April 26th, 2012Friends Douglas and Gillian decided to get married – the decision, like all good decisions, was contemplated and made jointly and the result was an April wedding in Dundee, Scotland.

30 minutes spent online trying to sort a flight itinerary out to attend a mate’s wedding in Scotland in April. Worked (finally) all the connections and which day Etihad flew to Birmingham or Aberdeen etc. Finally got an itinerary sorted, pressed the button that takes you through to actually booking and paying for [...] There was an article in the Australian Business Traveller reporting on Tony Webber, an ex-Qantas economist who was suggesting in the Sydney Morning Herald that Qantas should levy an extra charge on passengers who, shall we say, are more fulsome of figure … OK, fat folks! “People who weigh more should pay more to fly [...] Reader’s will know I have a strong attachment to Mongolia so look for opportunities to promote the country and to dispel some of the false impressions we may have of Mongolia and the Mongols from our upbringing and reading such historical source material as W.E. Johns’ Biggles books. I do from time to time [...] Readers of Thomo’s Hole will know that Thomo is partial to the odd burger.

I also promised that I’d post this picture of Thomo, relaxed, with the lake and the volcano in the background.

2 people had their say - be the next! |  Print This Post |  Email This Post |  I travel. I have travelled recently to Singapore and the Philippines a couple of times. I have used ATMs against my debit card to draw cash whilst overseas. The Commonwealth Bank of Australia (CBA) has finally managed to bamboozle me on the fees until I sat down and worked it all out. The first thing [...] Tags: Australia, banks, cba, commonwealth bank, fees, travel |
One comment so far | Print This Post | Email This Post | I’ve just had to take my second business trip to Singapore this month. Whilst it is a little frustrating being away from the toy soldiers (I had a mind to do some painting), I can’t complain. During the evening, it’s 29 degrees and I’m enjoying a Burger and some Beer. Heaven. Back home on the [...] Tags: beer, Burger, General, travel |
