They're not. Half of the population live on kale and are slim. The other half, not so much...

It hadn't occurred to me that it was cold enough for the heating thermostat to kick in, it has and I'm not even there. As it's June I didn't think to put holiday mode on. Thanks to you resurrecting this thread, holiday mode is on. Cheers.

I'm with Sami, OK cooked in a sauce or fresh. On a fry up, absolutely not for me.

Pretty much my renewal scenario.

I had the opposite on Thursday, bloke in a large car/suv but obviously thought he was in an i10. Parked cars all along one side, intermittent the other side. He pulls out of a gap after giving way for the car in front of me. Unfortunately, his car was too large to fit between mine and the parked one into the next gap. Due to cars behind me and now him, no one can go anywhere.

Oh yes, the Drake Shake v Drake Lake gamble will be real

I used to go to Scence Valley reasonably often, they've done a good job creating a pretty nature area. I've not been for a couple of years but assume it's still nice.

Absolutely this. I recently had to fill in many forms whilst in the USA, needless to say my date boxes were all over the place. Why can't they just use the normal, proper format!

1.5 months ahead isn't in advance that's last minute for me We've booked Japan and Korea for June '27 and South America for January '28 already! I work for myself and the OH is retired so, leave isn't an issue for us. If you've an employer with strict leave rules, I can see how it would be more challenging.

You know it's June 2026 now, right? You'd best start packing! One thing to bear in mind with any cruises to Antarctica @FoxesDebit's such a short season, you do need to book early. Especially, if you like to choose a specifc good cabin. The tour package we've booked only had space for 12 more people and the ship had 2 cabins left, at the grade we've booked. Although, if you're happy to arrange your own flights and just do an Antarctica sailing it's not as bad as HAL, Princess and Celebrity all have itineraries. But, not all go to the Antarctica fully. We're going with Azamara and have 3 Antarctica days. I wanted to do a more comprehensive tour to include Machu Picchu, Rio etc, and didn't fancy arranging all that myself for South America so, booked the land/cruise package with the same people that we used for China and India last year. If you are thinking a of the full expedition cruise, I'd recommend sitting down before looking at the prices

Land and cruise for this one. We're doing a week on land in Peru, board the ship in Valparaiso, Chile sail to the Chilean Fjords, Argentina, Antarctica, Falklands, Uruguay and disembark in Buenos Aries. Fly to Iguazu, then on to Rio. We're not doing an expedition cruise so, no hiking up glaciers or kayaking around icebergs. Although, we are on a small ship, circa 550 passengers so, we get to get nice a close to the scenery.

South America and Antarctica booked for 2028. I'm planning well ahead.

Apparently not, he's still President of the USA.... oh, you didn't mean Donny...

I saw a notice yesterday they were due over NW Leics at 18:20, I thought it said tomorrow so, was a bit gutted we missed them when I saw a few comments about them on SM. Glad to hear it's tomorrow as well.

I've been on lots of cruises, including the Norwegian Fjords, one of my favourite cruises. Not sailed with P&O, though.

I don't mind when I'm abroad and it's this hot, main because I'm on holiday, by a pool, with a cold beer. Not actually having to do stuff.

At least that's usually only £1. Much worse when you're in the US and the terminal suggests an 18 or 20% tip. No thanks.

Tried and failed miserably.

You can update delivery preferences in your account. They don't take any notice. I have a safe place listed in mine, stuff still gets left on the doorstep. I complain to the regularly about it.

Yes, I've used an Airalo one a couple of times. Basically, you install it before you travel and then in your phone settings, once you arrive you tell your phone to use the esim for data. There's instructions here. https://www.airalo.com/blog/why-airalo-what-our-users-are-saying-about-us I've bought the set amount on data ones but other companies do unlimited ones, which are more expensive. We went to Senegal in February, the esim was expensive so we bought a local sim card at the airport. You could always do that.

Thanks. Discharged from hospital today. Just need to get home now. Hopefully Air Canada are sorting our flights for Saturday now. ETA we're booked to fly Seattle/Toronto and then London on Saturday Assuming no further medical issues! I do have to say the US ER and then general hospital were very, very efficient. I dread to think of the treatment costs though.

One of our first cruises, way back, went to Dominican, Puerto Rico, US and BVI. Unfortunately, I can't really recall what we did. I know we loved Puerto Rico. We did a coffee tour and walked the walls. I think we're going to one of the ABC on our November trip. We're currently away so, I can't check back on the itinerary plans. We were meant to be in Toronto yesterday and at Niagra Falls today, unfortunately, we're in a Seattle hospital, the OH has been unwell. Praying the travel insurance is robust

Equally, eating said buffet food before sitting down. Don't stand at the buffet eating you peasants.

Just finished a week sailing in Alaska, absolutely stunning. Americans are an odd bunch but the scenery is outstanding.

Just sailed through the Panama Canal, a fascinating experience.
