I flew from Stansted on the 21st and was only delayed back to Belfast by about an hour. My younger brother was delayed coming from Gatwick, via Leeds to Belfast by a couple nof hours last night. My uncle was returning from a cruise in the Red Sea and was delayed for about two days in the utter Hell that is Heathrow but he made it back to Belfast yesterday.

Yep, the Singapore Airlines website all looks very normal...gawd, does that mean that I should perhaps start thinking about packing soon?...


.....I'll make some dinner first, then I'll see...




EDKiwi, I'll wave at your relations once in Kiwi-Land.

Well thanks for the idea LM, but why would I want to do that? That man has been shying away from me since he lost a bet.

However, being big about it, I absolve him of any wrongdoing.He is from Antrim after all which must be a burden in itself.

shhh, it's a secret, we have left a few back home to keep the country ticking along while the rest spread out and slowly take over the world (with pies and BBQs), we have a pretty good hold in Aussie and are now working on the UK...but don't tell anyone.


Actually I meet some Polish people on a recent trip away and they said in Poland people say the second bigest city in Poland is London, 1.5 million Poles apparenty (well so they said), I think they have us beat on that one.

While you are on an away day Ed, we Irish have already got a foothold in NZ. Personally, excluding America where we are all over the place (and that's just my family) we have made inroads into France, Italy and Spain (apart from Scout in NZ). Scout has taken over your national broadcasting station and soon the plan will evolve. Don't expect to be aware of it though. Once he presses the button, you and your like will start walking towards the sea and never be heard of again.

There will be no WC win in 2011!

It seems you have made the classic James Bond villian mistake of telling me of your plans of world domination, giving me a chance to stop it Narnia. I'll be sending a coded warning message home shortly, but first I feel an irresistible urge to go for a stroll into the sea.

Anyone know whether LM made it? I've been enjoying the NZ sunshine for the last 4 weeks, very nice indeed down south. Mr Pickle flew out the day before the snow caused chaos, thank goodness. Not looking forward to my return to the UK in early January and the associated weather :'(


Hope you are all having a great festive season!

Hey thanks guys. Hardly any delay...


Spent a fabulous Christmas Day in Singapore and linking up with the forum's mighty Huguenot and his lovely other half - B. Thanks H and B for a (ahem...literally) smashing evening.


It certainly feels good to be out of that wretched snow. Temperature here currently 28 degrees.


Pickle: are you South (as in South Island)? We shall be leaving for the North Island in a few days - may venture South (as in south of the island) but will not be going to the South Island: too much hard work, and something to do next time LOL. Enjoy the rest of your stay and have a safe flight home. Don't forget to pack a bit of sun for the sun-deprived folk of ED.


Well, hope you all had a lovely time and that all of you who have been plagued by colds/flu/snot are feeling much better.


HAPPY NEW YEAR to you all.

      Plumber recommendation - A.F.E Plumbing Services

      By bunnie · Posted

      Second time Aria has completed a plumbing job for me and both times he’s been polite. Communicative, kept to time and completed the job. He’s very helpful and tidy as well. First job was ball valve in water tank, not easy at all. He and his team were fantastic. This time kitchen tap cylinders replaced and tap tightened.  Much appreciated, Aria thank you.

      Albrighton Community Fridge, Dog Kennel Hill

      By AylwardS · Posted

      Thought others may be interested to help a local community centre help others.    My bank account offers roundup and it’s been growing all year. As well as treating myself or putting it towards a train ticket to see my family I’ve made a donation to the Albrighton. They can use donations at any time but I hope my donation will go towards the Christmas hampers.    Can you support them so they can provide Christmas hampers?   https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/albrightoncommunityfridge?utm_id=1&utm_term=M22JKQb6W   A donation of £50 will pay for a hamper to feed a family over this Christmas period. A donation of £30 will pay for a hamper to feed someone living on their own over the Christmas period.

      Xmas lunch at local pubs/restaurants?

      By David Peckham · Posted

      I've never got Christmas pudding. The only times I've managed to make it vaguely acceptable to people is thus: Buy a really tiny one when it's remaindered in Tesco's. They confound carbon dating, so the yellow labelled stuff at 75% off on Boxing Day will keep you going for years. Chop it up and soak it in Stones Ginger Wine and left over Scotch. Mix it in with a decent vanilla ice cream. It's like a festive Rum 'n' Raisin. Or: Stick a couple in a demijohn of Aldi vodka and serve it to guests, accompanied by 'The Party's Over' by Johnny Mathis when people simply won't leave your flat.

      Not miserable at all! I feel the same and also want to complain to the council but not sure who or where best to aim it at? I have flagged it with our local MP and one Southwark councillor previously but only verbally when discussing other things and didn’t get anywhere other than them agreeing it was very frustrating etc. but would love to do something on paper. I think they’ve been pretty much every night for the last couple of weeks and my cat is hating it! As am I !
