Now at Lower Zambezi NP in Zambia. Great low-level flight coming up the Zambezi yesterday.

Saw a leopard with a fresh impala kill and a pride of lions with a fresh buffalo kill on this morning's game drive, which was pretty cool.

Heading to Botswana tomorrow morning.

When did *O become the standard abbreviation for Oneworld? It is not even close.

And CD is chauffer drive? Oh, please....

Amaroo, I'll be up your way in both June and July, so we'll have to organise something

Lets make it happen. Get your schedule settled and I'll be happy to shoehorn in to suit.

*O is the Computer Reservation Systems (CRS, or GDS for lack of semantics) code for oneworld. I don't see it commonly used on frequent flying forums.

As for CD, well that's not common on my books...for me that would be "compact disc" or, if you're an old DOS / Unix schlub like me, "change directory".

Just about to depart Jersey .. where the average age of the islander is ~68 years old :mrgreen:

Don't you just love it when someone reverses into your car ... twice

"Fortunately" it's the hire car I've got while my new car arrives, which is in a few days. It looks to be a scratch on a spot where there was already a defect of some sort marked on the damage report when I was given the car so I'm not sure if this lady was lucky and didn't actually cause any damage, or whether she added to the same spot...! In any case she wasn't willing to give her details which over here the Police tell me is an offence.

I am seeing it quite a lot on AFF. It is confusing.

Now it has been explained it should not be confusing any more ...

Just did my annual look up of unclaimed monies. I found $5,000 for my extended family. Champagne reunion coming up I hope.
Yes Penegal let's do the smarter thingy before our brains start to shrink too much.

There is always something special about beating collingwood. That is all.

Oh, well. Missed the last chance to book an MASA. SWMBO said I wasn't allowed to fly in J. She must be obeyed, so classic award it was......

And to be able to know when enough is enough, especially given your stated life position (unless I have totally grasped the wrong end of the stick, in which case I offer my humble apologies).
