    Thomas Cook in a 752. Their standard allowance is 15kg but we topped it up to 20kg. Don’t get me started on seat pitch 🙁

    Got stung last week BHX-FUE. 4 kilos over and largely the OH’s stuff. £7/kg outbound and it’s €11/kg return. One tip we learnt. Cut down on toiletry quantities or buy locally – liquids are heavy. Carry heavy non-liquid items, e.g. shoes and books in hand luggage. Prepare to have hand baggage inspected when organic items e..g paper shows up on the detector. No Sir, it isn’t Semtex 🙂

    Coming back, I packed with no scales and got spot on 20kg.

    I also wonder how the scales are calibrated and who regulates that. I noted that after the couple behind us checked in, the scales at BHX were registering a mass with nothing there!

    Finally does it really matter for the odd kilo? Okay so if everyone went majorly over on a flight maybe, Load sheets are filled out with standardised masses for pax and baggage. At least iirc from ATPLs, but Dean will likely correct me 😉

    Owning land and the lease are two different things. Often for local and regional airports the council owns the land whilst a private companies operates the leasehold.

    Agreed be friendly, yourself and flirty if the situation allows. Had a tremendous first date last Feb and still seeing the same lady. She had some dates prior and it sounded like the OH had a few oddballs!

    Is it me or has there been a bloom in white 08 plate Fiestas, particularly STs? Is white the new silver?

    As SOC says, you need to know the router and log onto it. This is usually done via a web browser. You may be thinking how do I do this? If the router was provided by your provider, then their website should have instructions on how to. If the router was not, identify your router’s make and model then look on the manufacturer’s website

    Read this for terminology

    WEP type security is often thougth of as being poor. There is also another downside in that they wireless access keys can be stupidly wrong and in hexadecimal code. WPA is stronger and it is permissible to use an access key that is more meaningful, though don’t make it anything someone can guess. Next door have just got wireless with WPA security and are Liverpool mad… 😉

    I contracted recently as an Admissions Officer for a college so I would say GCSE’s is an incorrect use of an apostrophe, something which I corrected in the mailings.

    Anyway well done all, you deserve it 😎
