabir. I, for one, am glad to see the back of him. Maybe now our media can concentrate on more important things in the news and we won’t have his wife and brats rammed down our throats on a daily basis.

I am sick of my ISP – WHSmithnet. I’ve had no end of trouble with call charges being added which shouldn’t be, I finally get that sorted and then I need to give them my new card details before the end of June, but can I hell as like get through to them!!!! Every time I phone them I get the usual silly music and every few seconds “your call is important to us, please continue to hold”. I still haven’t managed to actually talk to anyone.

Heathrow is a good airport in terms of airlines and varieties of types, but it is not the easiest place for viewing and video. Manchester is easy for both video and photography. London City is an undiscovered dream, a real gem of a place witha good internet cafe on the ground floor.

In half an hour I shall be setting off to Manchester and tomorrow I shall be flying to Dublin on Aer Lingus BAe 146:)

Comet,
Just a question. Would you be interested in seeing VLM operating the Fokker 70? Would be lovely to see them operating a jet 🙂

I have a lot of time for VLM. Seems like a good little airline with optimistic growth. Over the last few years they have expanded steadily with a profit yet at the same time have retained an excellent service with a regional outlook.

The new VLM Rotterdam-London City-Guernsey-Jersey-Zurich route will come as great benefit especially for connections on Swiss plus to tourism also.

Yes Saab, I would definitely like to see VLM operate the Fokker 70, I am only surprised that they have remained jet-free for so long, their flights are very popular and having a jet would help them to expand both routes and passenger numbers. I don’t know how they would go on at LCY with a jet though, the only jets there are the one owned and operated by the airport itself and then the BAe 146/Avro RJs which the airlines fly in. It would do well on their routes to and from the Channel Islands and Manchester to Antwerp/Rotterdam. They are a superb airline and deserve to do well, and they bring alot of potential for growth into smaller airports, which can only be good for local economies I think.
