[quote=“Fran, post: 806196, member: 110”]I’ll be amazed if this flight makes it to Amsterdam. The captain just made an announcement which included the following comments

  • our air slot has been pushed out by 20 mins
  • there is currently a technical issue that they are working on
  • they will have to navigate through a number of thunderstorms along the flight path
  • Helena will be flying the plane

And you’ve been on it since July 1st. You’re going to die Fran.

A coveted slot opens up in the TFK Fantasy Football league.

I was the A320 mate. This one to be precise

I have a couple of days bidness in London at the end of August. Our corporate travel agent has provided two hotel options - The Grange St Pauls or the Apex Temple Court. Have had coffee in The Grange before and place looked ok. Both are similar distance from the office so would welcome any advice on selection. eg spare blackberry chargers, corporate rates with local brothels etc

Aer Lingus pfft!!!

I may as well be flying with Ryanair.

  • flight scheduled to depart from Terminal 2, switched to Terminal 1

  • had to walk in the rain from the terminal building and board the plane via steps!

  • no adjustable headrests on the seat which will make it very difficult to get a bit of kip

what type of plane are you on mate?

A320 mate

what’s your views on the best hotel reward scheme to sign up to - have been in SPG and then let it slip and recently in Club Carlson. Worth it in terms of upgrades/rewards etc if I am doing about 20-25 nights a year?

FYI information: I’m on international business this day week and WILL NOT be available for TFK AFC that night.

Classic :clap::clap:

I’ve been in London since Monday and it’s cost me the princely sum of £3.50 so far. If ArtFoley was around he’d be seething that I couldn’t negotiate these multi million pound deals via video conference.

I began what I intended to be a methodical process of acting the bastard to a Dutch based customer following the Champions League draw. I wanted to slowly develop things and ultimately build up to a meeting in November to coincide with the Ajax-Celtic clash. But they’ve shat* themselves already and want to meet in the next 2-3 weeks. This is a disaster.

  • What’s the past tense of “shit”?

Agree the meeting and then a week before cancel (as you’ve obviously got a more pressing engagement) and then propose the Nov dates as an alternative. Simples.

    You were right the first time, pal-shat it is.

Shit is the past tense of shit. i.e. I just had a shit.

No Julio, in this instance, what you should have said is I just did a shit i.e shit is a noun. The past tense of the verb to shit is shat.

That post was a pile of shit.

You just shitted all over my post you bastard.

Red eye to London early in the morning, guys, and a mid afternoon red eye back. I’ll be wearing a shirt with my initials on it and I’ll be deploying counter attack tactics at my meeting. Soak up their pressure and then hit them with my carefully crafted rebuttals delivered in such a way to make it seem off the cuff. But what’ll be on the cuff will be my initials. Oh yes.
