How very council.

I bought a new goretex jacket last week. It hasn't rained since!

The Intercontinental hotel I am visiting this week have discontinued the club lounge in their hotel.
It has been replaced with a "Club Experience" for where there is no separate room. They are even suggesting they can somehow charge for it.
I shall be putting them straight when I get there.

I got salt water on my new Italian-made suede loafers in Cannes earlier this afternoon while travelling back to the dock from a superyacht. Really not very happy about that.

That's FA - I bought mine for Silverstone and the British GP - look at the summer we have had.

I have written to Michael Fish to complain.

Serves you right, suede loafers in the afternoon, you cad.

Today I travel to Singapore, I have a connection in Helsinki. I'm borderline going to cancel the whole trip as my first flight is not a flatbed seat, but (and you won't belive this) a reclinging seat. Stupid A320.

I'm not sure how I'll cope for 2h55m being upright.

The only redeaming part of the whole trip is on the return from Helsinki to London will have a flatbed. That and the timing for the office visit and the F1 *pops grandstand tickets in suitcase*

I hope you mean Castle Howard. Anything less would basically be camping.

Firstly I’m having to quote myself. How demeaning.
Secondly if anyone knows where we can attain poached eggs for less than €25 a shot in either Cascais or Estoril will earn a virtual Château Lafite.
Didn’t go to plan

Did you mean 'obtain' (rather than attain) ?

My other half has set me a goal to find her poached eggs.
Most menus only indicate fried or scrambled.
I am seeing if I can attain my goal by enlisting PHers’ help.

Now - I’m fking off back to my sun lounger for a mojito.
If you can help, great, if you can’t help would you mind fking off back to dictionary corner.

By the way: why the parentheses?

Brace yourself for it - for clarification.

Enjoy the Sun and good luck not shelling out.

That reminded me of an internal flight we took in Australia. My 4 year old daughter burst into tears when she was told that her chair on this flight didn't turn into a bed.

I had a similar experience recently with our 6 year old. She wouldn't accept the explanation that I could not book extended leg room tickets as she was too young to be seated near the emergency exit. Different world - I took my first flight when I was 23.
