Unfortunately I could not get enthused by the exhibition and I was fully clothed at all times.

Well there is the problem right there!

Did everyone over 50 have their shingles shot?

I plan to take my parents to the GP for the their Shingles shot in November, IIRC when the shot is available for free.

Can't say I ever tried myself, but next time I hit a diner for breakfast I shall try the 'biscuits and gravy' just for novelty sake! :shock:

They are delicious!!! Love having them on AA for breakfast. I eat them with butter and jam - dunno if that's 'acceptable' or not but yummy!

I'll try these in the States over the next fortnight.

I thought I recently saw a Velocity referral bonus. Can't find the details. Anyone else? Or did I imagine it?

There was some sort of "referral" bonus recently where if you referred someone to join Velocity (i.e. new member), you received points for it. I believe it was a targeted thing; some got a paltry 10,000 points for 10 referrals, whereas others got 50,000 for the same effort.

Then, of course, you still have the persisting sign up and referral bonuses for the American Express Velocity Platinum credit card.

Could you replace your driver?

R11s are an old model. We'll see what Bangkok Airways offers. Looks like bag was dropped and dragged along.

Biscuits and gravy ! YUK ! I like southern food but along with biscuits and gravy add to my dislike list grits and collard greens. :shock:

Am I the only one who does not find the food in that photo appetising, mrs.dr.ron? (apart from you)

But replace with whipped butter and jam and it starts to be more appealing
