  1. There's no way of knowing. It doesn't look like the weather will change much before the end of the week and the volcano is still spouting so the only way that aircraft will operate is if the restrictions are lifted and that would probably only be a partial lifting. After that the prioritisation of passengers wll be down to the airlines so I would expect frequent flyers, First and Business to have a better chance. There is bound to be disruption for at least a further week after full restoration, in my opinion.
  2. The late decision by Lowe is the most important factor, but the team could also have won those enough points last season for the 10 points to have been applied then and not carried over.
  3. Just ask for £50 extra from anyone who wanted to go. For North American & Caribbean flights keep below 12,000 ft for the first hour and Bob's your mother's brother.
  4. The Orient Express stopped going to Istanbul years ago. It stops at Venice now.
  5. Results are far more important than performances at the moment. We've won the last four. Why not the next?
  6. He was spotted in the Marriott Portsmouth this morning going into the sports/gym area. Is he appearing locally?
  7. There's a company in Park gate in the industrial units near the station. They do bespoke woodwork for windows, doors etc. Beacon Joinery Unit 7 Park Gate Business Centre Chandlers Way Unit 7 Park Gate Southampton, SO31 1FQ 01489 579 248
  8. Wash your mind out with soap and water! [-X
  9. I think it's more a case of 'we won't let you play in our League until somebody has paid all the football-related debts. Imagine if one of your customers had defaulted on you owing you millions and then came back as a different company under a slightly different name. Would you still give them the same trading terms and prices?
  10. How does this relate to the 'Statement of Affairs' which in itself must be a legally accepted document?
  11. Indded. They have probably 'claimed back VAT' that they haven't actually paid, and probably never will!
  12. If the money is already due to the agents and they have submitted invoices then the VAT element would already have been included in the net amount owing to HMRC, that is they would already have 'claimed it back'. It depends on the tax point which must be very close to the date of supply of the service.
  13. You're not wrong. Didn't Birmingam go straight back up?
  14. Subject to ratification at a meeting in June, I believe. Almost all the Fotball League would be against it, surely?
  15. So why didn't the BA staff bring forward their strike to today?
  16. You'll get less wet if you take the ferry across instead of the train ;-)
  17. I have a holiday on that weekend that we booked last year, so I can categorically state that we shall reach the final.
  18. Please don't think that it's a question of whether or not you'll get a disease of some sort. The damage is cumulative in all sorts of ways, arterial damage, skin damage, lungs to name but a few. I debated this years ago with my business partner and he said: 'but nobody can point a finger at you and say that you will get lung cancer'. He died 7 years ago next August at the age of 64. From lung cancer. On the general point of universal health treatment, this is a fundamental problem throughout the NHS, deciding who, out of the many deserving causes, should get treated from what will always be limited resources.
  19. Just heard on the radio: Dear Iceland, we said 'please send more cash'.
  20. Apparently it's too high to see but we could have some red sunsets over the next couple of days.
  21. We once supplied a training simulator to the Danish Army. On their firing ranges they are not allowed to shoot at anything which is shaped like a human being so they shoot at red triangles. The officer involved said that so long as the Russians invaded wearing red triangles all would be ok.
  22. Perhaps they all smell? Just a thought...
  23. 'It's not enough to succeed. Others have to fail'. Gore Vidal
  24. Watch out for the volcanic ash.
