It does happen. My mate got knocked over by a tank.

Johnny I love an immigrant that loves this country. I like all decent immigrants that make an effort to benefit this country.I've had a giant union jack on my chimney for the past 4 years and nobody complained.
I think my neighbours just love the fact that an immigrant loves this country.

Mrs Mottie had her shingles jab on Thursday. Still saying her arm is hurting. Wimp!Been to Docs for jabs, shingles & typhoid
I love a good lounge before a flight. Virgin through them in, or did last time we flew with them.Just signed up (again) for another Amex Gold card. £195 a year but only payable from the second year on (when I will cancel before payment is due). Loads of benefits but the 'catch' is that you don’t get the benefits again if you rejoin within 24 months of cancelling so you have to time your applications. This will be my 3rd one - me and Mrs Mottie alternate. Main benefit for me will be the 4 free lounge access passes that I’ll use when going on my cruise this year. 2 out and 2 back. Gatwick lounge is a bit of a café but the Malta one is ace. Last time we went there the departures lounge was like this:

But the lounge was like this:

You can just see Mrs Mottie having a cuppa - I was off getting some alcohol down me neck. They have a veranda too where you can sit outside and watch the planes come and go. I think it’s €45pp entrance fee now but completely freeeee. For meeeeee!
* Never noticed this before but in both of those pictures, someone is giving me the evil eye.![]()
I might have a look at the gold card for next year though.
Thank you! I’ll have a look over the weekend. If I get one, do you have a referral code ?Worth it for the first (free) year only, especially if you have a large purchase coming up. Apart from the lounge passes, if you spend £3k in the first 3 months you get 20,000 points. Can be converted to Avios points which can be converted to nectar points plus a few more benefits. Refer a friend and you get even more points as well as them getting the benefits.

WimpRewiring a mates house since 6am this morning, upstair lightinhg and uspstair sockets done, plastered all back boxes. Roasting hot day and hard graft, we went to the pub for a drink afterwards and I guzzled down a few bottles of zero alchohol, wasn't so bad as I was dry as hell. A pint of cider and off home. Same again at 6 am in morning. I wished hadn't been so keen to help him out now as it will run into next weekend too...

OMG I have been at it all day fgsWimp
