  3. It went way past my bedtime and I'm only 63 (just).
  4. We towed the caravan there a good few years back. Camping Joker. We remember it with affection.
  5. Sometimes in a safety-critical situation nothing else will work, but now that I'm old I wish I hadn't.
  6. Rose to a crescendo.
  7. I once paid a few quid to choose my seat on a Flybe trip to Dublin. On the return there were only a handful of us on the plane and because of the lumpy weather the captain made us all sit under the wings. I never got my money back.
  8. The last time I flew with Easyjet two years ago the ordinary bods were queuing at the gate an hour before boarding.
  9. There's a big queue.
  10. Works for me.
  11. On Virgin Media all the BBC Olympic channels are grouped above sports. The cycling yesterday was 522.
  12. Try hitting the ball with the metal end.
  13. That was negotiated away when we were desperate for money.
  14. Not a chance.
  15. Ticks all the boxes.

  20. Anything happened yet?

  22. 'basically' - what's wrong with 'quintessentially' ? 'proactive' - hate it with a vengeance. The word is 'active' 'team GB' - purlease, this is not the US of A.
  23. The cash equation is unlikely to be in our favour, and I could have enjoyed it all the same if,say, the French were doing it.
  24. So indirectly HMRC would be subsidising them again!
