What airline does that?

I have just recently flown with a certain LCC from London Stansted to Boston via Rejkavick and they are now charging extra for luggage to go into the overhead lockers. They have 2 of those luggage frames at check-in desks and again at the boarding gate. 1 frame is used to test luggage dimensions for the overhead locker and a smaller frame is used for luggage that should fit under the seat in front of the passenger. They were rigidly enforcing this requirement at both positions (Check-in and again at Boarding Gate) and anyone who had not prepaid for hand luggage/overhead compartment were being charged 90 Euros.. There were arguments all over the place and the flight was delayed by over an hour because of this nonsense..

My State Pension has now moved higher than the tax-free allowance (£12,570) following this Years increase of 8.5% On my Notice of Coding for 2024/25. the treatment for tax purposes of my State Pension remains untouched ie the excess has not been taxed DIRECTLY , but I have been given a K-- code , which means that the tax that I should have been deducted from the State pension is deducted from a secondary pension that I receive. The secondary pension then is first taxed as per normal ie -20%. The remainder is then taxed using the K-- code/12 as it is paid Monthly. I do not know what would happen if one is only in receipt of the State Pension , but by the looks of it , it would appear that the tax would be held as a debt owing to HMRO.

Flying next week London Stansted to Boston and they are charging for use of overhead lockers , that must be a first , your carry-on baggage must be able to fit under the seat in front of you to avoid being charged extra..

already the case with airasia flights from KL or BKK to Sapporo.

Nice one..🤣

Just waiting for the avatar now , my money's on Sir Les Patterson or Crocodile Dundee

When I go out for an early morning run , I take this light from my bike with me and set it to strobe. I have been using this device for over 5 years now and it works a treat on aggressive dogs , they cannot help but stare at the flashing light and are , of course temporarily blinded. I have become so used to running with this that I don't even have to break my running stride whenever I encounter any dogs .. IMG_0084.mov

it is now , just checked..

Hi , Plenty of the old style circular fluorescent bulbs available on Lazada.

Firstly , apologies if this has been asked before , did check , but found nothing.. I will be arriving at Phuket International Airport from Kuala Lumpur in April and would like to know if there is a fast track lane through passport control for the over 70's. I have found , through this site , that they have such a thing at BKK. Last time I arrived on this flight a few Months ago , I had a wait of over an hour and don't think I could go through that again at my age. Did a lot of searching for this information , but all I could find were some kind of dodgy looking sites charging a steep fee , for so called priority service.

Why Japan , perhaps she was looking for a genius for companionship ... 🤣

Why is she wearing a pomelo on her head?

My daughter , when she was just a toddler, learnt this song at nursery school and would sing this everywhere and to everyone for a period , the funniest , when she once broke into song and entertained the people waiting in line , whilst we were waiting in the queue at the supermarket checkout..

Kookaburra sits on the old gum tree, Merry merry king of the bush is he. Laugh, Kookaburra, laugh, Kookaburra, Gay your life must be! Kookaburra sits in the old gum tree Eating all the gumdrops he can see Stop, Kookaburra, Stop, Kookaburra Leave some there for me. Kookaburra sits in the old gum tree, Counting all the monkeys he can see Stop, Kookaburra, Stop, Kookaburra, That's no monkey, that's me.

Beigel Bake in Brick Lane , Salt Beef Beigel with Gherkin and Mustard that make your eyes water , with a cup of Tea , so strong that you can stand your spoon up in.

yeah! , yeah! , we get it , Mr. Panya stopped at a red light whereupon Mr. Prawet allegedly approached him and shot him multiple times , but no mention what the victim was wearing at the time , very poor reporting..

Perhaps they mistook the airport for Walmart..

I have heard tell , that they have competent fully trained technicians in Pago Pago ...

These worked well for me on my recent visit to Japan. Salomon SpeedCross5 with Evadict gaiters. My daughter recommends Salomon Winter Cross Spike , which she covers 5km daily on , going to and from work in snowy & icy conditions.

are you sure? , better check again , just to be on the safe side , here use my calculator...

Yes , good idea to buy in bulk , if it is not effective for the purpose you intend to use it for , at least you can rest assured that you will be protected from contracting covid-19 for many years to come..

Here’s how it all looked on the table , nothing particularly fancy , but tasty all the same..
