He was a master of control and once said of a line out, "I'm straighter than that" he was ahead of his time.

They think it’s all over? Well it’s not for Wales football. The lads done the Country proud yesterday.

I'm not interested in football at all but couldn't help noticing this headline - so an historic moment for Welsh Football..

World Cup 2022: Celebrations as Wales qualify after 64-year wait

It seems they had to draft in younger players as those waiting64 years were all asleep.

In advance... apologies to all blondes.

These lads will do well in life.

Undecided about this lot

Agreed...

The moral of that post is that doing anything on the cheap comes with risks and that remaining in control of travel plans, with a "Plan B" is always the best policy.

And with the constant news of delays, cancellations and disruption, who travels without a few days buffer of a vital medication like insulin?

Not the sharpest tool in the box.

One thing that puzzles me is the deliberate over booking based partly on the expectation of some not turning up. It is basically filling every seat to maximise profit at the expense of not taking some.
A mate used to fly to his place in Spain. Chatting to crew they said about 70% filled was breakeven with the other 30% profit. People coming home with no deadline would turn up to see if there were empty seats. If not come back next day. Cost was a fraction of pre-booked rates.
We haven't been on fly holidays for years. Never liked the cattle herding process. We have cruised out of Southampton many times and go there the day before on a cruise/park deal that hotels do. Taxi included to the ship and back to the hotel post cruise.So much more relaxed. The last fly/cruise was fly to Capetown for a return cruise. Heathrow was ok as Cunard are superbly organised.
