Something completely new for me 2 weeks on Thursday; I go to Zanzibar. I've got very little travel in Africa under my belt (nothing beyond 1 visit to each of Morocco, Tunisia and Egypt), so very much looking forwards to heading further south in that continent. Absolutely pissing it down there...

He might be exaggerating the figures involved slightly, but you can get very good deals for cruises when sailing in low or off season. MSC run some very cheap cruises over the winter period, P&O sometimes too. Having status always helps to get upgrades/credit etc but a lot of ships will sail...

Journee crop up on my social media all the time. Never used them, and never will....ridiculously pricey (almost £500pp minimum for a short break) and very gimmick heavy from what I can tell. Just get the other half/family member/friend to arrange a trip if you wanna go somewhere without...

A week tomorrow I'm over to Vegas for the 8th time, for my mates stag do and wedding. 4 nights in Vegas followed by a couple of nights in Palm Springs. Not been Stateside in 4 years, and I'm told it's noticeably more expensive in this post Covid world. The £ vs $ being shite really doesn't...

No worries....they used to offer 15% off flights but have since reduced that down to 10%, perhaps it was getting mixed up with that? I'm always amazed the £120/£100 vouchers they offer for members don't have a minimum spend attached to them. As you've seen, you can get some incredible deals...

Correct about the 10% off flights for Jet2 members (Jet2 flight only is notoriously expensive though), however 15% off their packages absolutely isn't true; in fact I've never seen it in all the time I've been a Jet2 member, which is many many years now.

Thankfully managed to swerve all this ATC chaos, and landed back from Podgorica as scheduled today. Found Montenegro to be a fascinating place; much more green and mountainous than I imagined, and definitely somewhere I'll return to in the future and see much more of the country. Budva is very...

Great servant for us, and I don't begrudge him his move to Saudi Arabia. In some respects he's quite unlucky that Ake stepped up his game so much last season, and that Akanji slotted in seamlessly. Either of those don't happen and he might still be playing for us this season. Whilst on the...

After a lean couple of months (damn school holiday prices), back on the holiday saddle this weekend with a trip to Budva for 3 nights....need somewhere for the Sheff Utd game if anyone knows of a decent place. That's then followed by Kos/Bodrum in September, Vegas/Palm Springs for my mates...

Imagine being so thick and/or bigoted that you actively want to strip yourself of human rights.

No offence taken :) Plenty to think about, although I try not to think about it.

My mate got one done during the first lockdown. Think he went somewhere like Dewsbury, paid about £6k for it. Looks pretty good, but of course there are no guarantees when doing things like this. Also, it requires quite a lot of after care....wish it was a case of procedure done and crack on...

I'm in a similar, albeit not quite as extreme, situation. 36, and like to think I've always had a relatively high hairline/an extremely slow recede. In the last year or so, really started to notice it retreating even further back, either side of the fringe. Fortunately it's just receding, for...

The BBC did an interesting (for want of a better expression) on Huckle. It was inevitable he was gonna end up murdered inside; Full Sutton houses some of the worst of the worst. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p05gh2kb As others have said, it's surprising it's taken this long for someone to...

Assuming you're tied to school holidays, have a look at Easyjet Holidays. They sometimes have some very good prices across Europe for peak dates. Olympic Holidays can be good for deals to Greece too.

''With every application of Brexit, it's the same; we gain nothing, we lose lots''. Nail, meet head.

Classic Heil as well, trying to infer that it's just us Brits being penalised by the big, nasty EU.....when in reality the visa system being introduced will impact any country deemed a ''3rd country''. Because we voted to make our lives harder for ourselves. Because we are a nation of...

We need more Chris Hale's and significantly less (ideally none) Farage's.

Why is it appalling? Great cast, screenplay (Alan Ball is a genius), subtle dark humour in abundance, an incredible debut feature from Sam Mendes. No wonder it swept up at the Oscars that year.
