The bloody ste they put on web sites, this classic from BA, its one of the conditions of a return flight UK to Seattle, anyone like go have a guess. I think it means, "You can't go home the day you arrive", but I could be wrong.

Now that makes perfect sense to me. So you fly in Monday, cant fly out until next Monday earliest,(7 days later) but if you fly in Saturday, you can still fly out on the Monday (2 days later).................

Wonder how couriers get on then? anythanks for clarification.

That would make sense if it said "Sun." - but it says "sun", which could be a problem if the same rule applies inside the Arctic Circle. I read it as a way of saying you can't fly out again until after the next sunrise.

No. After next Saturday. So Sunday is the earliest you can fly out.

Compulsory Saturday night stays have been commonplace since forever; they are used by the travel industry to separate business and holiday travellers.

Excessive use of SHOUTY CAPITALS on that site doesn't help much either - the absence of the full stop strongly suggests that "sun" or "SUN" should not be read as an abbreviation by any anyone with more than the most basic grasp of the english language.

Socks.

I have no girlfriend whose house I stay at (no one would take me), I don't go the gym (can't afford it), I don't go on holiday (at all) & I'm not senile (yet).

So how the fk do I have eight odd socks!!!

They go from my washbag, to the washing machine, to the airing cupboard and then back to the sock drawer. How the fk can I possibly have lost eight socks!!! I've cleared everything out of the airing cupboard, I have checked every non sock clothing draw, under the bed, behind the heaters, in my suitcases, everywhere.

Where the fk have eight socks gone!!!!

Thank you for letting me share.

Could it be your butler is stealing them and selling them to a naked Tunisian sock merchant?


Pince Regent: "Socks! Run out of them again! Why is it no matter how many millions of pairs I buy I never seem to have any?"

Blackadder: "Sir, with your forgiveness, there is another even weightier problem."

Prince Regent: "They just disappear! Honestly you'd think somebody was coming in here, stealing them and selling the damn things off!"

Blackadder: (Nervously laughs and looks to the floor) "Impossible Sir! Only you and I have access to your socks."

Prince Regent: Yes, yes, you're quite right, still, to me socks are like sex - tons of it about but I never seem to get any!"

Agreed. All my new ones vanish, leaving me with the same old ones.

Some of us prefer functionality to looks good, feels good, smells good.

Well how do you work that out? how is it more functional? it sounds just bloody awful, but I guess being an 'alternative theropist/quack' you are qualified to pass this sort of judgement. its the bloody agricultural racket that get me, drives me nuts.
