I heard it but was stuck in a conference call so missed it
Really clear skies too so would have been a great photo opp
It actually flew in to Prestwick on Wednesday night (as per plane spotters thread) to pick up an engine part bound for Helsinki then back out to Manchester today to pick up a heavy load for Cuba via Gander in Canada.
...btw that thing usually has a crew of 4 to fly it!

Enjoy Dilli - are you allowed butter? Not the same without it. Hope it's a short stay.

It comes with butter - although this mornings toast looks like it was done in a nuclear reactor!

Marmite toast without the real thing isn't worth having IMHO. Pity about all the carbon - maybe you should show the catering staff this:

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
I've just bought a bottle of Chase Potato Vodka, which works out to £60 a litre, nearly 3 time the price of standard Grain Vodka :O

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
Store itself was great, but when you have to be part of a 2 person team going back and recounting stuff that someone else did on 1 tag instead of on 5 like she should have done, then you get why I was a bit peeved by the end.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
You've only got to Google Vodka blind tasting test to see that it isn't worth paying over the odds for vodka. If you're willing to pay out over the odds then you might as well get a decent single malt and get a better tasting experience from it. Brands like Grey Goose never come out anywhere near the top and yet people fall for the marketing.

While it is nice to get away it's also very nice to come home.
